💰 $95K+ T-12 Revenue at a Sub-$400K Price
Here's a revenue-to-price combination that immediately jumps out.
This active, fully permitted 5-bedroom STR generated more than $95,000 in trailing-12-month gross revenue and is asking just $399,000.
That works out to approximately:
23.8%+ Gross Revenue-to-Price Ratio
Or roughly 4.2x trailing gross revenue.
And unlike a property that needs to be built out from scratch, this one is fully furnished, heavily booked and already equipped with the core amenities guests want, including a game room, hot tub and fire pit setup.
🏡 The Asset + Investment Story
1042 Country Place Dr, Tobyhanna, PA 18466
💰 Price: $399,000
💵 T-12 Gross Revenue: $95,000+
📊 Gross Revenue / Price: ~23.8%+
🔢 Price / T-12 Gross Revenue: ~4.2x
🛏️ 5 Bedrooms
🚿 2 Bathrooms
📐 2,296 Sq Ft
🔑 Active + Fully Permitted STR
🛋️ Fully Furnished
🎮 Large Game Room
♨️ Covered Hot Tub Area
🔥 Fire Pit + Built-In Swing Seating
🏡 Raised-Chalet Design
❄️ Ductless Mini-Split Heating + Cooling
🏖️ Near Lake Carobeth + Community Amenities
The numbers are the main story: $95K+ of trailing gross revenue against a $399K asking price creates a revenue-to-price ratio approaching 24%.
And this isn't theoretical revenue. According to the listing, the property has been a heavily booked STR for several years, giving a buyer an existing operating history rather than a brand-new rental projection.
🎮 Built Around the STR Guest Experience
The raised-chalet layout gives the property two distinct gathering areas.
Upstairs, the main living space has vaulted ceilings, skylights and exposed beams, creating the classic vacation-home feel guests expect.
Downstairs, the finished walkout basement adds a large game room plus two spacious bedrooms.
Outside, there's a dedicated fire pit area with elevated built-in swing seating, a separate covered hot tub zone, expansive decking and usable yard space.
It's an amenity package that's already proven capable of attracting bookings.
📈 Potential to Refresh + Push Revenue Higher
The property is already generating $95K+ on a trailing-12-month basis, but the listing specifically notes that a new owner may want to make some updates and refreshes after purchase.
That creates an interesting investment angle: buy an STR that's already producing significant revenue, then evaluate whether targeted design and amenity improvements could increase ADR and future bookings.
There's no need to underwrite that upside for the existing numbers to be interesting—the historical performance already exists.
🏔️ Surrounded by Poconos Demand Drivers
The property is near Lake Carobeth, including community beach access, a pool and sports courts.
It's also within driving distance of several major Poconos attractions, including Kalahari Indoor Water Park & Convention Center, Camelback Mountain Resort and Mount Airy Casino.
That gives guests multiple reasons to visit across different seasons rather than relying on a single attraction.
💸 Financing
With a $399K asking price and $95K+ in trailing-12-month gross revenue, this is the type of established STR where historical rental performance may be particularly useful when exploring financing.
Depending on the borrower, property and lender requirements, potential structures can include DSCR, conventional investment, portfolio and other STR-focused financing options.
If you're trying to determine what your down payment could look like, whether the property's historical rental revenue can help it qualify, or which loan structure makes the most sense for your situation, our STR lending partner can help walk you through the options.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out
💰 $95K+ T-12 Gross Revenue — actual trailing performance rather than a future projection.
📊 ~23.8%+ Gross Revenue-to-Price Ratio — unusually strong relative to the $399K asking price.
🔑 Active + Fully Permitted — already operating as a 5-bedroom STR.
🎮 STR Amenities Already Built — game room, covered hot tub, fire pit, built-in swings and extensive decking.
🛋️ Fully Furnished — positioned as a turnkey acquisition.
🏔️ Multiple Demand Drivers — near Kalahari, Camelback, Mount Airy Casino and community lake amenities.
⚡ Bottom Line
$399K. $95K+ T-12 Revenue. ~23.8% Gross Rental Yield. 5 Bedrooms. Hot Tub. Game Room. Fully Permitted.
At this price point, the revenue is hard to ignore.
You're looking at a sub-$400K property that generated more than $95K in trailing-12-month gross revenue, has already been operating successfully for years, and comes fully furnished with an active STR permit.
The hot tub, game room, fire pit setup, chalet-style living space and proximity to major Poconos attractions give it the guest-facing pieces that helped produce that track record.
And with the listing suggesting there's still room for a new owner to refresh the property, there's potential upside to explore on top of an already compelling existing revenue base.
