Properties represented as being in good working order will understand this is just due diligence and not likely to be an issue, and typically accept such terms.

Is new construction a good first investment (will be an Out of State investor)2.

Hi Devin,Rents are typically very slow to catch up to volatility.

I also own a plumbing and a construction company, so if you have any questions please fill to ask.  

Most B and A areas will be good to look into for new construction.

I have invested with Praxis but that was a new home construction fund and it was ho hum, underperforming my expectations, but made money nonetheless.  

Typically a cleaner or handyperson is happy to do this. 

I'm passionate about real estate and construction, and I'm eager to soak up as much knowledge as I can.If anyone has any advice or suggestions on how to get started in this field, I would greatly appreciate it.

But I would make sure you cover the replacement cost value (RCV) and not the actual cost value (ACV) which is typically less coverage.
