Orlando currently is the No. 6 best market for rental real estate investment in the Southeast and the No. 25 best market in the country as a whole,according to a recent report from All Property Management.   The best Southeast market is Raleigh, N.C., followed by Louisville, Ky.; Atlanta; Tampa; and Nashville. Miami came in at No. 8 in the Southeast, while Jacksonville came in at No. 12.   Other rental markets currently offering high returns on rental housing include San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, Austin and Minneapolis.

The Orlando-based economic development agency said Friday that it has taken out radio ads in Connecticut, promising a visit from Gov. Rick Scott. At issue is proposed budget hikes, which have drawn anger from Connecticut-based Aetna (NYSE: AET) and General Electric (NYSE: GE), both of which said they would consider moving their headquarters out of the state if the budget passes. “If you are a business that wants to pay less taxes so you can earn more money, come to Florida,” the Enterprise Florida ad says. “Florida Gov.
