But here's a rough idea of the basic steps involved and what it cost when I did it: STEPS:~ Drain the pool~ Remove pool equipment & cap off water lines~ Remove/cap off any unused electrical~ Knock down the edges around the pool and make holes in the bottom of the pool for drainage ~ Fill pool with "clean fill" material (i.e. soil, gravel, rock, sand, etc)~ Tamp the fill material as you put it in to compact it and reduce the chance of it settling over time once it's all fullCOSTS: (we did the labor ourselves so this is just for the material)~ $450 to buy a jackhammer to knock down the edges around the pool and also to make the holes in the bottom (we could have rented a jackhammer for cheaper but this way we own one and can use it on future jobs)~ $1600 for the fill dirt (it was a lot of dirt!)

If you are investing over a short time horizon, then those transaction costs may be material enough to sway things.But, if all else is equal, then you, along with many investors in similar situations, are probably going to find that SELLING (via a 1031 exchange most likely, but talk to your accountant, especially if you lived there the last few years) is the way to go.Why?
