This wild ride underscores the power of relentless follow-up and the hidden gold in every lead.

The lake was nice at Stillwater - we would ride snowmobiles on it when it would freeze solid - and Pocono Farms had a golf course that we would hunt golf balls on - but a lot of the houses were in sad states of disrepair, which is why we lived there - they were cheap. 

I own rental properties in one city and two of them had insurance claims in the last 2 years due to hail and tree damage.

I bought one courthouse step deal in Philly and that was quite the ride.. its a locals market for SURE..

While its great that I'm no longer a Home365 customer and got out a few weeks early, it wasn't a smooth ride.

I went to Penn State and location is certianly important but as long as you are a bus ride away, you will always find students to rent to at great rates, also I found that Graduate students tend to want to live further away, which of course means lower rents, but it also means that you have cheaper prices and graduate students tend to be a bit more tidy. 

I would just try to enjoy the ride and learn as much as you can along the way. 

However Property tax's some of the lowest in the coutnry and property maintenance same thing if you buy a stucco home with a tile roof.No real major weather threats like many markets  IE hail storms wind storms etc.. can get windy but thats common.. 

Suddenly, sites like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube became my trusted surfboards, allowing me to ride the digital waves and connect with a large network of other investors.

You will be so glad you didn’t sell if you can ride it out a few more years.
