SFH Rental Property with Pool??
Hi there,
New to this site and new to REI, so please let me know if this question should be posted in a different thread. I am looking at a home that has a pool. I have heard from a PM that it is not advised to go for a rental property that has a pool due to liability. However, we live in Tampa, FL area, so a pool is sometimes a perk (depending on the tenant I suppose). We actually would like to have this house as our living home once our son is school age because it is in the top rated school zone for the area. What we would like to do is stay in our current home (paid off completely) for a few more years and continue to save money, while we rent out this home. The small research I have done so far, says we should be able to rent the home for $200-$400 more than our mortgage. I obviously need to crunch some more numbers, but just curious if this pool is a deal breaker?
