Central air vs. AC units

[Tom Camarda]

Hello all,

Wondering what your thoughts are on the following: 

Just purchased a small 2BR 1 for 55k. Needs 10K in rehab and should rent for $895/mo Thing is, that 10K does NOT include central air.. That would be an additional 10K and would probably only net an additional $50/mo in rent. Should I pay for a whole new AC in a 895 sq ft house or just go nice window units? My heart says do it (it is in Texas - hot!) but the investor in me says it's not worth it. This is for a buy, rehab, hold and rent property...

Thanks!
