re: Anyone built a pool? Looking for info on financing

You're gonna hear a lot of negative here because it isn't a great financial investment. I didn't want to build one for that reason but it worked out that we needed to move so I made sure I bought one with a pool already there so someone else took the biggest hit. That may not be an option for you. If you are going to use it, it will be worth it. HELOC will be best option for financing if you have any equity.
