sorry I am looking at buying property in Orlando and therefore wanted to ask you guys if you'd had any good experience of renting out property in this area. But after reading your forums I can find nothing but bad news.

Anout the only thing that might save Orlando are the hordes of Brits driving up demand and prices. From what I understand, the Gulf coast is where the smart money is going and I'm heading over there in a couple of weeks to have a good look.

One of the things which concerns me a bit are the quite ridiculous rental yields that are quoted by some of the developers and realtors but, then again, it's their job I suppose.

We found that our property in Kissimmee bought quite a few years ago just about pays for itself through rental income, but was a bad investment nonetheless because of relatively stagnant house prices. Same money invested in UK property would have done wonders.

As I haven't been able to find one anywhere, I'm working on a investment appraisal model for Florida property and I am looking forward to seeing how it compares to the typical UK projection.

The trouble with UK property is that prices seem to have peaked and (in the best British tradition) are likely to rather violently adjust some time in the next 12 months. Add to this prospect of higher interest rates, general UK over-indebtedness and grunts coming out of Government about taxing sales of principal private residences and you have a recipe for trouble.

For a brand new house with swimming pool that cost $149,000 in 1999 in Kissimmee, we were getting about a $6,000 a year increase.
