Investing into new construction. Do or don't?

[Jiri Vetyska]

Anybody has thoughts on whether it's worth buying new construction SFR or townhomes compared to existing housing?

Seems to me, that new construction is gonna be a bit more expensive, but I should be able to ask for higher rents. And on the plus side, there won't be any maintenance for many years to come unlike older houses that need lots of fixes and upgrades now and then. 

Any experience or real life comparison is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
