Acquire
foreclosed or distressed property and fix it up in order to sell at a
profit — this is the world of property flipping. This type of real
estate investment for both individuals and companies has reached
all-time highs, but with slightly less average gross flipping returns
than in the past.
Faced
with a sea of competition as more than 207,000
homes
were
flipped in 2017, you need ways to help your property stand out from
the crowd and attract a buyer immediately. One way to help your
investment reap better returns is by simply adding fresh, new sod.
Take a look at these four crucial reasons to add sod to your flip
property.
1.
New Sod Looks Amazing
Spring
and summer months are the best time to list a property for sale.
These mild months give you the freedom to enhance and show off the
landscaping of your property without snow and freezing temperatures.
One
way to dramatically boost the curb appeal of a newly remodeled home
is to add new sod to the front yard. A smooth display of perfect
green grass looks amazing in photos and video when you market your
property for sale. Perfection like this assures potential buyers that
the interior is as immaculate as the exterior.
2.
New Sod Makes a Home Instantly Pet- and Family-Friendly
A
property with multiple bedrooms is likely geared toward a
family-oriented buyer. In this case, you need to entice buyers that
plan to start a family or already have children and pets. The front
and backyard spaces of your property are a great draw for buyers
looking for outdoor space. Even a property with a smaller yard can be
useful for dog lovers that need a patch of green for their pets.
Install
new sod on your property to show buyers the beauty the yard has to
offer. The addition of grass
focuses
attention on the yard's potential as a place for kids and dogs to run
and play.
3.
New Sod Helps With Erosion Problems
Your
property can experience problems with erosion or water drainage if it
is located on or near a slope. If this is the case, buyers will
notice dirt displacement and other signs of erosion after a hard
rainfall and might look elsewhere. You can try to control erosion
with several methods. However, a retaining wall can be expensive and
layers of mulch or large boulders are unattractive and difficult to
work with.
Fortunately,
many erosion problems are easily solved with the addition of sod.
After a couple of weeks, sod is established enough for new roots to
grow. This complex system of roots helps hold soil together to
prevent erosion.

New Sod Is an Instant Investment
One
important key in flipping property is efficiency. The longer you take
to complete a home, the more you spend in interest, taxes, insurance,
and utilities. The ideal flip occurs in 90 days or less. Some
elements of a restoration take longer, such as installing a tile
floor or ordering custom cabinets. Landscaping should not be one of
them.
If
your yard is trashed with dirt, weeds, or garbage, now is not the
time to go cheap and start a lawn from seed. When you have less than
90 days to improve the curb appeal of your investment property, go
with sod for an instant return on your investment.
