As a local team lead focused on investment real estate, we often start by analyzing comparable properties and historical data to get a baseline for expenses.

Definitely that was money making time in terms of operations and appreciation as well.Things have changed now, there is so many STRs now that people are renting for 100-150 USD a night which is like a motel price.Now it may make sense from the perspective of, if Poconos is where you travel a lot with family or you are buying full cash to park the money, or tax strategy or various other personal reasons could be there where it might make sense to invest there.But coming in from the perspective of an investor who are new or have little experience and are trying to build wealth from not too heavy asset portfolio.

I am not in the position to begin investing yet, but I am working on rental analyses until I have the capitol.

Ive been investing in DC for 15 years and never heard of them.

My options usually include the all cash/quick close to flip myself, listing it (as an agent) but also offering the seller to do a JV flip together, I could wholesale it, offer to buy it myself for a BRRRR or other long term personal investment, etc. 

Not entirely sure what avenue of real estate investing I want to take yet so I've been reading lots of books on the different strategies.

Im new to real estate investing and have a question concerning my first property.

My lender advised me to run my investing business as an LLC, keep the property in my name, and then put both the property and the LLC in a trust.

You may want to also circulate this opportunity in your local real estate investment group.

It's an investment property.
