Disney Area Vacation Homes: What to Expect
Probably the most important aspect of the Disney Area Vacation Home Process is to have realistic expectations. Some agents, realtors, property managers, will mislead you or exaggerate to entice you to work with them. I feel one of the most important services I can provide is to tell you exactly what you can expect up front so you can plan accordingly.
First if you're financing the property don't expect it to cash-flow, i.e. pay all your bills, atleast in the early going. Based on one of the most respected property managers in all of Central Florida, www.villa4uflorida.com, you can expect the following:
25-35 Weeks A Year of Bookings with a "net net" to you as the homowner of
$500 / Week for a 4 Bedroom
$600 / Week for a 5 Bedroom
$700 / Week for a 6 Bedroom
These are hard and verifiable numbers averaged throughout the year. Don't be mislead by promises of $1200 to $2000 week for 45 weeks. It's simply not true.
Of course there are things you can do to increase your bookings such as do some of your own advertising in your local market (where you're from) or create your own website or list on other sites such as VRBO.com.
