From what I've seen, the challenge is more about the resale. As new construction home values drop, that pushes your value even lower because you need to compete.

From a rental perspective, just look at comps of older homes versus new homes and see if there is a difference. My hunch is that there isn't much of a difference in rents as long as the home looks nice and meets the needs of the tenants. 

More challenging in what sense? If you are referring to a leasing perspective it's important to know that everything leases out as long as you price it correctly. So it's important to understand your rental comps before you decide to invest in a particular area.
