Both options can work well if you’re buying in the right markets and from a reputable operator.In general:New builds tend to be lower maintenance, command higher rents, and come with warranties.Renovated turnkeys often offer better initial cash flow and lower purchase prices, especially in established neighborhoods with consistent tenant demand.If you’re investing remotely and plan to hold long-term, both asset types can perform well - it’s about matching the property type to your investing style and goals.2) Pros and Cons of EachNew BuildRenovated TurnkeyPros- Minimal repairs for 5–10 years- Energy efficient and modern- Higher tenant appeal- Often in growing suburban areas- Lower acquisition cost- Immediate cash flow- Infill locations with existing infrastructure- Potential for stronger appreciation in revitalizing neighborhoodsCons- Higher upfront cost- Fewer options in mature, central neighborhoods- May not cash flow as strongly upfront- Risk of hidden issues if not properly renovated- Shorter lifespan on some components (if not replaced)- Potentially higher maintenance over timeIdeal ForHands-off investors who want long-term stability and fewer surprisesCash-flow focused investors looking for better entry points and established rental demand3) What’s the Lifespan of a Renovated Turnkey?
