Noob question - should I get A / C for a flip in San Pedro, CA?

[Daniel Oren]

Hello BP, I am finishing up my 5th flip, which is a house in San Pedro, CA. However, my first four flips were in Ohio, so this is my first CA flip. I am interested in the opinions of others who are familiar with San Pedro or at least the surrounding areas.

Simple question really - should I get an A/C unit for the house? It will be listed around 900k. I’ve been working in the house for months now, and I personally am always fine with just keeping the windows open, and I can easily work with no A/C and just windows open. There is also a fan system that goes through the vents and is hooked up to the Nest Thermostat that I’ve already installed for the new furnace.

I personally would never use an A/C in San Pedro (rather open windows than pay for energy costs), and I know that my opinion is biased, so I’d like to know your opinions...should I get the A/C system anyway? Good investment for the flip or bad investment?

TIA.
