That's why I would never buy too far out of state where I can't drive by if I need to but that's my perspective.

Can you help me understand what expenses would drive that number up?

#2 Lake Naomi/Timber Trails - Pocono PinesNo other community on the list yet can compete with the ambiance and feel of a drive in Lake Naomi.

Asking if it's a "good" or "bad" time to buy is like JFK asking if this is a good day for a drive. 

Heck, I don’t even enjoy driving, would much rather have a chauffeur 🤩 But if he does and can make a fortune doing it, then cheers to him and that business.  

If you can find local deals (within 2 hours of where you live) that make sense, they can be gold mines. 2 hours seems to be the max that most people would drive if you HAD to do your own showings or move-in prep and local management proves unreliable.

What it will do is drive a lot of part-time agents out of business who slipped into a buyer agent role by simply being there at a showing.

I have had several friends suggest that it would be wiser to start off with rentals within driving distance of where I live. 

We talked about this: AirBNB's Fall Report, How one UK STR has a 2-year waitlist, and more in this week's edition of BiggerStays, the weekly BiggerPockets short-term rental newsletter.
