Parking in Jim Thorpe for Short Term Rental

John C.
Posted

I own a three bedroom row house on Broadway in the charming town of Jim Thorpe, PA, and I am looking to rent it out on a short-term basis. However, to comply with the town's regulations, I must provide parking options for my guests. Unfortunately, the property does not have on-site parking available. I had a leased parking spot before I purchased the house, unfortunately the lease agreement fell through.  

I am seeking a creative solution to this challenge by finding nearby neighbors who would be willing to lease their parking spaces to me on a monthly basis. I need to secure three such spots, all within a 15-minute walking distance from the property. As you can imagine, this task requires some ingenuity and resourcefulness.

I've tried posting on Facebook and Crgaislist, skip tracing neighbors and calling them, with no positive response. Any suggestions?  I know that I could have done better due diligence, I don't need to hear that.  I do own 100 other properties and am successful.  I just really want a property in Jim Thorpe and they don't come around often, so I decided to buy it and if necessary wait and rent it mid term until I figure parking out.   

Thanks in advance for any helpful ideas!

Knock on some doors.

Face to face will likely pay off better than anything else.
