Thinking about buying an Airbnb in Florida?
Florida has the tourism, but that doesn’t mean every market, or every property, offers the same opportunity.
We compared current AirDNA data across six Florida markets, and the differences are worth a closer look.
☀️ Key West was the revenue standout, with 60% occupancy, a $617 average daily rate, and $79,500 in average annual revenue.
☀️ West Palm Beach stood out for recent growth. Average annual revenue reached $45,900, up 26% year over year, with occupancy at 58%.
☀️ Jupiter is another smaller market worth watching, with 60% occupancy, a $328 average daily rate, and $38,400 in average annual revenue. Revenue was up 20.6% year over year.
☀️ Then there’s Miami. It has huge visitor appeal, but also a much larger supply of short-term rentals. It’s a good reminder that a well-known destination can also mean a lot more competition.
☀️ Orlando and Kissimmee benefit from Central Florida’s massive tourism industry, but investors are entering established vacation rental markets where the individual property, location, amenities, and purchase price can make a big difference.
💰 A DSCR loan may allow some investors to qualify based primarily on the property’s expected rental income.
