If you’re building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on your property and adding a pool, can you write it off? The answer depends on how it’s used:
• If the pool is used only by the ADU tenants, you can write off 100% of the cost through depreciation.
• If you and the tenants share it, you can only write off a portion (often around 50%).
• The type of rental matters — short-term vs. long-term vs. self-rental — because it determines whether those deductions offset your other income or stay “trapped” until you sell the property.
Bottom line: You’ll likely get tax-free rental income, but the full write-off depends on your setup and real estate status.
