If your goal is vacation-rental income, Kissimmee is almost always the first name that comes up. Right next to the Disney parks and running along Highway 192, the city is the center of short-term rentals in Greater Orlando.
Kissimmee is a pure vacation-rental play: resort communities planned for short-term rentals, proximity to Disney, and high tourist demand. Medium ticket and a strong income focus, with the seasonality and management that come with it.
