Hello all, we are back! We have a new location in Tobyhanna PA, our next meeting is April 4, 2024. If interested send me a DM for time and address. 

Welcome, great intro. I own both LTR's and have dabbled in the STR space in the Poconos for many years now. Also have a PM company located in Pocono Lake, let me know if there is anything you need along the way.

Our next Free meetup will be this Thursday June 8th at 7pm in Pocono Lake.  We have had a terrific turnout in past meetings, feel free to DM me for details.

Yes the Airbnb game is a very fluid situation in the Poconos with ordinances changing regularly. Having a good pulse of the market is key which is sometimes difficult when you’re an out of state investor. Having a solid team (property manager) on the ground will help mitigate buying in the wrong area. 
Our meetup is actually happing tonight and is typically the first Thursday of every other month. BP won’t allow me to post on this forum so DM if you want specifics.

@Jewel B. great job putting in that work on getting educated on REI. The "real" education begins once you get your first deal under contract! I have many years of investing in the Poconos with a good mix of LTR's, STR's, multi family and a few fix and flips. Would be happy to connect.

Also I host a meetup in NEPA if you’re ever in the area. 

Hey All our next REI meetup will be on December 1st in Pocono Lake, DM for more info (previous email with link was removed by moderator)

Hey @Justin Moser my business partner and I run a property management company located in Pocono Lake and he is also a licensed broker with Remax. I would be happy to make the intro, send me a DM if interested. 

Is there a question or is this a property for sale? 

Agreed that certain parts of the Poconos are very rural but there is still plenty of amenities they offer that Lehigh does not.  Kalahari, Great Wolf, 3 major ski mountains, plenty of hiking, golf and other outdoor activities.  Not to mention its proximity to NY and NJ.  

One last thing to consider is the expected development of Margaritaville that will generate roughly 1500 good paying jobs.

Just my 2 cents...

@Alyssa Altonaga Its township to township dependent, the list @Michael Baum shared should be helpful.

We have a property management company in Pocono lake with licensed agents, I would be happy to make the intro.
