Well I'm looking at a few IP house in Cairns and several have pools. I've never owned a pool before but 5mins of research tells me they can be a lot of work and money and therefore may just be a PITA. This is baring in mind the IP's I'm looking at are at the lower-mid range of the money scale.
I suppose I would welcome people's view on whether they might be an ok idea for an IP in tropical places like Cairns where summer is hot hot hot or are they still a bad idea. Has anyone had an previous experiences with them in far north QLD (good or bad)?
The bad things I have read (which may or may not be correct) include landlord needs to pay for regular service of hoses, pumps and filters and a yearly safety inspection. Good thing is, well, its Cairns and when it is that hot, everyone loves a pool!
