Yes. Short-term rental homes are among the houses we buy as-is. Gather the approvals you received when you started renting: Jim Thorpe requires a borough license for short-term rentals, and its 2021 zoning amendment allows new ones only in certain districts by special exception. A buyer who wants to keep renting will ask what has been approved, and having that paperwork ready keeps the sale moving.
Yes. Borough code requires anyone 18 or older who moves out of Jim Thorpe to notify the borough at least 24 hours ahead and get a moving permit, and moving companies must confirm it was issued. You get the form at the borough office and certify that taxes and fees tied to the move, other than real estate taxes, are paid; the permit allows 15 days to move.

The Carbon County Register of Wills & Clerk of Orphans' Court handles probate when the owner lived in Carbon County, which includes Jim Thorpe. Pennsylvania law places probate in the county where the owner last lived, so if the owner lived in another Pennsylvania county, that county's Register of Wills handles it instead. If the owner lived outside Pennsylvania, the will can be probated in any Pennsylvania county where they owned property, including the county this home is in.
