A fresh site will always rank no matter what if you do things correctly, investing in a domain would be the part that might mean you never rank at all due to it's history.

I have to disagree on that, maybe when you are targeting low-level keyword a fresh domain will rank, but even midlevel will take you months of SEO to get some decent results and you bypass that with buying a none expired domain with a good backlink profile.
I just did an ecom store for a friend of mine, bought a $300- domain that was in the niche, 12 years old and with a great bl profile and she is ranked right under Amazon for her main keywords and that within 6 weeks and no other SEO done then on-site SEO, siloing and internal links and it is not the first time i have done this either.

I wasnt saying there would be a delay with a fresh site, I know there is a delay in ranking, but you are guaranteed ranking, where if you buy a expired domain thats been blacklisted by google you are not ranking no matter what metrics it has. Fresh sites are much safer.

I could not disagree more with you, even if the occasional is blacklisted the gains you have to make up for that risk, fresh sites take months of SEO also costing money and time, lots and lots of time... I would always buy a domain with good metrics over a fresh domain, even if there is a small risk involved.
