AC units as part of a rehab

[Nitanth Vangala]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in the process of taking over a multi family complex and rehabbing a 2b/1ba unit and a 1b/1ba unit. The complex does not have central air and previous tenants were using portable AC units that we’re sitting in the window.

The units are in San Pedro, CA so it can get cool at night but still quite hot during the day. The market rent is about 2K for the 2b and 1700K for the 1B. Do you think it’s worth it to place AC units in the units? I think it looks cleaner but not sure how much cost this will add or how many AC units would be needed typically if you did that. This is also a buy and hold property. Thanks in advance for Any suggestions

Look in to mini splits as they as the 110v units often require no electric upgrades nor duct work
