investing in houses with pools
Is investing in a house that has a pool a good idea

2 things...
1. I've heard on multiple podcasts real estate investors that have far more experience than I do that one of their criteria is to never buy and rent out a house with a pool.
2. My girlfriend rents a house with a pool and it is constantly a problem and a point of contention with the landlord. The pool maintenance people are there constantly trying to figure it out problems with it. The landlord pays for all of that.
Actually one more thing. If you are flipping a house and don't plan on holding it as a rental that could be a different story. A pool would be attractive to a buyer who is going to live in it as their home.
