Does your tenant pool consist of multigenerational renters or are you targeting "young professionals" and graduate students?

But, a few callers asked me if they could pool their money together with some friends and family and get a property.

The only documentation I could pull from town records is something from the 1940s and it mentions a “cess pool”.

I need a new pool of clients and looking to expand my business to the next level.

But, these properties were in Texas where a pool is more valuable.1) How does the value of a property change with / without a pool (ask an appraiser). 

Sure you have a larger tenant pool in Chicago and have a tenant base more likely to meet 700+ but of course you run the risk of it sitting vacant longer. 

I'm assuming most of you are buying pools and have established relationships with sellers.  

@Joel Hutchinson Many of us buy individual but also buy "pools" buying with IRA has its perks as well. 

I mow my own grass and maintain my swimming pool because I enjoy it same as enjoy managing my rental portfolio.

We will be buying land in the area to build on and will only need to live in the house for a year (or less) ourselves - then we will put it back in the local rental pool, likely managing it ourselves at that point.
