Florida is a very Landlord-Friendly State

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 16:06:10 GMT

Florida ranked high for no rent control, no state income tax, quick evictions, and strong rental demand driven by tourism and steady population growth

TurboTenant, a company owned and operated by landlords, put Florida on top using the following criteria for ranking states

The focus was on factors that directly impact profitability, risk, and the ease of managing properties for landlords.

Property and income taxes: States with low property and income tax rates offer landlords greater financial flexibility, particularly for smaller investors. Lower taxes help preserve cash flow and improve ROI, while higher rates can shrink profits and limit long-term growth.
Remote landlord feasibility: The analysis also considered the ease with which landlords can manage rentals from out of state. Strong infrastructure, favorable laws, and reliable access to property management tools enable landlords to operate efficiently from anywhere.
Rent control restrictions: Rent-control laws are only active in a handful of states, like California and New York, but they make it difficult for landlords to improve properties, adjust for inflation, and maintain long-term profitability. As a result, every state on this list bans rent control outright.
Demand for rentals: The list favored states with high rental demand, including those with desirable college towns, thriving job sectors, and booming populations. A steady tenant pool helps reduce vacancies, increase demand, and attract reputable renters.
Eviction process: Removing troublesome tenants shouldn't be a drawn-out, unpredictable ordeal. The list prioritized states with shorter eviction notice periods, streamlined court procedures, and laws that facilitate landlords' quick recovery of their property when tenants violate the terms of their lease.
Cost of entry: Affordability plays a huge role in determining whether a property can generate positive cash flow. As such, the list prioritized states where home prices are affordable for investors, especially those building portfolios or seeking long-term income.

The Orlando Real Estate Market provides fantastic opportunities for investors

Our city is a major tourist destination, and a attracts thousands of residents each year, including professional in sciences, technological and hospitality fields. They love to move here inspired by our wonderful lifestyle, attractions and thriving industries that are based in our city.

According to the Orlando Economic Partnership, the Orlando region is No. 1 in the nation for job growth. That also means there is strong housing demand in Orlando, with residents and newcomers seeking homes, and the real estate market still strong, despite some fluctuations in the past year.

Unlike other types of investments, a real estate investment appreciate over the long term, among other benefits.

Are you ready? Here are 5 ways to know if you are ready to purchase your first investment property.

1-You have the capital to make the investment. While there are some financial options to make your investment a reality, it’s important to evaluate your finances. Determine the amount of money that you are able to invest and assess your financial health, to ensure you have funds for charges and fees associate to the purchase, including down payment, closing costs and emergency reserves. If you plan to pay cash, you’re ready to go to the next step. If you will need financing, is extremely important to obtain a pre-approval letter from a lender.

2-You are familiar with the Orlando Real Estate Market. You don’t need to be an expert in this topic, but you should understand how the market works. That’s why is important to work with a real estate agent who is knowledgeable and have experience in investment properties. Is not the same to purchase a house to use as your residence that buy one as investment. There are also different rules and regulations for investors compared to owner-occupied properties.

3-You have an idea of the type of property you want. If you’re going to buy a residential o vacation property, will be good to have some idea if you want to have a single home, a condo or a townhome. Understanding how you plan to use the property is essential (for example, if you prefer a place for long-term or short-term rental). If you are looking at a commercial space, you should also know its intended use.

4-You find multiple properties that can be the one for you. While it’s rewarding to identify several properties that could be perfect for your investment, the process can be overwhelming. Is always recommended to research some neighborhoods with the help of an expert real estate agent. Orlando is huge, has many surrounding cities, offering plenty of choices, including new homes and resales.

5-You analyze and prioritize property management. You need to evaluate if you’re going to manage and maintain the property, which is difficult if you don’t live here, or hire a management company. Is a big challenge if you don’t have the knowledge of rules and regulations that apply to rental properties. Although you don’t need to choose before purchasing, is highly recommended to talk with a management company about their services and contract options.

If you’re thinking of buying an investment property, we’re here to help. Our expert team has the experience and the excellent references from hundreds of satisfied investors, making us the best choice for you.

