As of October 2026, we analyzed 1,305 active for-sale homes in Boca Raton, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $565,000 and is projected to generate about $66,589 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 38.5% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — below the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Boca Raton #145 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Boca Raton sit a median of 68 days on the market, and 25% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — Boca Raton runs tighter once operating costs are accounted for: many listings need a below-median price, a stronger short-term-rental setup, or more money down before the income covers the payment. It's a market where running the numbers property-by-property matters.
