@Joseph M.Yes of course,My hard money lender for my earnest money deposit passed away from cancer last night.

Definitely that was money making time in terms of operations and appreciation as well.Things have changed now, there is so many STRs now that people are renting for 100-150 USD a night which is like a motel price.Now it may make sense from the perspective of, if Poconos is where you travel a lot with family or you are buying full cash to park the money, or tax strategy or various other personal reasons could be there where it might make sense to invest there.But coming in from the perspective of an investor who are new or have little experience and are trying to build wealth from not too heavy asset portfolio.

Since this is a STR Conference in a mountain vacation rental market, we do hope any out of town visitors will stay in rental home, but for those who want to come to the Poconos STR Conference and stay in the host Camelback Resort Hotel, their rate is $159/night (plus tax and resort fee; $215.70 inclusive) with self-parking waived.

You will almost always see a higher nightly rate on Airbnb than on Furnished Finder so I recommend you use both sources to price your property.

I had a guest who somehow was able to "book" my place on airbnb and then get my check in email instructions for their one night stay.

Ill send you a DM :)Are you finding that the Tampa STRs are doing well even with the 7 night minimum ordinance?  

What are their nightly rates?

Nightly rates up and running at very low vacancy had a few months over 90% even where any little gaps get filled.

The package includes:- 3 nights at a 5-star, all-inclusive resort - All food and drink- Access to 3 keynotes and 60+ speakers and breakout sessions and guided networking - 3 evening events - Networking breakfast x2 and Networking lunch x2- Access to the exhibit hall, and more! 

I'm assuming you're considering hosting travel nurses or maybe corporate housing that exceeds 30 days and intend to leave it fully furnished & charge nightly rates similar to STR?