What to consider if you want to invest in a property in Orlando or Miami

milena@vivaorlando.com (Milena Valle) — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 20:22:31 GMT

Orlando and Miami are two world-renowned cities throughout the world. And we’re fortunate to have both wonderful places in our state of Florida. For decades, we have seen investors that come to the State attracted by those cities. Now, many are still considering investing in a property in Florida, but they’re evaluating which is a better place for the investment.

Orlando and Miami are two world-renowned cities throughout the world. And we’re fortunate to have both wonderful places in our state of Florida. For decades, we have seen investors that come to the State attracted by those cities. Now, many are still considering investing in a property in Florida, but they’re evaluating which is a better place for the investment.

Investing in property requires careful consideration, which goes beyond whether if the city is beautiful or which you like more. Putting your money into a property and receiving a good return for your investment, is a decision that you need to make carefully.

Both cities offer unique opportunities, but you need to consider the benefits of each one, the amount of money that you’re willing to invest and the goals of your purchase.

Let's explore some considerations for each city:

Prices

This is a huge difference between the two cities. Miami has higher property prices when compared to other cities in Florida, including Orlando. This may require a significant investment from you, making it necessary to carefully evaluate your budget and cost of living, including the expenses that you will have as an owner. Typically, the higher the price, the more expenses you will have.

On the other hand, Orlando has a wide variety of prices, giving investors more choices at the time of the purchase. Our prices are more affordable than Miami, and compared to that city, Orlando generally offers a lower cost of living, which can make it an attractive investment option for those seeking more affordable properties.

Finding the right property at the right price is one of the best things that you can do when you invest in a property.

Lifestyle

Miami is well known for its vibrant lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and its great nightlife and is one of the favorite spots for rich and famous from all over the world. Orlando is well known for the most popular theme parks around the world, such as Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort and is a favorite place for families and residents of all ages that come here from around the world.

Appreciation Potential

Both cities have a robust and diverse economy. Also, a solid real estate market, with a great track record of appreciation over time. Both Orlando and Miami have experienced significant economic growth in recent years, thanks to new industries establishing themselves, providing them with economic stability and a favorable investment climate.

Rental/income potential

The Orlando area is considered the capital of the vacation homes and has a strong demand for short-term rental properties as is a popular tourist destination due to the theme parks. But Miami has long been considered a vacation paradise for beach lovers and international jet-setters. Many celebrities have bought mansions and luxurious condos there. All these mean that both cities attract tourists year-round who like to rent vacation homes rather than hotels.

Also, in Central Florida (Orlando) we receive thousands of newcomers every month, and this makes this area very attractive to invest in properties for long-term rentals as well. This segment is in strong demand and can provide you with a steady rental income. Orlando is not only known for its tourism but also has a diverse economy thanks to the technology, healthcare, and aerospace industries, which is favorable for the real estate market.

As you can read both cities offer benefits, opportunities, and considerations that you need to evaluate prior to investing in a property. Your decision will depend on your budget, goals and preferences.

If you think Orlando is your best option, we are here to help you. This is a great time to invest in a vacation home for short-term rental, or residential property, for long-term rentals. There are great incentives for buyers and great prices.

Our expert team at Viva Orlando, are local real estate professionals, who live and work here in our city. We have helped hundreds of customers to invest in properties. Contact us and we will talk about the market trends and answer all your questions.

If you are an international buyer, you can purchase a property in Orlando with no special requirements.

Tue, 09 Aug 2022 19:59:40 GMT

In Orlando we continue to see foreign buyers coming to our city to buy properties. Many of them are investors, or individuals and families who purchase a vacation home to enjoy all that our city has to offer while they are vacationing here. All of them enjoy the benefits of the smooth process of buying a property here, even if they do not live in the United States or are not U.S. citizens.

All of them enjoy the benefits of the smooth process of buying a property here, even if they do not live in the United States or are not U.S. citizens. Is important that you know that foreign buyers can purchase a property here without special requirements, in the same way U.S. citizens or permanent residents are able to. The on ly difference that you will notice is if you buy with financing. Let me explain the options.

