I've seen A LOT of issues with new construction: using the cheapest materials available and cutting every corner possible, gaps between sill plates and walls or around windows and doors that you can see daylight through, offset sewer lines because of settling or someone driving heavy equipment over the line, black mold in the walls, testing positive for meth, foundation settling (harder to see it or predict it with newer homes whereas old ones have already settled) etc. newer definitely isn't always better.

I have recently started researching EPA for possible investment and was actually surprised by how nice the houses are but the schools are really really bad.

Should be able to get rents in 2700-2800$ range.

Learning that really opened my eyes to the possibilities that exist in building new homes vs flipping them.  

Most laws say the landlord has a duty to try to re-rent the property as soon as possible and the renter is only liable for the time it sits empty, not the entire length of the lease. 

It is possible to do your own taxes correctly with TurboTax, but there are some things to watch out for. 

For splitting the quadplex into duplexes you will need to talk to the city to see if that is possible.
