As of October 2026, we analyzed 817 active for-sale homes in Daytona Beach, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $333,900 and is projected to generate about $37,672 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 53.8% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Daytona Beach #96 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Daytona Beach sit a median of 87 days on the market, and 23% 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 — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Daytona Beach, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.

What actually works in Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach works for investors, but the window is specific: 219 of the 648 Daytona Beach homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $396,000.

Share of those listings clearing an DSCR of 1.25, by price and bedroom count. The smaller figure is the median DSCR for that group.

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