Your eyes and hands in Orlando.

Yes, and many owners do. Florida places no residency requirement on rental property owners. What changes is not the ownership, it is the logistics: someone local has to show the home, screen applicants, meet vendors, inspect the property, and handle emergencies. That is exactly what a licensed property manager provides. Several of our owners live in other states or outside the United States entirely.

Video documented move-in and move-out inspections on every tenancy, plus periodic inspections and photo backed work orders in between. Everything is stored in your owner portal, so you are looking at the actual property rather than trusting a description of it. This is the single most common concern remote owners raise, and it is why the video standard exists.

Florida has no personal state income tax, which is one reason out of state investors buy here. Your rental income is still reportable on your federal return, and your home state may tax it as well depending on where you live. Florida does levy county property taxes, and non homestead properties are assessed differently than owner occupied homes. Confirm your specific situation with a CPA; this is general information, not tax advice.

Non resident owners can absolutely own and rent Florida property. Rental income paid to a nonresident is generally subject to United States withholding unless the owner elects to treat it as income effectively connected with a US trade or business, which is done through IRS paperwork with the withholding agent and reported annually on Form 1042-S. Separately, FIRPTA withholding applies when a foreign owner sells US real property. We coordinate documentation with your CPA or tax counsel, who should set the structure before the first rent payment arrives.

Many out of state investors do, for liability separation and estate planning reasons, and Florida LLCs are straightforward to maintain. It affects your insurance, your lender, and your tax filing, so it is a decision for your attorney and CPA rather than your property manager. We manage properties held personally and in entities alike; if the property is in an LLC, the management agreement and the lease are written in the entity's name.

You want a landlord policy rather than a homeowner policy, with liability coverage and, in Central Florida, careful attention to windstorm and roof provisions. Ask your carrier specifically how the policy treats a tenant occupied property and what documentation they expect after a storm. Our inspection records are frequently what makes a claim straightforward.

Call (407) 588-9600 during Orlando business hours, or send us a note and tell us the window that works where you live. Routine matters run through the owner portal and email, so nothing waits on catching each other live. For anything that needs a conversation, we schedule around your time zone rather than ours.

Yes. We coordinate the transition with your current manager or your existing tenant: leases, security deposits, ledgers, keys, and introductions. Because our management agreement is month to month with no termination penalty, changing managers from a distance carries no long term risk.
