Overview

What new construction access includes

An older rental can look cheaper until the roof, the HVAC and the plumbing come due. New construction moves that risk off your balance sheet: modern systems, current code, builder warranties where offered, and more predictable costs in the first years of ownership. It is the core of the current portfolio for that reason.

Marques works alongside builders and investors on residential development and duplex construction, which gives investors access to inventory before and during construction, not only after it is finished. You see the delivery date, the leasing plan and the estimated tax and insurance costs before you commit.

Buying at three stages

Each stage of construction trades time for terms. The current portfolio spans all three, from duplexes completed in October 2026 to deliveries projected for April 2027.

  • Completed and leasing: the property is finished, and tenants are in place or applications are underway.
  • Under construction: the structure is going up and a projected delivery date is set.
  • Pre-construction: the lot is secured and plans are set, with the longest lead time.

What to verify with the builder

Ask for the construction schedule and how delays are handled, the warranty terms, the specification sheet, the permit and inspection record, the deposit structure and where deposits are held, and the plan for leasing at delivery. Marques reviews each of these with you before you sign, and your own attorney should review the contract.

Taxes, insurance and the first years of ownership

New construction often insures more favorably than older housing stock because the roof, wiring and plumbing are new, though every quote depends on the carrier, the location and the coverage you choose. Get a quote for the specific property before you commit.

Property taxes are assessed by the county appraisal district. For a newly completed property, confirm the expected assessed value as well as the rate, since the estimate on each card is a starting point rather than a bill.

Questions

What investors ask

More answers on the investor FAQ.

What does buying before completion involve?

You contract on the property during construction against a projected delivery date, usually with a deposit, and close when the builder delivers. Read the terms on delays, deposits and changes carefully, and have your own attorney review them.

Are new construction rentals easier to lease?

Tenants often value new finishes and systems, but nothing is assured. Each property lists its leasing status plainly: leased, taking applications, or pre-leasing ahead of delivery.

Can I finance a property that is still under construction?

Often yes, with a loan that closes at completion. Terms vary by lender, so get pre-approved early. Marques can introduce lenders who work with investors on new construction.

Do you work with builders outside Houston?

Yes. Marques works with builders across Texas and Florida, with a focus on Greater Houston and Central Florida.
