Is Now a Good Time to Invest in Rental Property in Orlando?

by Eric English

Orlando has long been one of Florida’s most dynamic rental markets — and 2025 is shaping up to be a strong time to invest.

Why Investors Still Favor Orlando

  • Population growth continues, with over 1,000 people moving to Florida daily — many of them to Greater Orlando

  • The area has a diverse economy (healthcare, tech, tourism, logistics)

  • Short-term and long-term rental demand remain strong due to limited inventory

  • Universities, military bases, and hospitals create reliable renter pools

Home Prices vs Rental Rates

Even with home prices stabilizing, rental rates have held steady — especially in Clermont, Winter Garden, Davenport, and Lake Nona, where job growth and family-friendly development keep demand high.

Some neighborhoods still offer positive cash flow potential depending on price point, HOA fees, and taxes.

Short-Term Rentals and Regulation

Short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) are popular, but local zoning laws vary. Kissimmee and Four Corners are more Airbnb-friendly, while many areas of Orlando enforce restrictions. Always check city and county rules before buying.

Interest Rates and Long-Term Strategy

While interest rates have been higher recently, many investors are focused on buying now and refinancing later — capturing appreciation and tax benefits in the meantime.

I can help you analyze which neighborhoods offer strong rental returns, both short- and long-term.
