Buy new or older beach house for STR? (Jersey Shore)

[Nick Hawthorne]

Hi all. I'm looking into purchasing a STR beach house on the Jersey Shore that I can use occasionally and rent at least enough to cover the mortgage. I've come across several new construction houses, presumably teardowns. What are the pros and cons of buying a newly constructed house vs. an older one in this area? Also, are there any good resources for investing in the Jersey Shore? Thanks!!
