Are pools a nightmare for rental property?
The area that I live in gets quite hot in the summer...we're talking over 105 for several weeks. Part of our investment plan includes us buying a SFR, that we will live in for 2-3 years, and either rent out or sell at the end of that time. My question is...how much of a burden is it to rent a place with a pool? I'm sure there is extra insurance involved, not to mention the maintainance. Of course my family would LOVE to enjoy a pool in our backyard for a couple years...I'm wondering if it will be worth the trouble down the road.

In the real estate world pools are called an "attractive nuisance" for a reason.
