Rehabbing In Winter - What do you do about landscaping if you're done/ready to sell like in mid-winter?
I am going to be doing rehab flips starting in a few weeks in the New England. What do you do you if you're project is all done say in February, ready to sell and market HOWEVER the landscaping still needs to be done? Obviously you're not laying sod, redoing shrubs etc in the dead of winter, yet maybe you have a sale in hand in Feb,? Do you give the buyer a landscaping a certain credit amount in the sale and let them do it later in the Spring?
I don't think you want to make a deal that you'll come back in May in for the landscape while they own the place. You want to move on. You then have to answer to the new owner's as to what they want until they are happy etc (rather than had you done it on your own before a sale without the interference, or say from others).
So what do you do in this case?
Thanks,
Steven