If you are a cash buyer, the process will be faster and with less closing costs, plus you can negotiate benefits, as a lower price, or receive some incentives from sellers, such as part of the closing costs. This varies depending on the property If you need a loan to purchase, the process will be longer and more expensive, but this is the way that many buyers do it. If financing is required, you must qualify with the parameters that the lender request. You must be sure that the lender offers mortgages for foreign nationals. As important note, if you buy with financing, you will be required to have between 30%-40% down payment, in addition to the closing costs. This percentage can be higher depending on your financial situation and the type of loan that you qualify for.

All other property expenses, such monthly utility bills and maintenance fees are the same for everyone, regardless of where the owner lives or come from.
Regardless of the way of purchase, you'll enjoy all the perks of owning a wonderful property here, including having an excellent return of investment.
Keep in mind that even if you don't live here, you will still need to pay property taxes, and other taxes as for example to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), if you decided to rent your property either long-term or as a vacation home. It is important that you know your tax obligations as an owner, and we suggest you consult with an accountant or the IRS office.

It is important also, that you know that buying a property does not guarantee a change of status in your visa for the United States. We are a Real Estate company, specialized in the purchase and sale of vacation and residential homes, and we do not offer any kind of advice on immigration issues. If you have a question on this topic, we suggest you consult an attorney specializing in immigration matters.
Call or email today, we are experienced in working with international and out of town clients and will guide you during the buying transaction from the beginning until you receive the keys of your property.

Three strategies if you’re planning to invest in a property in Orlando

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 19:47:10 GMT

These has been unprecedented times for all of us, and we all understand that the highest priority is to stay healthy. But as we don’t know when this is going to end, is also important, for those who is possible, to continue working to reach their goals. This applies to all aspects of life, including financial plans and we have already seen this in particular at our Viva Orlando Realty office, with property buyers.

While some have had to postpone their plans, other purchase transactions continue to the closing, and we are receiving requests from potential buyers who want to know what strategies to use to continue investing in real estate.

With fewer homebuyers and the interest rates with lower level in years, there is a window of opportunities for those who are ready to buy.

It is true, in our city of Orlando, as in the rest of the world, we are still in the middle of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, and although it has caused a great economic impact, there are buyers looking for opportunities to make solid investments, such as real estate, acquiring properties for long-term rentals especially, but others for short-term rentals such as vacation properties. Although we don't know when this coronavirus crisis will end, we do know that the vacation industry will recover and in Orlando, which is the world capital of theme parks, tourists will return.

Our message to friends and clients is that postponing your dreams does not mean canceling them, it means that you need to focus in your priorities and when all this is over, taking up your goals. We, now and in the future, will continue to be here to help you.

If you are considering investing now, here are three of our recommendations to get you started:

1-Work with an agent who specializes in investment properties.

There is nothing better than starting a project in the right way, and for this, it is essential to first find a specialized agent that can give you the best professional advice about all aspects of buying a property as investment. There is a large amount of inventory available right now, but make sure you take the right steps to avoid mistakes. What is the type of property most convenient for you? How do you know you are paying a good price and which is the potential of the house? What benefits and incentives can you get now in this market? What is the property buying process like in Florida and what are the costs of being owner-investor? For all those questions you will find answers with us. At Viva Orlando Realty we are specialists with extensive experience in buying and selling properties in Orlando, mostly for clients who live outside of Florida or outside of the United States. Our office provides property management services for long-term and vacation rentals as well.

2-Evaluate the type of investment that you want to make before starting the search.

Buying a property to rent long-term is not the same as to buy a vacation home for short-term rental when you do not use it. Your decision should depend on the income expectations you are looking for. If you are looking for a stable income, with lower operating costs and make a profit after covering the costs of housing, long-term rental may be your best option. The need for rental housing is very high in Orlando and this trend will continue. Likewise, if you are interested in a vacation home, we will guide you through the entire purchase and rental process.

3-Determine the real budget of your purchase, evaluate location and characteristics of the home.

