Annual-rental management (leases, families, school calendars) and vacation-rental management (nightly turns, theming, OTA channels) are different businesses that happen to share a metro. The park-corridor resort zones need hospitality operators; the residential ring needs leasing professionals. Hire the lane, not the logo.
Ask about school-calendar leasing rhythm, HOA/CDD violation handling in master-planned communities, and storm-season protocols. Family-tenant retention through responsive maintenance is the metric.
Ask occupancy and ADR honestly achieved (not projected), management fee structure at full freight, review-score management, and county tourist-tax compliance. Theming and refresh cycles are real costs they should discuss unprompted.
STR legality is zoning-specific across Orange, Osceola, and Polk — your manager must know exactly which rules govern your address.
