Post: Thoughts on Pools For Long-term Rental

I would love to get some input. 

I purchased my personal property in 2020 for $300,000. Current resell value is $425,000-$450,000. My current monthly payments is roughly $1800-$1900 per month. I am thinking I could rent my home for around $3000 per month and possibly push it a little higher with the property having a pool and a fenced in acre. 

I am hesitant as every time I mention I may rent the property people tell me they wouldn’t due to the pool. Everyone is telling me the liability of the pool is to much for it to be worth it. I am wondering if anyone else has done this and if there are steps you can take to mitigate risk. 

The main reason I am wanting to keep the property is I have a cheap loan (roughly 3%) and its in a great market (high appreciation). 

Would love to hear others thoughts. Should I take the money and run? Rent? If rent, is there a way to mitigate risk for having a pool?

Greetings all, 

I am excited to say I have roughly 90% completed with the rehab of my first deal! (Waiting on flooring) Now that I have pulled the trigger I am ready to continue going. However, the issue I have found is getting a consistent deal flow. I have been doing my best to learn marketing tips/tricks to help find my next deal but have been struggling as I work full time as an appraiser and just had a newborn. 

While I am not asking how to do marketing or find deals, I am more curious of different strategies that work in my area. I am just looking to narrow my focus. 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
