Hello all, wanted to gauge the communities interest on attending a FREE real estate meetup in the Poconos. It would take place monthly in the Blakeslee/ Mount Pocono area. This meetup is not intended to sell anything only add value and exchange resources amongst those who are currently investing or looking to learn how to invest in real estate. Feel free to DM with any specific questions or just to connect.

Hey John, thanks for posting. I'd definitely be interested in something like this, I appreciate the initiative!
@Mark Miles, I know we've had this discussion before, but a lot of us have invested very successfully in the Poconos, and built a good community there. I don't really understand what value you think you're adding to the forums by relentlessly posting these kinds of messages. It certainly does not align with any of my experiences in the region.

Ha! This will just turn into a ventfest with everyone complaining about how they can’t find good cleaners, Handymen, Plumbers, roofers, lawncare, snow plow, electricians, etc etc etc.
And everyone complaining how they had to fire their last cleaners because cleaning crew members got in a huge fight in the front yard and started throwing things at each other…
And how they had to fire the cleaners before that because they showed up drunk…
And how they had to fire the cleaners before that because they never even showed up…

My pleasure @Scott Rankin, looking forward to bringing everyone together to speak about some of the challenges that @Mark Miles brought up along with all the terrific benefits of investing in smaller markets has to offer.
On that topic I completely agree with you Scott, @Mark Miles has done nothing but bad mouth the Pocono region for years now! I ultimately believe he comes from a scarcity mindset and does not want other investors in this market competing against him.

@John Geldert, I would be interested in a meet up in the Pocono’s, I also think a zoom option would be good. I am about 1.5 hours from Pocono’s with 2 short term rentals there.

Hi all, I'm going to be at the Tobyhanna Township STR discussion tomorrow (Wednesday 3/23) at 5p if anyone is interested in meeting up in person. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss their latest STR ordinance proposal.
It's at Kalahari, apparently because so many people showed up at the last board meeting to voice their displeasure with the proposal. Hope to see you there!

Hi Whitney, I tried to post the zoom info but BP removed it. Apparently it violates their rules somehow. If you click the link in the link below the zoom info is there. I hope that helps!

@James Maaba congrats on your recent long term rental purchase, East Stroudsburg is in high demand! I also own in Stroudsburg and throughout the Poconos, let me know if I can be of any help.
