Buying a property without air conditioning?

[Brad Fletcher]

I'm looking at purchasing a town home to use as a rental.  My price range is 90-115K.  Some of the homes in this range do not include air conditioning.  Would you buy a house to use as a rental that does not have central a/c?  How much do you think it would cost to add it if the house already has duct work for forced air heat.  These are smaller homes around 1100 sq ft.  Thanks!

In Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin I can replace ac units for about $2700. I did 2 this summer.  I put Central air in all of my rentals. Tenants can sometimes destroy windows and floors by nailing window units to the window or trim to secure them or not installing them properly.