To make your investment a great success you need to purchase the right property and understand that the costs will not only be the price that you pay for it. Knowing the expenses you will have as an owner, the projection of income-equity, and the most convenient type of property to rent according to the market, will help you define your investment. Depending on the type of home, are the responsibilities of the owner and the maintenance it requires. Location, community facilities and access routes are also essential. We will show you all the properties that meet your requirements and you can make the best decision. We will assist you in all steps of the process until you close and receive the keys of your property.

Tres estrategias si está pensando invertir en una propiedad en Orlando

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 19:38:07 GMT

En un momento histórico como el que estamos viviendo y en el que la prioridad es mantenernos saludables, también resulta importante en la medida que sea posible, continuar con las metas que nos hemos trazado. Son muchas las personas que tendrán que posponerlas, pero otras continuarán con sus planes. Esto aplica a todos los aspectos de la vida, incluyendo los planes económicos y ya lo hemos visto en particular en nuestra oficina de Viva Orlando Realty, con compradores de propiedades.

Mientras unos han tenido que posponer, (hay menos compradores buscando casas) otras transacciones de compra se siguen completando, y estamos recibiendo peticiones de posibles compradores que quieren saber qué estrategias usar para continuar con sus planes de invertir en bienes inmobiliarios.

Con la ventaja de los intereses bajos en los préstamos hipotecarios y que hay menos competencia porque hay menos compradores, este es un buen momento para invertir para aquellos que estén listos para hacerlo.

Es cierto, en nuestra ciudad de Orlando, como en todo el mundo, estamos todavía en medio de la pandemia del coronavirus COVID-19, y aunque ha causado un gran impacto económico, hay compradores en busca de oportunidades para hacer inversiones sólidas, como las de bienes raíces, adquiriendo propiedades para rentar a largo plazo especialmente, pero otros para rentas a corto plazo como son las propiedades vacacionales. Aunque no sabemos cuándo esta crisis del coronavirus terminará, sí sabemos que la industria de vacaciones se irá recuperando y en Orlando, que es la capital mundial de los parques temáticos, los turistas regresarán.

Nuestro mensaje para amigos y clientes, es que el posponer sus sueños no significa cancelarlos, significa atender sus prioridades y cuando todo esto termine, retomar sus metas. Nosotros, ahora y en el futuro seguiremos aquí para ayudarlos.

Si está pensando invertir ahora, estas son tres de nuestras recomendaciones para empezar:

1-Oriéntese con un profesional.

No hay nada mejor que empezar bien un proyecto, y para esto, es fundamental informarse primero de todos los aspectos de la compra de una propiedad. En estos momentos hay gran cantidad de inventario disponible, pero hay que asegurarse de dar los pasos adecuados para evitar errores. ¿Cuál es la propiedad más conveniente para usted? ¿Cómo saber que está pagando un buen precio y cuál es el potencial de la propiedad? Qué beneficios e incentivos puede obtener ahora? ¿Cómo es el proceso de compra de propiedades en la Florida y cuáles son los costos como propietario inversionista? Para todas esas preguntas encontrará respuestas con nosotros. En Viva Orlando Realty somos especialistas con amplia experiencia en la compra y venta de propiedades en Orlando, mayormente para clientes que viven fuera de la Florida o fuera de Estados Unidos. Nuestra oficina se encarga además del manejo de propiedades para rentas a largo plazo y vacacionales.

2-Evalúe el tipo de compra que hará antes de empezar la búsqueda.

Comprar una propiedad para rentar a largo plazo no es lo mismo que una vacacional para rentar a corto plazo cuando usted no la utilice. Su decisión debe depender de las expectativas de ingreso que busque. Si busca ingreso estable y obtener ganancias luego de cubrir los costos de la vivienda, la de renta a largo plazo podría ser su mejor opción. La necesidad de viviendas para alquilar es bien alta en Orlando y esa tendencia se mantendrá. Igualmente si interesa una casa vacacional, le orientaremos sobre todo el proceso de compra y rentas.

3-Determine el presupuesto real de su compra, la localización y las características de la vivienda.

