One person. Start to finish.

Mike Eichler — Poconos STR Realtor

I got into this business in 2021 the hard way — by managing short-term rentals and figuring out what works, and more importantly, what does not.

Five years later, I own multiple properties in the Poconos and help manage more than 70 rentals for other owners. That means I see this market from every angle: as a buyer, as a host, as an operator, and as a fellow owner who's signed the same closing docs you're about to.

Most clients work with me end-to-end. I help you find the right property, walk you through every step of the purchase, and then my team takes over the operation the day you close — listing setup, pricing, guest communication, cleanings, and the trusted local contractors who handle everything from a leaky faucet at 11pm to a full kitchen remodel.

No fluff. No "this is a great market" cliches. Just one person — and one network — handling the whole thing.

From offer to occupancy.

Most clients hire me for the whole journey — find a property, close on it, furnish it, list it, run it. Or pick the piece you actually need.

Step One · Buying

Finding the Property

I help you identify Poconos properties that fit short-term rental use — the right location, layout, amenities, and price point for the market you're entering.

  • Market & sub-market analysis by town
  • Property walkthroughs with an STR lens
  • Revenue modeling based on comparable rentals
  • Renovation & furnishing cost guidance
  • Connections to lenders and inspectors
Step Two · Managing

Running the Operation

The day you close, my team takes over. Listing, pricing, guests, cleaners, turnovers — handled. You get a property that runs without you.

  • Listing optimization & dynamic pricing
  • Guest communication & 24/7 support
  • Professional cleaning & turnovers
  • Restocking, inspections, owner reporting
  • Direct line to me whenever you need it
The Difference

Local Network

Five years in this market means relationships. Trusted local contractors on call so problems get solved fast — not next week.

  • Plumbers, electricians, HVAC
  • Handymen for the small stuff
  • Contractors for renovations & remodels
  • Cleaners, landscapers, snow removal
  • Pricing that comes from being a repeat client

I worked with Mike to buy a second home in the Poconos. He was very knowledgeable about the area and made the process very simple — and since I live a few hours away, we completed the entire thing remotely. Highly recommend him for anything in the Pocono area.

07 / FAQ

Questions, answered.

Why the Poconos?

Two hours from New York and Philadelphia, the Poconos pulls year-round demand — ski and snow tubing in winter, lakes and waterparks in summer, foliage in fall.

That seasonality mix is exactly what makes a well-run STR work here: there's always a reason to book. The key is buying in the right town at the right number — which is the part I help with.

Absolutely — most of my buyers do. I handle the boots-on-the-ground work: walkthroughs, vetting, closing, and then full management after. You can do the whole thing remotely.
It depends on the township and the community — some are very STR-friendly, others have restrictions. I steer you toward properties where short-term rental is allowed and demand is strong, so you're not buying into a problem.
It varies by property, price, and how it's run — but I underwrite every deal with conservative, comparable-based revenue numbers before you buy, so you go in with realistic expectations, not hype.
Management is a percentage of revenue, scoped to what your property needs. We'll walk through exact numbers on a call — it's straightforward and there are no surprise fees.
No. Most clients do because it's seamless, but you can hire me just to find and buy the property, or just to manage one you already own.
