Why New Construction Is Winning in 2026
Comparing New Builds, Resales and Distressed Properties
Not every “deal” is actually a good investment.
Resale and distressed properties may offer attractive purchase prices, but repair costs, financing challenges, aging systems and unexpected expenses can quickly change the numbers. Meanwhile, today’s new-construction market is giving investors access to opportunities that may include builder incentives, lower maintenance needs, modern features and more predictable ownership costs.
Join Leah Slaughter for this free educational event as she compares the three primary places investors are finding rental properties in 2026: new construction, resale homes and off-market or distressed properties.
You’ll learn why new construction may offer the strongest combination of value, predictability and long-term investment potential in today’s market, while also seeing where resale and distressed opportunities can still make sense for the right investor.
Topics We’ll Cover:
- Where real estate investors are finding opportunities in 2026
- Builder incentives and discounts available on new construction
- New construction versus resale purchase costs
- Repair, renovation and ongoing maintenance considerations
- Financing options across different property types
- The risks hidden behind some off-market and distressed “deals”
- Which type of property may best fit different investor goals
- How we would think about deploying a hypothetical $250,000 today
Whether you’re preparing to purchase your first rental property or looking for the next addition to your portfolio, this session will help you compare the available options, recognize the true cost of each opportunity and understand why new construction is standing out in 2026.
