I self manage 5 vacation rentals remotely.

Vacation rentals are obviously more management intensive and thus more expensive if you're using a local management company. 

I am evaluating purchasing a vacation/investment property in the Poconos in East Stroudsburg PA. 

We enjoyed the process so we are thinking to start out flipping and then, once we have some cash reserves built up, start buying long term rentals.Our goal is to be full time and able to focus on our family in 10 years.

The lease states that tenant shall vacate premises on termination of the agreement unless;1) landlord and tenant have extended this agreement in writing or signed a new agreement; 2) mandated by local rent control law; or 3) landlord accepts rent from tenant, in which case a month to month tenancy shall be created which either party may terminate as specified in paragraph 2a2a states either party may terminate in writing with 30 says notice (paraphrased)Last May the tenant and I signed an agreement, rent increased 12.5% and the main verbiage is:Specifically, the Parties agree to extend the Lease as per Provision 2A/B “Month to month & Lease” The extension to run month to month beginning October 1, 2018 at a monthly rent of $XXXX and requires a 60 day notice on the part of either tenant or landlord in order to terminate the agreement.

The tenants vacated my property and did not pay the last month rent.

I enjoy it and I've picked up several properties this way (an 8plex and a duplex I currently own). 

I've noted several on the meetup site and would be interested in any reviews.Currently on Maui vacation and looking forward to collaborating with others on BP!

So I have a property in Huntsville, AL that we lived in for a while and really enjoyed.

I enjoy flipping different items (computers, cameras, shoes, tickets to name a few) and providing drone services as a way to earn some extra income.I have little to no experience in real estate but after digesting many podcasts (how I heard of bigger pockets) and books post-graduation I definitely think it is something I need to learn about to start building wealth long-term.
