That said, stock pools are inexpensive but I'm not sure they are anything more than visual candy for your listing - and perhaps more hassle and most adults won't look at that anything like a hot tub experience. 

You sometimes go into the blind off of visual inspection alone because it's a good enough deal to absorb those types of costs. 

Constructing an IRR timeline on both options using the timeframe you decide on will help you visualize the better yielding investment.

@Craig LesslerYou should work with your tax pro to determine the proper treatment. 

Understand what other development requirements are for the residential units, for example, each unit may require an advanced treatment septic system (if not connected to sewer already.

Home buyers are very easily visually influenced.

If it is a normal 70/30 leveraged property, you may end up subject to tax on 70% of your returns anyways - so cost benefit, is that 30% tax free portion worth the high tax rates paid and additional filing fees to get tax free treatment on the 30%?
