So it will barely cashflow or break even. 

Then they will also be unprofitable and they will sell them, it is a vicious cycle and there’s simply too many STR‘s in the Poconos right now, the demand isn’t there and basically no one is making any profits off STR right now in the Poconos, they’re basically all losing money month over month on STREven right now in peak Summer season, most of my friends places are barely booked: they have low occupancy rates, and when they are booked, it’s only because they had to lower their prices extremely low like $100 per night.

I just wanted to know some issues you guys faced when you first started and any advice I should know or be prepared for.

I only drive on the interstate when I can use my peach pass or you will sit in traffic for hours barely moving.Lots of CA and NY buyers moving away from political views and government changes they do not believe in.

Couple that with an interest-only note to lighten the immediate-term financial burden of the investment, we are really looking at an interesting long-term phenomenon.Now if we are to layer in a light "face-lift" into the equation, we could walk into 10-20%+ equity out of the gate.

Because if just a few, it get's even weirder why they wouldn't just have on-staff PM and maint. mgr..  2 properties mate No bloody idea and they should definitely self manage.I’ve always said that “anyone” can find, buy and rehab.Not many can property manage well and manage well long term.Plus, folks like having someone else to blame like a property management company.Makes their failure easier to bare haha So that’s another reason maybe why they want a PM…Maybe they are reading this thread and will head the advice from folks like yourself mate Thanks for your replies and I’ll reply back to your other encyclopedia comment in a bit haha 

That's considerable for me because I understand the obstacles different demographics face in this country.

However, if you take that writing on its face, as written (perhaps intentionally,) you *may* (I’ll explain below) be overdoing it, as that “7 days” part is actually directed to a tenant reading it - nowhere I am aware of, in GA, is it mandated that the Notice has to give the tenant 7 days.

I guess the bigger question is, does the income on Property 2 look enticing enough to keep barely breaking even in hopes of the day we can refinance it favorably?
