Vacation-home STR financing for Kissimmee and the Disney area — 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 — 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 — 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 4–9 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 — 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 — which is why these resort communities exist — 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 70–75% of AirDNA projected gross (trailing-12 actuals when the home has booking history), and we budget realistically for management, cleaning, and pool/utility costs.
