How to include pool in the rent

[Travis Fairbairn]

I'm looking at purchasing a rental property South of Dallas, in Desoto. This SFR has an in ground pool in the backyard. It's going to cost 100-150 a month to maintain it. How would you account for this in the rent? Options:

1. Raise the rent slightly higher than comps to account for a pool which others won’t have

2. Standard rent with a 150 a month pool maintenance feee tacked onto rent

3. Try to educate the renter and set the expectation they will maintain

4. Expect to just eat the cost of a pool

Thoughts?
