To restore pool or fill it in

[Najeh Davenport]

I recently purchased an investment property in Montgomery, AL—a 5-bedroom property close to a major hospital in the area. It has an inground pool that I was initially set on filling in. However, lately, I've been researching co-living and short-term rentals, and I believe the property would be more attractive with a restored pool. Considering I'm over 6 hours away, I will likely need to invest in a pool maintenance service to clean the pool weekly. Do you have any solutions or similar issues you've faced, and how did you resolve them?

Also contact your insurer and ask about the cost to insure the pool as a rental. This could get expensive.
