Owning and renting out a second home in Orlando is an attractive proposition, it has been stated.

In a feature on the subject, eGruve.com suggested that there are many particular advantages to owning an Orlando property and renting it out to holidaymakers.

Among those listed were the growing number of holidaymakers, the presence of attractions such as Universal Studios, Disney World and SeaWorld, the lower insurance premiums compared to beach resorts – due to less hurricane damage inland – and the "serious incentives" being offered by some sellers.

Such an investment should "pay for itself quickly" through short-term holiday rentals, the site suggested, with the local attractions meaning that tourism is much less seasonal than in coastal locations.

One location where some may be keen on buying an Orlando property is near Mission Road in the west of the city.

An extended part of the road is to be named Barack Obama Highway by the city council, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
