TT C6 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 I have always done shore houses (Avalon, NJ) and Pocono houses (Big Boulder/Towamensing Trails) in the past and I'd like to do the same this winter. Most of the people that I did my Pocono house with are buying or bought their first homes this year, so they are out this season. I was hoping to join someone else's group rental, or put a new group together myself. Any feedback or info would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote
TT C6 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Almost a month, and no responses? I can do hotel rooms again this year, but I thought a group house with other local riders/skiers that can be used any time would be more fun and convenient. Edited November 5, 2007 by TT C6 Quote
TT C6 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) The last ski house I put together only cost each of us $300 for the ENTIRE SEASON !!!!! Edited November 5, 2007 by TT C6 Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 The last ski house I put together only cost each of us $300 for the ENTIRE SEASON !!!!! Last one I put together was $1,000 for the entire season, but there where only 5 of us in on the deal. In earlier years when I had the energy to arrange a group, we did it for about $400 a person. It's a pain in the ass collecting money from everyone. I think I'm still owed on a summer house in the late 90's from some of my college friends. Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 need some more details. what are you looking at and how many people? Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 need some more details. what are you looking at and how many people? You still have the place at CB? Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Why so cheap..were there like 40 people??? When I had a place for $400 each we had 13 people in on the deal...it worked out, because there were never more than 9 of us there at a time. Some people payed and never used it once from Dec. 1st to April 1st. Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 You still have the place at CB? It's for sale. Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 It's for sale. Whose idea was it to buy at the top of the market and then sell it years later at a loss? Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Whose idea was it to buy at the top of the market and then sell it years later at a loss? what kind of question is that? oh I know, it's an ignorant baiting question, I get it. Quote
Glenn Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 what kind of question is that? oh I know, it's an ignorant baiting question, I get it. I would agree except... Pocono has a pretty long history on this board of not trolling. Why would he offer up this as a troll now? Quote
poconoceancity Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 what kind of question is that? oh I know, it's an ignorant baiting question, I get it. Sorry if it appeared like that...In all seriousness you seem like someone who is very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. Are you looking to buy near BB. Quote
TT C6 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Posted November 7, 2007 10 of us did a group rental a few years ago in Towamensing Trails and it ended up being about $300 each. It was rare for more than 2 of us to be there at the same time. Everyone did come for New Year's Eve because we all made a point to spend New Years together. I am just one guy who wants to have a place to sleep near Big Boulder when I want to ride 2 days in a row. I'd prefer to just buy a share in a group rental that was already set up. But, if we can get a few people together on here, I will try to locate a house for the season. Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Sorry if it appeared like that...In all seriousness you seem like someone who is very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. Are you looking to buy near BB. apology accepted. the appraisal appreciated 50k, less fees and negative ammoritization plus discount will probably break even - there is a new builder up there now and prices have gone up and yes, the market has gone down. Would like to stick it out until the new hotel is open, but it has out lived its usefulness. we travel too much now and it is a drain not a convienance anymore. fully furnished at $325 at the top of the hill views of the slopes backing up to protected woodlands. The beach house and personal residence is also for sale. I probably will keep the beach house and rent it out this upcoming season. Quote
Glenn Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 So if I'm not prying too much, do you simply plan to rent/stay in hotels until you are ready to make the big move, or is the big move imminent? Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 So if I'm not prying too much, do you simply plan to rent/stay in hotels until you are ready to make the big move, or is the big move imminent? its actually a lot cheaper to live in a hotel than pay a mortgage and associated utilities. yeah the big move! still a pipe dream.

Glenn Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 its actually a lot cheaper to live in a hotel than pay a mortgage and associated utilities. yeah the big move! still a pipe dream. I guess it depends on the hotel and the mortgage. Quote
TT C6 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Posted November 7, 2007 I know it's obvious, but you guys know I'm talking about putting together a group Rental. I'm not talking about buying a place. Quote
TT C6 Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Posted November 9, 2007 Someone recommended I try here as well. Here's the link: Anyone interested in a group rental ski house ofr the 07/08 season? Quote
TT C6 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Posted November 25, 2007 to the top. Does anyone have a share they can sell me in a seasonal rental? Anyone have a room to rent for the season? I have good references and have ridden with PASR members. If I can't get enoguht people together to rent a house of our own for the season. I'm going to have to do hotel rooms again. =( Quote
Barb Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 Check out Craigslist... http://poconos.craigslist.org/roo/ I really don't think any PASRs do a Pocono rental because most just do day trips up there since we mostly live within an hour or two drive. Maybe you can get on Barbs good side and offer baby-sitting/housecleaning services in exchange for a couch to crash on...I know she has a house by Boulder and is up there every other weekend or so...Good Luck.. haha I only rent to people I know WELL.

poconoceancity Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 What do you expect to pay for access to a house all season long, again? Are you renting out a room at your CB place? Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 Are you renting out a room at your CB place? Renting a room while we are there is one thing. Giving keys to an entire house for access to a room when we aren't there much is another. Quote
