Single family rental unit with a pool

[Dylan Watts]

Can anyone give me some advice pros/cons on having a single family unit with a pool as a rental unit.

Any major headaches that come with that?

I've had a couple of SF rentals with pools.  Here are my recommendations:

1) Check with your insurance broker first.  Most won't insure pools with diving boards or ones without a VGBA drain.

2) Include the cost of a pool company to manage the pool in the rent.  If the tenants don't care for the pool properly, it could cost you thousands to fix.
