I know the forum has a bunch of info (appreciate it) but wanted to ask a few Qs as it relates to our needs:1) PS vs Indio - We visited both places over the weekend and almost considered a brand new home on the lake at Terra Lago in Indio but had a last minute pause. 

For example, we work with new construction duplexes in Indy that not only have lower insurance costs but are also brand-new properties, which means fewer surprises when it comes to inspections and repairs.If you're ever interested in diversifying or looking at markets that might offer you better returns and fewer insurance headaches, feel free to reach out!

If you are searching for a HML that can give you 100% financing or 90%/100% Rehab financing when you are brand spanking new, there is a high likelihood that it is a scam or a potential bait and switch.

If you're brand new, I think offering your services to someone for the first few months gratis is a great way to get your foot in the door.

Quote from @Oliver Martinez: Quote from @Arsen Atanasovski: Detroit hands down! 

I was buying brand new construction homes at the foreclosure sale for 30 to 50k.  2 years before the same houses were selling for 200 to 300k.. 

think about your first 1 to 2 to 5 to 10 years of ownership of a property, and the difference between:-a 1-year old furnace under warranty, and a 35 year old furnace-a house with central air, and a house without-a house with a brand new roof, and a house with a 25 year old roof-a house with a knob and tube wiring, and a fully rewired housewhich is going to have more capex? 

You can analyze a brand new property and compare that to an existing property, a fixer-upper, or whatever.
