In your opinion, what digital free resources (e-book, guides, reports, etc.) would a landlord appreciate from a service provider?

Nearby Attractions - for example there is a cluster with a Casino, Waterparks, Outlets and skiing all within about 15 minutes.Your price range will definitely work for the Poconos areas, just depends on what you're looking for.

We have thought about going to a digital key pad but are not sure about batteries dying and the fact we would still need to catalog all the keys to these pads.There are so many factors I am hoping to gain helpful insight from some of you who may have already solved this issue.Thanks!

Many of the cities on your list are in the Southeast, which is perfect if you want to bet on appreciation but not that great if you want a steady cash flow, if your goal is to generate some passive income target the midwest, and stick to solid suburban B areas, don't make the same mistake as many other OOS investors did chasing high double-digit returns in C-D areas, these returns only exist on paper.

It's all a gamble but I like my odds in real-estate and not with the casino. 

Your first impression with a buyer is now digital and a great visual representation is crucial to marketing your property.