Encontrar la propiedad adecuada a su presupuesto y la más atractiva para rentar, es clave para el éxito de su inversión. También es importante tener el presupuesto adecuado, que va más allá del precio de la vivienda. Conocer los gastos que tendrá que hacer como propietario, la proyección de ingresos y ganancias, y el tipo de propiedad más conveniente para rentar, le ayudará a definir su inversión. Dependiendo del tipo de vivienda, son las responsabilidades del propietario y el mantenimiento que requiere. También es fundamental la localización, las facilidades de la comunidad y las vías de acceso disponibles. Le mostraremos todas las propiedades que reúnen sus requisitos para que usted haga la mejor decisión y le asistiremos en todas las partes del proceso hasta que complete el cierre de su propiedad.

¿Qué pasa en Orlando durante el tiempo del coronavirus?

milena@vivaorlando.com (Milena Valle) — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 02:38:24 GMT

Amigos de Viva Orlando Realty. Como saben, estamos viviendo momentos históricos debido a la pandemia del coronavirus covid-19, algo que ha afectado a todo el mundo. Muchos de ustedes se han comunicado con nosotros para saber cómo estamos en nuestra oficina y qué efectos ha tenido este virus en nuestra ciudad y en la industria de los bienes raíces.

Orlando no ha sido la excepción a lo que está pasando en el mundo entero y nuestra vida diaria se ha visto trastocada por esta pandemia. La mayoría de los negocios están cerrando, y otros, incluyendo nuestras oficinas, han seguido algunas operaciones de manera remota, atendiendo llamadas y dando seguimiento a las necesidades de nuestros clientes, con horario limitado y tomando todas las medidas necesarias para garantizar la seguridad y salud de todos, de acuerdo a lo establecido por las autoridades gubernamentales.

En nuestro caso, hemos visto muchas transacciones de compra y venta de propiedades detenidas o pospuestas, ante la incertidumbre que se vive. Hay muchos compradores y vendedores que están a la expectativa esperando que esto termine y eso lo comprendemos.

Por otro lado, hay un grupo de compradores que disfrutan de buena estabilidad económica que continúan buscando propiedades para comprar, ya que para ellos este es un gran momento para comprar, pues hay variedad de inventario disponible, con las casas que ya estaban previamente a la venta. Además, estos se benefician de los bajísimos intereses en caso de necesitar financiamiento.

En cuanto a nuestra ciudad, una donde el turismo es nuestra principal actividad, y con las restricciones obligatorias que se han tenido que imponer a los viajes, los miles de turistas que estaban listos para disfrutar sus vacaciones tuvieron que cancelarlas y los que estaban aquí, regresaron a sus hogares.

Nuestros parques temáticos, que son los más famosos del mundo, están cerrados, ¡todos! Esto incluye los de Walt Disney World, los de Universal Orlando Resort, los de SeaWorld y Legoland, así como el Centro Espacial Kennedy de la NASA, una fantástica atracción que está a una hora de Orlando. También cerraron la mayoría de los hoteles, incluyendo los resorts de Disney y de Universal, así otras atracciones y los grandes centros comerciales. Igualmente los restaurantes, aunque por el momento se permite que estos vendan comida para llevar.

Aquí también se suspendieron las clases. Ya las Universidades no tendrán clases presenciales en todo el semestre y los niños y jóvenes empezará a tomar clases en línea para que no tengan que ir a las escuelas y no pierdan su año escolar. Tenemos toque de queda, tanto en el condado de Orange como en el de Osceola, en efecto desde las 11:00 p.m. hasta las 5:00 a.m. Esto incluye las áreas de Orlando y Kissimmee, entre otras.

Nosotros al igual que muchos otros lugares de Estados Unidos y otras partes del mundo, seguimos en Estado de Emergencia y en compás de espera, pero de una cosa estamos seguros: Esta crisis provocada por el coronavirus pasará y nos recuperaremos.

Por ahora entendemos su prioridad, que es mantener su salud y la de su familia, y permanecer en sus hogares siguiendo las instrucciones de sus autoridades en cada uno de sus países. Tenemos fé de que pronto se pueda encontrar una solución a la propagación de este virus, y cuando eso suceda, nosotros estaremos aquí como siempre, disponibles para seguirlos orientando ya sea que quiera comprar, vender o alquilar una propiedad en Orlando.

