Swimming Pool Issue

Friday, September 26th, 2008

The search continues for a new investment house. As soon as my wife and I identify & purchase our next fixer-upper, we will move into it and rent out the one we are in now.

A lingering question related to our present house that we haven’t resolved yet is, what do we do with the swimming pool in the back yard? When we bought the house, the pool had already been installed, but it was missing a pump, it doesn’t have a guard fence, and it probably needs to be painted. We have put off the decision of what to do with the pool until last.

Initially, the plan was fix the pool and sell the house. Now that it will become a rental, the question arises “what if a tenant falls in the pool and drowns?”. Wouldn’t it be better to just put a cover over it and not fill it with water? My inclination is the later.

Watch this space for further developments . . .
