Vacation-home STR financing for Kissimmee and the Disney area โ qualifying on the home's projected short-term-rental income using AirDNA, not your W-2 or tax returns.
This guide walks through how the DSCR airbnb / short-term rental program applies specifically in the Kissimmee / Disney-area resort market โ qualifying math, the realistic AirDNA haircut, the resort communities lenders know, and how to get a quote in 30 seconds.
The Kissimmee / Disney-Area Vacation-Home DSCR Profile
Kissimmee (Osceola County), just south of Walt Disney World and Universal, is one of the largest purpose-built short-term-rental markets in the country โ and consistently one of our busiest STR sub-markets. Demand is fed by year-round theme-park tourism, and the inventory is unusually lender-friendly: large 4โ9 bedroom resort pool homes in communities zoned and built specifically for transient rental. The program mirrors the universal Airbnb / Short-Term Rental DSCR program: we qualify the home's projected STR income against the new payment.
Resort Communities We Finance
Lenders are comfortable with the established Disney-area STR communities, including Reunion Resort, ChampionsGate, Encore at Reunion, Storey Lake, Windsor Hills / Windsor Island / Windsor at Westside, Solterra, Paradise Palms, and Sonoma Resort โ plus the neighboring Orlando and Davenport corridors. These purpose-built communities tend to underwrite cleanly because short-term rental is the intended, permitted use.
Osceola County STR & Underwriting Notes
Short-term rental is permitted in designated vacation-home / transient zoning in Osceola County โ which is why these resort communities exist โ but you'll still need the proper county transient rental license, a Florida DBPR vacation-rental license, and to collect tourist development + sales tax. Always confirm the specific community's HOA rules and current county ordinance during diligence. On income, we typically underwrite at 70โ75% of AirDNA projected gross (trailing-12 actuals when the home has booking history), and we budget realistically for management, cleaning, and pool/utility costs.
