I cannot make a decision whether I should use some of my funds to buy a primary residence or for more business.

Currently, I have about a couple hundred grand. I used about half of it to fund my one flip that I am doing right now. I recently sold my first flip this year, yielding a profit of about roughly $100k, within a 3 month span. I'm currently doing my second for the year, which should yield about $170k. I wanted to use my other half of the funds to fund another potential flip. But I really love this one house I saw pop up on the market, to live in.

Making money is definitely a priority to me right now. I started my flipping business last year. However, I live in a very toxic environment. My brother once in awhile fights with my father and I that he owns the house. And I really want to just move out of there. Currently, we live rent free. Which is incredibly awesome. But now that I'm making some money, I just feel for my mental sanity I want to move out. And buy my own place. My mother passed away also due to the amount of pressure and stress my brother had put on her, because he felt he owned the house. I don't want my dad to go through all that stress that my mom had to either. He's getting older now.

The house I'm interested in getting is at $1.2m. I have saved $245k, including down payment and 12 months of reserves. Based off what I had mentioned, should I continue to just use my funds to flip a few more houses til I buy a primary home? Or just go for buying that house?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
