As of August 2026, we analyzed 3,485 active for-sale homes in Orlando, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $412,000 and is projected to generate about $43,998 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 46.0% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Orlando #124 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Orlando sit a median of 69 days on the market, and 26% 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 — Orlando 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 Orlando

Orlando works for investors, but the window is specific: 586 of the 2,949 Orlando homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $434,000.

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.
