As of October 2026, we analyzed 1,588 active for-sale homes in Davenport, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $398,145 and is projected to generate about $40,477 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 34.0% 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 Davenport #161 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Davenport sit a median of 88 days on the market, and 21% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a slower-moving 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 — Davenport 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.
What actually works in Davenport
Cash-flow is the exception rather than the rule in Davenport right now: 50 of the 1,252 Davenport homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $427,000.
| Price | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
