Orlando still tops the list as buy to let properties in the four county Disney area are perfect for family vacation getaways and short term rental properties.  The Orlando tourism economy remains strong despite the overall US slowdown.  With Disney as an anchor, there is little fear that real estate sales in this area won’t pick soon. 

California and New York are also getting nods from the Brits – with many homes priced at a bargain and the Sterling at record lows, US vacation homes in many areas are well within reach.
