    Orlando Opportunity

    Confused

    Hi all!  Stumbled across this site and forum quite by accident, and I'm hoping to obtain some information.  I have a unique opportunity in the near future to relocate to Orlando Fl, for the purpose of school.  My thought process is that since I'm not sure once schooling is complete if I will remain there, I have been reviewing properties there that are zoned for short term rental purposes.  I realize that since I will be occupying the residence for the first 18 months that these inquaries could be a tad premature, but I really just want to make sure this transition goes as smoothley as possible.  So my questions are, are there any special circumstances I should/could be looking for now that will help me when I'm ready to rent my property??  Are there realtors whom specialize in just short term rental properties?  I've read on a few instances where short term rentals are governed highly, and getting tougher in the state of florida, is that true??  I have a host of other questions, but these should get me headed in the right direction.  Any information I can obtain to push me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

     Thank you,

    GinaJ

    Realtors don't dedicate much time to vacation rentals usually.  However, there are many vacation rental managers that should be able to assist you.  I recommend you visit the Vacation Rental Managers Association website (vrma.com) for finding vacation rental managers in the area your are planning to move to.  Only in very few areas in Florida laws got tougher in regards to vacation rentals.   However, in the area you are looking for there is a pretty big vacation rental marketplace.

     Good Luck!Paradise

    Actually - in the Orlando area, there are realtors that specialize in vacation home market and that have a great deal of knowledge of the short term rental market!  We found one while on vacation in Orlando (we just picked up a free magazine at the grocery store that focused on vacation homes).   We have now used our agent twice (first home purchased in May, 2007 - second one being built!) - in Orlando, it is a great market but it is huge, with TONS of options - a good realtor can make the process very pleasant!

    Best of luck to you!

    Buying or Selling a Vacation Home

    I'm looking for information from someone who has gone through the process of selling their vacation home. I've been a lodge owner for 4 years & was thinking of looking into selling. Any comments...
