Buy New Home as investment property?

[Michael Bergeron]

I have a new home community being built near me in Duluth GA.  The community is in the early build stage and there are not a lot of homes currently built.  

My question is would you purchase a NEWLY BUILT property as a real estate investment?  I would want to rent out this property.

My thoughts are that the property will increase in value as the community continues to build out.
