I guess this will not be getting taken care of this week., lol…I couldn’t find any numbers from the last 3 to 6 months because none of the lots near this house have sold that had houses on them that needed to be torn down… so it’s nearly impossible to find the exact same situation, but I will call a realtor this week and see if they will run some numbers for me.

I always tell people to invest very carefully in Poconos, it is no longer the pre covid time where rental demand was higher than housing supply and house prices were cheap enough to make good money.If you have time and you can put in some effort, you can make it work, but you need to see if that battle is worth for you.i believe anywhere you take STR, if you will let a PM handle it, you will either no make much or will not make anything. 20% is a lot of money!
