Penn Lake Park is a small and picturesque residential haven that is clandestinely located between White Haven and Bear Creek, PA, in the Pocono Mountains. Penn Lake Park has been in existence since 1938, mostly as a summer vacation community, but has increasingly become the place to live year round. There are always plenty of things to do. Swimming, boating or fishing, and if that's not enough you can always get a workout on the tennis and basketball courts, or simply biking around the lake.

In 1974, Penn Lake Park was incorporated and became a borough with its own Mayor and Council governing body. Although there are no churches, stores or industry within Penn Lake Park, all are easily accessible by driving a short distance either to White Haven or Bear Creek.

Tainted Drywall

Around 2004 several factors led to the purchasing of drywall that was not manufactured in this country. The building surge in the early part of this decade along with the devastation from hurricanes the like of Katrina led to shortages of drywall manufactured here. The result was thousands of new homes built with drywall imported from China and other countries that did not meet our standards. Several homeowners immediately noticed a foul sulfur smell in their homes along with discoloration of any metal components in their home (air conditioners, etc). The result was metal corroding gases in the drywall were effecting the components of the home along with the residents' health with respiratory issues. Many people believe that this problem is isolated to states like Florida. This is not the case as it has been found as north as Ohio. Please take precautions when building or remodeling.

Seller Inspections

Seller inspections (sometimes referred to as pre-listing inspections) are becoming more popular because they virtually eliminate all the pitfalls and hassles associated with waiting to do the inspections until a buyer is found. In many ways, waiting to schedule inspections until after a home goes under agreement, is too late. Seller inspections are arranged and paid for by the seller, usually just before the home goes on the market. The seller is my client. I work for the seller and generate a report for the seller. The seller then typically makes multiple copies of the report and shares them with potential buyers that tour the home for sale. Seller inspections are a benefit to all parties in a real estate transaction. It also is a valuable marketing tool for anyone that is looking for an edge in this competitive and oversaturated market. Whether the client would like a report or a basic walkthrough, seller inspections are a diversified tool that will set your listing apart from the rest!

Well there just aren't too many deals left in town , now are there? In tough times the last thing a buyer needs is a bunch of credit card bills. It is far better to use a little imagination and fore thought and remodel repair and rehabilitate at purchase. Get some new carpet, fix the plumbing, make this house your home. This is onw of HUD's better Ideas.
