I know pools are a must have amenity to compete in many markets and I have to admit that I'm a bit hesitant to enter those markets due to the potential liability risk.

For example, here in Columbus Ohio, you have amazing macros (population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here like Intel headquarters, Amazon, FB, Google, Nationwide, and recently Anduril AND you can still find positive cash flow and the 1% rule here PLUS there's AMAZING appreciation potential.2.

You could potentially negotiate this by structuring it in a way that aligns with the seller's need for a quick settlement, without lowering the cash they’d receive.

I'm new to real estate investing, but have thrown myself into learning as much as I can by joining a Veteran based investment community, have been working with my realtor and looking daily for potential multi family properties in the Dallas area for house hacking, which I've set myself an deadline to be completed by May.
