Newer or older homes Houston Texas?

I made the decision to buy newer homes (less than 7 years old).

I see most investors in Houston buying 20 to 30 years old houses, fixing them a bit and get better CF than on newer homes but will they not be eaten up by maintenance cost?

OK, taxes are a bit higher on newer homes but my feeling is that I have a good 15 years without a pb ahead of me.

So less than 10 years old or more than 20, what is your choice?
