Building New VS. Buying for Short term rental investing

[Zachary Cain Humphrey]

In my experience I have noticed there are a lot of upsides to buying land and building new (construction loan) VS. the traditional find a home and buy it with regards to the STR strategy. I would love to hear others thoughts on what upsides they see as to why a person would choose to build new vs. buy an established already built property for STR?

I understand some markets are great investor markets but provide very little inventory practically forcing an investor to build new in order to gain access to said market. I also understand the ability to "create" equity through the construction process much like flipping homes / BRRRR would do. Just wanting to hear everyone's thoughts!
