Here are three points to keep in mind if you’re buying in Central Florida.

We’re asked many questions by people looking for a second home or investment property. So here are three things to consider if you’re looking in Central Florida:

1. Location. We speak to plenty of people who don’t know the intricacies of Central Florida, so ask yourself where you want to spend your time, what activities you want to do, is appreciation significant to you, do you want to be close to parks, the beach, or golf courses? We can help you answer these questions if you’re unsure.

“Areas that tend to have better schools hold their values well.”

2. Airbnb. These are very popular right now, even we love using them, and a slew of people are looking for them. Orange County, which makes up the majority of Orlando, is not zoned for short-term rentals, meaning you have to rent the property for at least seven months. So if you’re looking for an investment property to use as an Airbnb, better counties for that are Osceola, parts of Lake, and the Disney areas of Polk. 

3. Appreciation. Where will you see the best appreciation? Areas that have better schools tend to hold their values well.
