Luke Carl sits down with Trysten to break down what actually makes a Pocono Mountains short-term rental succeed. They dive into how to pick the right sub-markets, why proximity to ski mountains and lakes matters more than most investors realize, and how design, amenities, and pricing discipline separate high-performing listings from underwhelming ones. The conversation also tackles today’s buyer-friendly market, common seller delusions left over from the COVID boom, and what realistic upside looks like at different budget levels.
