Pool home and HOA & CDD homes

[Cintia Chicon]

What do you all feel about purchasing property with a pool? Is it worth the maintenance and all the extra costs? I'm in the process of purchasing my first property and initially it will be my primary residence. I plan to later rent it out or rehab and sell. Because of this, I'm not sure if filtering my search to pool homes is worth it in the long run. I've begun to wonder if my initial dislike towards properties with CDD & HOA fees would actually be a good idea considering they have community pools. What do you feel about purchasing property with CDD & HOA fees? Is it easy to re-sell or do you think people try and steer clear from purchasing homes with CDD & HOA? What are your thoughts on both?
