You shouldn't have any problems finding a regular renter willing to pay market rates. 

I know that that the concept is that I cash out and get the new property…however, since these are regular mortgage loans, how do I qualify for several properties on my salary?

I have been successful finding a handyman and cleaning lady on FB marketplace. 

Depending on the state laws, your tenant may not be able to get rid of his guest at a later date without going through an eviction -- would be good if he knows that ahead of time and has the tools available (ie guest being a subtenant, not a "regular" tenant). 

Screening prospective 'tenants' seems different only because you can have great credit, clean criminal and still be a slob and leave crap everywhere. 

I have been reading that hardwood is not great for kitchens (especially in rentals) because water can ruin hardwood floors, especially if spills/pee/etc. are not quickly cleaned up (a very possible scenario depending on the tenant).

Hey guys I was hoping for any suggestions or even to open up a conversation about STR cleaning companies in the Poconos.

In terms of management, usually these companies charge anywhere from 25-40% gross revenue for handling bookings, cleaning, website, pricing, repairs, etc.

I have contractors and cleaning services available area.

In the lease list contact options and give them an emergency contact to be used outside of regular hours in the event of an emergency (eg burst pipe).
