I live in a fourth floor apartment and wondered if the front door is the door I use to enter and leave my apartment. The door to the building. Or my Balcony door that faces the outside. I have a swimming pool across the street that my balcony door faces. I don't know if this is a good thing or not.

Dear Lisa,
This is the " tricky " part in Feng Shui.
Under the Compass School of Feng Shui especially the Flying Star theory, the traditional method is to find or locate the `exact' compass degree of the main entrance.
Once you have determined the exact compass degree, you then relate it to the `birth date' of the house or if a major renovation has been done, relate it to this.
Next, a chart based on the `birth date' of the house and the direction of the main entrance door is drawn based on Flying Star calculations.
You will notice that the above is the first step.
Once all the flying stars have plotted, next you analyse the house based on the locations and any water positions.
Hope you understand that everything is not done `suddenly'. You have to piece the jig-saw at every stage.
The above is based on Feng Shui analysis using the Flying star and later analysing the Shapes and Form.
-- From another angle --
If you are not utilizing the combination of Flying Star and Shapes and Form,
Here, you need to determine the frontage of the house. Once the frontage is determined, check to see if the water position is in front and not the back of the house.
Under the second `method' you then apply the Four Symbolic Animals concept ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
