Pool in flip house - fix or demo/fill?

[Account Closed]

I’m flipping a house in New Jersey, built in 1983, 4 beds 2.5 baths, and it has a pool. The concrete pool hasn’t been used in years. Tile is peeling, walls have missing paint, deck around pool is uneven. Should I demolish it or repair it?

I would fill the pool for a flip.  Most buyers do not want to deal with a pool which means they don't want to buy a house with one.  When you are flipping you want to cater to the masses and get as many buyers to like the house.  Nothing extreme.  Selling Vanilla is better than trying to sell mint chocolate mojito with lime.
