Property Managers (Licensed)

Professional property managers take much of the worry of the worry away. Often they will say that they will increase your net income through their experience and advanced tools. The best charge 25% to 30% for full-service, while others have modified service packages, so it is worth considering. Pennsylvania considers property management a real estate activity, so full service managers will have a real estate broker’s license. People just focused on STR guest relations (co-hosts) may operate without a license.

Crawl Space, Basement, Foundations, Mold Remediation

Many Pocono homes are built on a crawl space, not a full basement as the foundation. The Poconos generally have a high water table and that means wet crawlspaces are common. Prolonged wetness can lead to wood rot/deterioration and bring mold. Treating, repairing and solving the problem is such a part of Pocono real estate that we list some of these service providers, just in case.

Most homes in the Poconos have their own private sewer, septic system. Service companies come to clean these and for a rental property, you should consider a once a year service. A pumping of the system costs around $400, a new system costs around $40,000 so service it yearly!
