Managing New Construction Rentals vs. Older Properties
Some investors I work with are building new construction rentals to add to their portfolios instead of only acquiring older homes.
From a property management standpoint, I’m curious:
- Do you find brand-new builds easier to manage (fewer maintenance calls)?
- Or do issues like warranty claims, HOAs, and tenant expectations bring their own challenges?
- Have you noticed tenant retention differs between new vs. older units?
For PMs and landlords — how does managing new builds compare in your experience?
