Cable and Wifi Hookups: help!

[Kyara G.]

I'm just about finished a rehab in Baltimore, MD in the Fells Point/Butcher's Hill area (we have several rentals in Baltimore & Connecticut but this is first official flip). At at 430am, I realized we hadn't wired the house to be cable or Wi-Fi ready - the house was a complete gut with missing floors & roof...there definitely weren't cable outlets.

Are flippers pre-wiring their homes? If so, how? Are you just having the cable companies come out?

My house was wired for cable when build. The cable company did not want to use the existing wiring because they couldn't guarantee that everything was wired right and would work.  

While it certainly sounds like an appealing sale feature. I don't think it is as practical as some would think. Will cable outlets be where people want or need them for example.  The house already is WiFi ready. The point of wifi is to avoid the cables.
