Me and the mrs have been looking hard at this over the last year. Have a look at www.orlandovillas.com Go to the forum and you will find a ton of info. The gerearal concensus on there is that you have to work very hard indeed at it just to break even(Thats assuming you are planning on renting it out.
If you are not planning on renting it and can afford to pay for it maintain it from here, then Florida property is an absolute bargain.

Thanks Les. Will check out the forum. So, having looked for so long what do you intend to do? For me the plan would be to rent out, but the mortgage would be quite small so any short fall would be fairly minimal (In theory)

We have come to the conclusion that it is a lot less hassle just to rent sombody elses villa a couple of times a year. We simply don't have the time to put into renting one out. It really is a lovely thought to own your own place over there though, especially when they look such good value. I think the info you will find on that forum make things much clearer.
