Location

We undertake diligent and comprehensive research on developments across the world, to find the best investment opportunities for our clients. We ensure that these properties are of the best quality, value for money and in excellent locations. Our properties are in areas research has indicated are ripe for capital growth and have strong rental demand; we provide rental guarantees because we have every confidence in being able to rent them out.

Investment Background - Lake Fredrica

This is an excellent opportunity to invest in the greater Orlando real estate market. As prices of short-term rental accommodation, e.g. villas, have risen, and their supply has increased, it is becoming both expensive and difficult to invest in the area in this way and make the numbers stack up. Prices of short-term rental accommodation are falling in the short term in many parts of the central Florida area.

The demand in the area has been fuelled by the 75 million (and increasing) tourists travelling there every year and the associated commerce that it creates. However, unlike these “holiday let” properties, long term residential properties have hardly increased in value over the last three years and the potential to increase is astronomic.

We recommend investors turn their attention to this long-term rental market as this is where the best returns can now be made. This means you are investing in suburban Greater Orlando, in a conventional buy to let.

The simple fact is that the demand for long term rentals greatly outstrips supply. The reason is that thousands of people every week are moving permanently to Florida; most of that focus is around the Orlando and central Florida region - there is not enough rental accommodation to meet the long term renter’s demand.

These apartments on Lake Fredrica are let to American citizens on long-term lets and are undergoing refurbishment, scheduled to complete in 2007 – hence they form part of the current Orlando supply inventory. The 30 available to our clients will be refurbished by summer 2006.

The residential market offers an incredible investment opportunity over the short term and up to 10 years.
