Thoughts On Window A/C Units?

[Steven Thoma]

Hi All -

When looking at potential residential (SFR and Multifamily) investment properties, how do window A/C units influence your opinion? Do you discount these properties? Do you feel you automatically need to invest in converting to central A/C? My focus is, in particular, the northern Midwest.

Thanks for any insights and opinions!

One thing to consider, is tenants electric bill can be significantly higher w multiple units, compared to 1 central system. I would make sure I'm getting house at a discounted enough price to be able to install central.
