Need advice on in ground jacuzzi
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a flip project. It is a 5 bedroom SFR in Orange County. The house came with an in ground jacuzzi, which is a first for me. Unfortunately the equipment such as the pumps, heater and filter are pretty old and need to be replaced and now I am faced with 3 options
1. Replace all the equipment and try and sell the house above the comps to cover the cost of equipment. Unfortunately equipment cannot be repaired.
2. remove the equipment but leave the connectors and sell the house without the pumps, filters etc at the original intended sales price within comps.
3. Remove the equipment and fill the jacuzzi in with concrete and sell the house at the original intended sales price within comps.
The comps my realtor used had an even spread of houses with and without pools/jacuzzis and it seems like having it neither helped to raise nor lower the price. Any advice on the best option to take? and why? Thanks so much in advance.
