Replacing electric baseboard in flip house

Hi everybody, I recently purchased a home with electric hot water baseboard heat with an arv of $140,000 and was wondering if I should replace it with a natural gas or oil furnace? 

What have been your experiences with selling flip homes with electric heat? Will converting it actually add value or help my home sell faster?

Many of the homes I looked at had electric heat that were reo's as well.

@Dave Smart 

 Please clarify.  Do you have electric heat?  or hot water baseboard?
