I usually head to the house once a quarter to check up on things and fix anything that might need to be repaired (and of course have some fun up there).

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. 

Should be fun watching it play out.

It will be fun, we'll have drinks and meet at a local vacation rental-this is a great way to learn more if you are interested in this type of investment.  

Much less transactional, but more lucrative and fun long term 

Moving the numbers to make the deal work does not make for a fun investment trust me.

If you have competitors, you made a bad purchase.A "get to know you" party is lots of fun, but I don't think such has any strategic importance to you.

Oregon has been a fun state to invest.

Replacing hvac during an inopportune time with a tenant is most likely not going to be fun, so I would get it done now

(Also, I got to practice removing asbestos in the containment suits and breathers and that is *NOT* a fun job.)
