Numbers investors should review
These are the items Fabiola puts in front of you before you decide.
Short-term rentals (under 30 days) follow different rules. See Vacation Homes & STR.
- Non-homestead taxes. Investment properties don’t get the homestead exemption, and their assessed value can rise more each year. Plan with that in mind.
- HOA rental rules. Minimum lease terms, caps on rentals and approval processes vary by community.
- Mid-term rentals. Furnished stays of one to several months can serve medical staff and relocating professionals, for example near Lake Nona’s Medical City.
- Insurance. Landlord policies cost more than homeowner policies. Get quotes during the inspection period.

What is a mid-term rental?
A furnished rental of about one to several months, often used by medical staff, relocating professionals and families between homes.
Can I invest in Orlando if I live in another state?
Yes. Fabiola works with out-of-state investors: she searches the MLS, tours homes by video and coordinates every step to closing.
