I chose that site because it is suggested quite often on this site.

i would buy a property without central a/c if I could buy it low enough, add central a/c and still achieve the numbers I want. but depending on the part of Norfolk it's in, you may not even have to go through that trouble. in some areas it quite common and acceptable to have window a/c. as for letting tenants supply/install their own a/c, I wouldn't let them. i'm biased against letting tenants install fixtures after some experiences in my mom's rental. it's amazing how people can mess up the simplest task. if buying 10 window units doesn't break the bank and doesn't greatly affect your return then go for it. it's definitely favorable to have a/c in the bedroom from a tenant's view. hope everything works out!

Repairs, no matter how small eat into cash flow.

Probably have to call around quite a bit, as I'm sure many won't offer it (it's a lot more trouble).

There are quite a few posts about doing that here on BP.

We are considering flipping with renting and lease option as exit strategies, but still feel we have a lot to learn because our market here is quite competitive.

There are quite a bit of DFW people around here!
