ROI on generator?
Hello, I am in the process of rehabbing a home in CT to flip. The basement of the house has a sump pump that is always filled with water and runs about four times a day. To fix this I hired CT basement systems to install a warrantied system that will guarantee a dry basement and this transfers to the next owner as well. The warranty does not cover the pump not running if the power goes out which has led to the idea of installing a propane generator. It does not fit in the budget to get the generator but will 100% eliminate any second thoughts the potential buyer might have of the basement system. This is a semi rural home and power outages are not uncommon in the area.
Is there a descent ROI on installing a generator in a flip?
