I'm in the process of looking for a STR/second home property in the Poconos and was wondering if amenity filled communities are a must from an income producing perspective?

Americans are shifting their priorities when it comes to where they want to call home amid sky-high housing prices, and that revelation played a role in a Southern city dethroning a Rocky Mountain destination as the top spot in the nation to live according to a new report. 

*on the MLS*There were a few other little tips/tricks/insight we use for ourselves and our clients on stuff like this and I feel like i could write another 1,000 characters on the "perspective" of just this one deal...but i'm aware we've crossed the threshold of "too long".Most of my deals are traditional, light sweat equity buy and holds.

A 3rd floor balcony is nothing to take lightly, from a safety perspective.

You could've asked that question live and gotten some great perspective from a few good folks there!

For me I don't think it would fit my business model from a time perspective.

I also own (and self-manage) a couple of my own multifamily homes (mostly on the east side of Providence) so am very familiar with the market from an investor's perspective.

The chart is outstanding and helps put our market into the proper perspective.  

I know themeforest.com has some themes but I'd love your perspectives!

Have you pulled back the reigns, or shifted your focus to other markets?
