Moving to Orlando, Florida - Three significant reasons:
Economic stability and booming infrastructure
Orlando is the first of the top 10 cities to live in, according to Forbes. One reason is that it hits the target on some crucial factors of economic stability.
Infrastructure - The influx of people due to the tourism industry have not only sprouted a diverse economy in areas such as medical and life sciences, aerospace, sports, gaming, and technology but has made expansion of infrastructure a certainty.
Billions are being invested in transportation, medical centers, and other life-quality features. Also, competitive products are ever-growing. This means lower costs and better access to products and services for you and your family. Contentment, in a word.
Job stability is a major concern, and tends to creep into private anxieties - things are going well until they aren’t. Job growth has been particularly vigorous along with the population growth. Add to this, a diversified industry, and you have a very desirable synergy.
Educational opportunities are brimming as well. Not only are schools highly reputable, but the higher education community is gaining its own status among the best. Particularly of interest is the newly accredited Florida Polytechnic University specializing in engineering, science, and technology.

Entrepreneurship - This is the place to be!
At first glance, the city that has Disneyworld as one of its major attractions won’t spring to mind as a startup haven. However, if you think about it, the presence of Disney World, Epcot, and the film studios would draw creatives from around the globe. Not only has entertainment leaders drawn creatives, but other leading industries have also added their contribution. For instance, the well-established aviation, aerospace and technology sector has contributed to a highly advanced and shared expertise.
With a mixed pot of energy, creativity, and drive, you can expect a really high level of innovation. The forgiving tax climate is a contributing advantage. Business development is further supported by tax incentives for promoting targeted growth industries.
Real estate investment opportunities - A good time to get involved
There is ample opportunity in real estate investment as a direct result of the dynamic nature of the developments described. The rapidly expanding infrastructure creates a huge scope for investment. It is a matter of choosing bigger investments in large scale developments or simply getting into buying property for rental purposes.
