  • Investment Opportunities at Orlando’s Lake Buena Vista Resort

    Investment Opportunities at Orlando’s Lake Buena Vista Resort

    Central Florida seems to be one of the hottest markets in the United States right now. Much of that is fueled by the foreign investments in the vacation home market around the Walt Disney World Resort. One of the most popular resorts, and one of our personal favorites, is the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village.

    The Lake Buena Vista Resort is a condo hotel – it looks and acts like a large resort hotel but each unit is individually owned. The owner can stay in his/her unit anytime they would like. But, when the owner is not using it, the resort will rent out the room on behalf of the owner. This is a great deal and investment for the owner. This resort has a high occupancy and is able to charge high room rates. In fact, the resort can even guarantee that the owner will receive a 6% return during the first two years!

    Condo/hotels are becoming very popular in the Orlando area but none more so than the Lake Buena Vista Resort. This is a full resort with restaurants, health spa, fitness center, meeting rooms, convenience store, game room and pirate-themed pool and aquatic center. The resort is connected to the Lake Buena Vista Factory Outlet mall – one of Orlando’s favorite shopping destinations.

    Rooms have 2, 3 or 4 fully furnished bedrooms and are priced from $269,000 to over a million dollars for the penthouse units. Rooms are furnished with Tommy Bahama style amenities with whirlpool spa, large screen TV, granite counters, and washer and dryer.

    If you are in the market for an investment in an Orlando area property, be sure to check out this resort.

    Florida Vacation Investment Homes

    Ever thought about investing in a vacation home in Florida? Central Florida is the vacation capital of the world and the real estate market here is flourishing. Having a vacation investment home would give your family a beautiful, comfortable (and affordable!) place to stay when you visit Walt Disney World and the other attractions that the Orlando area has to offer.

    It can also be a great investment. Orlando has just been named the second fastest growing city in the United States by Forbes magazine. Thousands of people from all over the world have investment homes here in Florida that they rent when they are not using the home. We at Pan Am Real Estate can help you find renters and will manage your home for you when you are not here. Our attorney-owned company has managed foreign-owned properties for years.

    So what kind of home should you buy? In general, you will have three choices. One, is a standard single-family home. Two, you can buy a condominium or townhome. Three, you can invest in a condo/hotel. A condo/hotel is basically a large resort hotel where all units are individually owned and then rented out like a hotel by the property management company. Our most popular resort is the Lake Buena Vista Village Resort.

    All of these options can be great opportunities. And the prices can vary for each – from as low as $100,000 to over a million dollars.

  • What is a Vacation Home?

    What is a Vacation Home?

    Tourists around the Walt Disney World Resort area constantly see marketing for vacation homes. But what is a vacation home? Simply put, a vacation home is a privately-owned home that is rented out on a short term basis – often called a short term rental. It may be rented out by the night, or by the week. Typically, these homes are managed by professional property management companies who ensure the good working condition and cleanliness of the homes.

    Visitors flock to Orlando by the millions each year. Most will find accommodations in one of over 100,000 hotel rooms that the Orlando area has to offer. A Mickey themed room or an upscale contemporary suite provides satisfaction to most visitors. However, we are starting to see some families pass on the traditional hotel stay in favor of a large, beautiful home, with sufficient rooms for the entire family. In fact, another trend is to see multiple families or extended families, traveling together. These larger groups are seeking out resort homes with several bedrooms. This is what the vacation home can provide.

    Additional benefits of the vacation home typically include resort amenities like golf, tennis, private pools, as well as house advantages such as a full kitchen, washer and dryer, parking in your own garage, pool table, multiple flatscreen TVs, and more. Not to mention that the price of a house can often be cheaper than the cost of renting 3, 4 or more rooms in a nice hotel. Another distinct advantage for the home owner is the ability to stay in their own home while taking the family on vacation to Orlando.

    A very large area surrounding the Walt Disney World Resort is now dedicated to vacation home communities. To learn a little more about what is a vacation home, please visit us at www.YourOrlandoRealty.com or call us at 407-864-2551, so that we may answer any questions that you have.
