IMHO I think the draw to the Poconos is it's proximity to two monster metropolitan markets and their middle and professional class who may prefer in many cases to tone it down from places like Miami, Hawaii, Vail, or Stowe, and instead have the luxury of a 1.5-2 hour car trip to somewhere where they will save on airfare, get a good deal on their accommodations, and still have loads of fun with their families without having to deal with exorbitant vacation costs and aggravating travel arrangements. 

Is that how you would choose to spend your weekends and travel time?

As a traveler if I saw 4.85 I would be satisfied and move on. 

Not really an amazing deal, but if you like the house and have confidence in the area's growth it sounds like a good bet.

So imagine if your mortgage payment was 1/2 how much more confident you’d be.

Act with confidence/authority, do the paperwork, and get on with it.  

Outside of real estate, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, and boating.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

The Flip Secret gave me the confidence and motivation to go.

This is easy to see in earnings reports for credit card companies (that continue to blow out earnings, with travel as their lead category), hotel companies, and Airbnb itself.I think a lot of it is just going overseas now as international travel continues to strengthen. 

Closing up holes is part of preventing them from coming back in and also preventing them from traveling throughout the house.
