The Ultimate Guide To Disney Area Golf Course Communities

March 12, 2009 by  
Filed under Resort Report

This Disney area golf course community list was created for my fellow Orlando golf lovers, there’s nothing like owning a vacation home and looking out onto the golf course while you sip your morning tea.  The only thing better than a gorgeous view of an Orlando golf course is to look out onto the ocean but since we are at a loss for salt water here in Central Florida the golf course is the next best thing.

Best Disney Area Golf Course Neighborhoods

Highlands Reserve in Davenport, FL


highlandsreservegolfclub1

The Highlands Reserve development includes a championship 18 hole (par 72) public golf course, a large communal swimming pool, a children’s play area and tennis courts. The Highlands Reserve clubhouse features a pro-shop and serves snacks and drinks. Highlands Reserve Golf Club

All Highlands Reserve Homes are set on generous plots and are not all crammed together as is found on many other developments. Most Highlands Reserve Homes benefit from conservation or golf course views, fully taking advantage of the beautiful setting at Highlands Reserve.  Right now you can get an amazing deal on  bank owned golf front homes in Highlands Reserve starting in mid $160,000 range. The low Highlands Reserve Homeowners Association fees of $480 annually  also make it a smart Davenport vacation villa investment choice.

DISNEY AREA SHORT TERM RENTAL MATH

So, where is the profit?

The following figures assume that, doing your own bookings, you will be able to rent out the house for 35 weeks a year and the outgoings are taken from my own homeowners accounts. You will note that the expenses between the different size of homes do not vary all that much which is an important consideration with regard to the amount of mortgage a home can stand.

Mortgage Payments

Based on an interest rate of 6% you will pay approx. $720 per year per $10000 borrowed, so the mortgage amount set to break even on the above figures would be approx. as follows:

$114514

$158264

$196320

$240763

The amount of down payment is your investment that dictates the final price of the home you can afford. The important thing is to keep your mortgage payment close to the parameters above.

Please remember that the rental income shown above is based on you doing your own bookings. Most management companies will not pay this amount. Some will pay a fixed rate for each week rented out, others will pay you a percentage of the income they take.

When you think that the average price of a 4 bed home is ranged between $250,000 and $300,000 you will be looking at a minimum investment of $100,000. But don’t be put off if you do not want to put down so much money and don’t want to do your own bookings.
