Existing Homes vs.
Building Custom Rental Homes

While the tried and traditional route for investors is purchasing a home or building to use as a rental property, the growing build-to-rent trend has created another option that may offer some significant advantages over purchasing one to rent.

Here are points to consider when choosing between investing in an existing building or building to rent:

Have properties in your own design. Building a custom rental home allows investors to design a property that meets the specific needs and desires of their target renters, which can help attract and retain tenants.
Less maintenance and repair. A brand-new rental property will have fewer maintenance and repair issues than an older home, which can save money and prevent headaches in the long run.
Have energy-efficiency properties. Incorporating energy-efficient features into the design can lower utility costs for both the investor and the tenant, making the property more attractive to environmentally-conscious renters.
Ability to choose location. Investors can choose a location that is up-and-coming or underserved by rental properties, which can offer more potential for growth and higher rental income.
Higher quality, higher rent. Building a custom home with the right professionals yields higher quality property that commands higher rents and greater profits in the long run.
