New construction vs existing

[William Donnelly]

Hello all, I'm currently looking to invest in small multi-family properties. Can anyone give the pro-cons to building new vs. buying existing? This will be in MS where land costs are low, and flat, so not a huge amount of land development needed minus obvious utility hook-ups etc... Are there companies that specialize in this development finding land for you and building from nothing in an all inclusive package? If so, does anyone know of these type of developers located in MS?
