As of August 2026, we analyzed 1,150 active for-sale homes in Vero Beach, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $449,900 and is projected to generate about $45,250 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 40.8% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — below the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Vero Beach #136 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Vero Beach sit a median of 78 days on the market, and 25% 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 — Vero Beach 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.

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