Install Central A/C in old House for BRRR?

I'm looking at an 1950s, 3br/1ba fixer upper that currently has window units. Still running the numbers, but the plan is to BRRRR but flip would be the backup exit strategy.

Does anyone have experience installing HVAC in old houses that do not have central air? Is it worth the cost for rental?

All in one ac units can save on space for new install and a bit cheaper. But really just means the air handler is outside- I believe these are the systems mostly used for trailer homes. We purchased a home that has this type of ac system for a 3/2 built in the 1950's

I agree with @Jake Baker on mini splits. We purchased a mr cool 3 head system. Couldn't be happier with it. We also have a Mitsubishi in a studio. Mr cool system was a DYI kit.
