House with a pool rental

[Jose Jimenez]

Hello all! I am currently in El Paso, TX. I will be moving in about 1.5 year and would like to buy at least 1 or two more properties before then. I am in the process of trying to locate a single family home right now to move into and rent out the one  I am currently living in. My question is, is it worth it to invest in a house with a pool, move into into it for a year or so then rent it our when I leave the area? I just don't have any experience with maintenance of how much of a headache it will become if ever with renters. Thank you all for your time!

I don't love rentals with pools for many reasons.  There is additional risk (like getting hurt of someone drowning, etc), there is additional maintenance, etc. I don't think the additional rent is proportional to the headaches and risk.
