Who here has experience in owning a short term rental around the Wallenpaupack area?

So yes, my experience with loan servicers has been the same.  

Require tenant to hold a liability policy to include damages caused by tenant. 8.

I would greatly appreciate any insights, advice, or experiences you can share that may lead to a viable solution.Thank you for your help!

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

I did look into classes but I am a hands on person and like the "experience is the best teacher" saying.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

All comments are valid, but a few things to consider here:First of all, I am not an attorney, so this is not a legal advice, only options based on my experience.-  Subject-to is not being accepted by any lender at the current rates. 

Proof of landlord liability policy (a must)!

Your contractor should have at minimum a weekly status update mandatory dictated by them. you need to make sure an in depth scope of work and evaluation is performed especially because you have little experience in evaluating these types of projects.
