Just found out you owe a lot in taxes this year? You have until December 31 to change that number. Buy a short-term rental and place it in service before year-end, and 100% bonus depreciation can turn a cost-seg study into a year-one write-off that offsets your income. It has to be a real rental business: average guest stay of 7 days or less, and you have to materially participate. Talk to your CPA about how this applies to you. DM me INVEST and I will run the math on what an STR purchase could save you before the year runs out. Call or text 407-588-6575.

What’s the smartest Orlando neighborhood for a relocating family? If you are moving to Orlando, Orange County, Florida, use one test. Commute circle first. Schools second. Privacy third. My three picks: Dr. Phillips ($916,250 median single-family sale), Celebration ($830,000), Baldwin Park ($1,100,000). Warning: Baldwin Park HOA fees can top $1,000 a month. DM me GUIDE and I will send you the Orlando Relocation Guide with the neighborhood breakdown. Or call or text 407-588-6575.

Is owner financing a good idea for the seller? Here is the math I walk sellers through at the listing table. $400,000 sale, 10% down ($40,000), finance $360,000 at 6% for 30 years. $2,158 a month. 360 payments = $777,017, plus the down payment = $817,017 total, vs $400,000 once in a cash sale. And if you don’t want to wait 30 years, add a 10-year balloon: $2,158 a month for 10 years, then a $301,269 balloon payment, for $600,274 total in 10 years. That is $200,274 more than the cash sale, and you are out in 10. Honest caveats: that is not $817,017 in today’s dollars, and you carry the risk if the buyer stops paying, which is why the Performance-First structure matters.

Is owner financing a good idea for the seller in Orlando, Orange County, Florida? Here is the math I walk sellers through at the listing table. Illustrative example: $400,000 sale, 10% down ($40,000), finance $360,000 at 6% for 30 years. Principal and interest: $2,158 a month. 360 payments total $777,017, plus the down payment = $817,017 collected, vs $400,000 once in a cash sale. A cash sale taxes the gains in year one; owner financing spreads the gains out as payments arrive. Honest caveats: that is not $817,017 in today’s dollars, and the seller carries the risk if the buyer stops paying, which is why the Performance-First structure matters. Taxes and insurance sit on top and they do move; only principal and interest stay locked. Talk to your CPA and your attorney.

Where should I buy a house in Orlando, Orange County, Florida? Start with supply, not vibes. August 2026: 12,144 active listings, 4.9 months of supply, median price $400,676, 64 days on market average (ORRA). Six months is a balanced market, so at 4.9 buyers get choice and sellers still have a floor. New listings are up 5.1% from last year, and the bank rate sits at 7.40% (Freddie Mac, week ending Oct 8, 2026). Buy where days on market run long and the price already moved once. That is where sellers negotiate. DM me GUIDE for the Orlando Relocation Guide with the neighborhood breakdown, or text 407-588-6575.

What is being built on International Drive in Orlando, Orange County, Florida? A 17-story, 240-unit vacation rental tower called Glasstone Morada Orlando, proposed at 11304 International Drive across from SeaWorld. Plans were submitted to Orange County in September 2026 (Attraction Insight, Oct 12). The 2.92-acre site sold for $4 million in August 2024, and a 2023 plan for 267 apartments was never built. 240 new short-term rental units is a supply signal for Disney-area STR investors, and corridors that densify lift the condos and townhomes around them. Still in county review.

DM me STR and I will send you the Disney STR investment menu: https://www.evfloridarealestate.com/new-smyrna-beach/disney-str-investment -menu-heading

What happens when an approved I-Drive apartment site goes to bankruptcy auction? 3 acres between I-Drive and I-4, approved for 269 apartments plus 14,000 sq ft of retail, hits a live Zoom auction October 21. The owner filed Chapter 11 in April. Approvals like that take years and a fortune to get. Whoever buys this skips the whole entitlement fight and walks in shovel-ready on the tourism corridor. Distress does not mean the land is bad. It means the debt was.

Is owner financing safe?

It comes down to the structure you use.

Traditional seller financing will have risks, either the seller or the buyer will take on that risk.

With Performance-First we mitigate that risk an allow for sellers and buyers to transact safely with protections in place for both.
