John Vela-Garcia Renovating vs New Build

this is somewhat true. depending on the size of the "skeleton". what we found from being in renovations for 8 years and new construction for the last 5 years nationally is that what actually makes the money is design, entitlement, land acquisition, etc. you can pull every lever in new construction. it's more active and you have all the control. if you don't make money it's your own fault. talk to any lender who looks at deals they would agree. banks prefer ground up at the regional level who see deals than existing renovations.

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Yanting Wang many investors are buying, "build to rent" properties.They are all being told that in buying a new construction property, they shouldn't have maintenance issues for 5-10 years, which will increase their cashflow/profit.Well, tenants have a way of breaking things, not taking care of problems and letting them become maintenance issues, and this is on top of the fact that most new construction properties require several warranty repairs by the builder in the first 12 months.As others have pointed out, you must live in the property for the first 12 months for an FHA mortgage or take your chances with committing mortgage fraud. do a new construction multifamily don't buy a single family for BTR the numbers are garbage. density is the only win for economies of scale, micro units as well. small, well designed multiple dwelling properties are superior.
