When will short term rental home owners in Florida wise up?
Despite the fact that vacation rental property prices in the Disney area are going through the roof, rental prices remain low.
Whilst the low costs can be seen by some as good for the consumer, the truth is that nobody wins in the longer term. The value offered by the short term rental homes is amazing when compared to the prices of close by motels. It would be a shame if this market was to slump to the point where owners can no longer afford to offer their beautiful villas to tourists.
Steve Curtis, CEO of Fab Villas who specializes in marketing these fabulous properties to holiday-makers, said “As the number of rental properties continues to grow, many owners are foolishly undercutting each other simply to make the monthly mortgage payment. This means that if they don’t obtain a booking for in excess of around 48 weeks per year they will probably lose money.”
If owners cannot afford the upkeep of their properties the rental subdivisions will eventually begin to look and feel dilapidated and will therefore become undesirable.
If there is nothing in it for the owners, then these rental homes will simply cease to exist and that means that we all lose out.
Let’s hope that’s not the case.

How hard can it be to find a competent, licensed electrician to install some cable TV points?
If you think it's easy, you would be very wrong.
This is Florida.
Licensed electricians are not cheap. They have trained for years following the lead of a really expensive master electrician and certain jobs are beneath them. Any kind of low voltage job falls into this category, so cable TV points are definitely out.
Competent laborers that actually turn up also seem hard to find.
I needed 6 cable TV points installed at my vacation rental villa in Kissimmee Florida. After 4 weeks of broken promises I got talking to Steve Curtis, CEO of Fab Villas. He suggested that I make contact with Wire It Right, a company that specializes in all kinds of low voltage installations in the Central Florida area.
What a breath of fresh air. Their staff are professional and much to my surprise turned up exactly when they said they would. Their installation could not be faulted, no messy holes in my walls and no cables showing. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
