Sin City REIA is good as well but inconsistent where do you hold the DRRE  meetings and how frequently and what days and times ? 

Allocate 1-2% of the property's value for annual repairs and 5-10% for a capital expenditures (capex) reserve fund covering major, less frequent repairs.

In my opinion, it’s really the only way to stay up-to-date on all the ever-changing laws in this state (they’ll send you frequent emails on any pending/new legislation affecting landlords).They also have webinars, guides, podcasts, etc to help you understand the laws.

We have frequently used this method:  owner occupying a fixer, and doing it up over time…then get a refinance on it, and stay for the time required by the lender, usually a year.  

Frequently, they will even keep their voucher (which is crazy). 

I can't imagine turning a reasonable profit if we had to spend another ~$1200 a year painting each home and even more to replace the carpets frequently.

Congrats - despite the shaky market and sometimes hyperbolic headlines, STR investors that frequent BP and locked in 3% fixed rates on their STRs in 2021 are sitting pretty!

Start frequenting local REIA's I suppose?

Because the poconos is a huge region, it's frequently lumped together and overall people will tell you to stay away.The issue is overpaying for the deals in this area, especially since everyone is hiking up prices right now.

However you find one, when you find a good home inspector, hang onto him if you're a frequent buyer.
