I was wondering...What are the risks of purchasing new construction?

Our reasons for going after apartments are 1) they are more risk tolerant.

The reason prices are so good at auctions is people do as much homework as they can and then figure in risk costs.

It's a Catch-22 of sellers becoming more desperate to unload their listings, but investors risking extended vacancies until Spring.

Very high liability risk.

I believe I can ask for higher rent and deposit, but wondering if the risks are worth the added income.I'm reaching out to my insurance carrier to understand if my coverage needs to change. 

I sell some of my houses with owner carry.

- Even if you had the cash to buy on the cheap, was anyone lending- If you bought sensibly and cash-flowing, did you even care because you could carry through the crash- Was the rental market hotter because homeowners became renters, or was it colder because tenants couldn't afford their rentcc @Anthony Thompson

There's so many ways to make it work, that I hesitate to advise on the "right" option - it all depends on your risk tolerance, appetite for leverage and long-term goals. 

But these are few and far between and if you don't know exactly who you are working with and trust them fully, you're the one at risk because it's your money in the pot.So it's not undoable, it's just not typical.
