The case

Orlando's 'Medical City' - anchored by the VA Medical Center, Nemours, and UCF Health Sciences, with a fast-growing professional population and properties that lease quickly to qualified tenants.

Risks

Premium pricing and thin day-one yield (appreciation-first, not cash flow); newer-supply competition and high insurance. Verify HOA costs. Budget for HOA and CDD fees in these planned communities (often $200-500/month), though inland Orlando carries lower insurance than coastal Florida.

Best for

Appreciation buyers who want employment-anchored growth and a professional tenant base over immediate cash flow.
