This group really pushed me over the edge to NOT signing up with one of those coaching services and come here with my questions, so here goes.I really want to find a home in one of a few particular neighborhoods in the Poconos.

Quote from @Dedrick Carr: I'm really thinking about signing with this company.

The owner Roy Guy will say whatever it is you need to hear to sign the contract, then you'll hardly hear or see a peep from them until it's time to shell out cash for something they did to mismanage. 

Also the new owner has the advantage of screening their own tenants and signing leases at or above market rents.

No rental signs, minimum 1-2 year owner occupancy, restrictions on the number of rentals, etc. 

Recently I have had 2 different people kinda proposing the same thing: they want to sign a year lease with me not to live there but to then in turn rent it out short term to others. 

If she wants to protect herself, tell her she can record the inspection with pictures, and you will give her a signed copy of the inspection sheet.Honestly, if you anticipate the charges to be less than $500, I would refund the deposit and be done with her.

•Since it’s just 3 miles from your house, I’m guessing you do, which is a great sign.3.Does this property make sense as a long-term investment?

We never or seldom use signs on properties. and get the best quality apps from MLS, Zillow and CL in that order. 

I’m sure she would need to sign something for the loan.
