With a buy and hold strategy, and trying to look at potential deals as being more or less likely to be successful, I am wondering how this situation may or should affect my analysis.Does this materially increase the likelihood of falling or stagnant rent and property values for the mom and pop units?

I would like to get a building by fall so I want to have my downpayment figured out before then.

I would not buy a rental with a pool unless you were in Vegas PHX  those type of areas.and I would pay for a pool service your self if you do buy one with a pool.. they are liabilities both functionally and a accident waiting to happen.. someone drunk diving into the shallow end and getting hurt... kid falling in and getting hurt etc.you won't get any more rent for themGhetto   NUFF said about that..

I have done it and just wait for it to fall off if it against the seller and not the property.

I will be attending a top school this upcoming fall, and planning on studying Business Administration.
