Poconos Vacation Rentals

[Davis Collins]

Hi Everyone -

I am interested in buying a vacation rental property in the Poconos area.  I live in Baltimore Maryland, so I will need good people on the ground.

1. Does anyone have a good property manager (offering comprehensive services) in the area or have a good experience with Evolve?  What is a reasonable fee for property managers in the area?

2. Are there any areas to stay away from?

3. What % of the year are vacation homes in this area rented out, typically?

Any insight you can provide would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Planned Communities that have a HOA that supports a rental/management office are a good place to start. Those offices give your rental guests an opportunity to "check-in", get a gate or parking pass, wristbands for the amenities, etc. I like the following STR-Friendly communities:

Towamensing Trails

Bear Creek Lakes

Indian Mountain Lake

Emerald Lakes

Arrowhead Lakes

Lakes, beaches, pools are great amenities that make the marketing of your property easier. I maintain a list of communities and their STR-Friendliness. https://poconovacationhomesale...