Le deseamos paz, paciencia y sobre mucha salud para ustedes y sus familias, y esperamos el próximo mes regresar con muchas buenas noticias.

What’s happening in Orlando during the coronavirus pandemic?

milena@vivaorlando.com (Milena Valle) — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 15:20:15 GMT

Update from Viva Orlando Rentals

Friends of Viva Orlando Realty. As you know, we are experiencing historical moments due to the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, something that has affected everyone. Many of you have contacted us to find out how we are in our office and what effects this virus has had on our city and on the real estate industry.

Orlando has not been the exception to what is happening in the whole world. This pandemic is disrupting basic aspects of our daily life. Most businesses are temporarily closed; however, some others are operating remotely, including our office that is answering calls and giving follow up to our client’s needs, but taking measures to guarantee the safety and health of all, according to what is established by government authorities.

In our case, we have seen many purchase and sale transactions on hold or postponed, given the uncertainty that exists. There are many buyers and sellers who are waiting to see this end and we completely understand that.

On the other hand, there is a group of buyers who are able to invest in a property now or are confident about their job security, who continue to look for properties to buy. For them this is a great time to buy, as there is great inventory available. Also, for those who needs a financing, they will have the benefit of low rates.

As for our city, one where tourism is our main activity, and with the mandatory restrictions that have had to be imposed on travel, the thousands of tourists who were ready to enjoy their holidays had to cancel them and those who were here, returned to their homes. This is the time to be at home.

Our theme parks, which are the most famous in the world, are closed, all of them! This includes Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld and Legoland Resort, as well as NASA's Kennedy Space Center, a fantastic attraction that is an hour from Orlando. Most hotels also closed, including the Disney and Universal resorts, as well as other attractions and large shopping malls. Also the restaurants, although for the moment they are allowed to sell takeaways.

Classes were also suspended not only in Orlando, in the State of Florida. Universities will no longer have face-to-face classes throughout the semester and children and young people will begin to take classes online so that they do not have to go to schools and do not miss their school year. We have curfew for Orange County and Osceola, effect from 11 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. This included Orlando and Kissimmee area among others.

We, like many other places in the United States and other parts of the world, remain in a State of Emergency, but we are sure of one thing: This crisis caused by the coronavirus will pass and we will recover.

For now the priority is staying safe and healthy at home with your family and follow the instructions of your authorities in each of your countries. We hope that the solution to the spread of this virus can be found soon, and we will be here as always, available to guide you further whether you want to buy, sell, or rent a property in Orlando.

We wish you peace, patience, and health for you and your family, and we look forward to next month hoping that we can share good news with all of you.

Viva Orlando Rentals -COVID-19 Update to Our Homeowners

Sat, 21 Mar 2020 17:43:18 GMT

Dear Homeowner

Most of our tenants households are expected to face financial burdens in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

As Covid 19 continues to impact us all we are already receiving calls from tenants worried that they won’t be able to make their monthly payments because of the uncertainty of not receiving their paychecks due to businesses closing abruptly - some on a temporary basis , others permanently - or a reduction in work hours to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

While it’s been said that there will be some assistance, it is not certain how and when.

Due to this disruption of income, we will first check which tenants have renter’s insurance and if their policy covers this incident.

If they don’t, I would like to consult with you if you agree to work out a payment plan for the tenants who will be reaching out for help in April?

Some options can be:

* Spread the payment out over the next three to six months.

* Allow up to 90 days for tenant to make the April’s rent payment

* Or even accept a partial payment if it is in your possibilities

* Use their security deposit and give them a certain amount of months to replenish it. ( We would only like to apply this option for homeowners who need to pay a mortgage payment and are short of cash in their US bank account)

Needless to say we will need to waive late fees for everyone who’s not able to pay on time

We are proactively working on a Rent Payment Agreement to fill and sign in the first two weeks of April.

It’s also important to share that President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the Department of Housing and Urban Development will temporarily suspend “all foreclosures and evictions” amid the coronavirus crisis.

In other words we won’t be able to evict tenants for lack of payment.

Thank you very much and we look forward to receiving your comments,

The Viva Orlando Rentals Team
