Where Magic Companies started

Magic Village Yards is Magic Companies' first project and a sales success: 180 homes sold in the first year. The community combines simplicity, sophistication and contemporary design.

Magic Village Yards is one of the three communities Magic Companies built in Kissimmee: the same short-term rental zoning, the same hotel-service operation, a different phase of the project. If you are still comparing it with what exists outside the group, start with the best Orlando communities for short-term rental; the Magic Village Yards community profile on Daniel's main site gathers the community data in one place.

What the community offers

Concierge and hotel services
Multilingual front desk
Gated community with security staff
Clubhouse
On-site maintenance and housekeeping
Full management of the property and the short-term rental

This is the standard Magic Companies service list across the group's communities. The official Yards material does not itemise the community's amenities. Check with Daniel what is available today before considering a unit.

Hotel service inside the house shows up on the bill every month: HOA, utilities, management, cleaning and linen replacement. The guide on what it costs to keep a vacation home in Orlando breaks those costs down line by line, and the one on costs and returns of a vacation home near Disney shows what is left after them.

Floor plans and sizes

The floor plans and unit sizes for Magic Village Yards are not in the developer's public material. Ask through the form and Daniel sends whatever he has, along with the price history per plan.

Location

In Kissimmee, in the theme park area

Yards is in Kissimmee, Florida, the same area as the other Magic Companies communities and as Orlando's theme park tourism. The development's official material does not publish a distance map; for a specific unit, Daniel confirms the exact location and real travel times.

How to buy in Yards today

All 180 homes sold in the first year and there are no developer units left. The way in is the resale market: Daniel keeps a waiting list and lets you know when a unit comes up.

What to check before making an offer

Floor plan, area and layout of the unit, confirmed on the home's own paperwork
The unit's own revenue and occupancy history, rather than the community average
Age and condition of the furniture and appliances, which drive the cost of putting the home back into rental
The current HOA amount and what it covers, plus the full annual cost of holding the home
The status of the commercial and hotel licences and how the management contract transfers
The community's age and HOA increase history, as it is the group's oldest project

On resale, a fair price is not the community average: it is the history of that particular home. The piece on how to assess the resale value of an Orlando home explains how to build that comparison, and the list of 7 factors that drive value in resort communities shows what tends to hold value over the years.

Resale prices vary by unit and by market moment. Daniel sends up-to-date comparables when something is available.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreigner buy in Magic Village?

In practice yes, and that is what most Brazilian clients do. Note that Florida has specific legislation restricting property purchases by certain foreign principals connected to so-called foreign countries of concern, with particular rules for agricultural land and for parcels near critical infrastructure or military installations, plus additional restrictions relating to China. Buyers must sign an affidavit at closing. Eligibility and the ownership structure, personal or through a U.S. entity, must be confirmed with a U.S. attorney and accountant before signing.

Do I need to travel to the U.S. to close?

Not necessarily. Many clients close remotely, with electronically signed documents and remote notarization when the title company accepts it. Visiting first is advisable, but not a requirement.

Can a Brazilian get financing?

Some lenders do finance foreign nationals, typically with 30% to 35% down and higher rates than residents get. Terms change often and depend on the lender and your profile. Daniel introduces the lenders his clients have recently closed with, and you negotiate directly with them.

Can I rent short-term and still use the home?

Yes. Magic Village is zoned for short-term rental, and the owner blocks their own dates on the management calendar. The higher the season you block for personal use, the lower the year’s revenue, and that trade-off goes into the simulation.

What taxes do I pay on the rental?

There is annual property tax, local lodging taxes and a U.S. income tax filing on the rental result, plus your obligations in Brazil. Specific figures depend on the county, the ownership structure and your situation. Daniel refers accountants who serve Brazilian clients, but tax advice comes from them.

What if I want to sell in a few years?

Magic Village tends to resell well precisely because it is small and sought-after, but a sale involves costs, withholding tax for foreign sellers and time on market. Plan the exit before you buy; Daniel also handles the sale when the time comes.
