First time home buyer

New to this kind of thing. We are planning to migrate to US. We have family in New York and New Jersey, I would prefer if we are in New York, but what would be the best course of action into migrating there, how much budget should I have for a starting house, what kind of house as well, I have heard of these Modular Houses, they look very appealing, please share your experiences if you have some with the type of houses that you have, we need something just enough to live comfortably because we are planning to buy/build something bigger in the future. Should I buy a starting house or build a small one. Of course we are planning to get jobs so something close to work or a short drive would be nice. Can someone suggest locations as well? Planning to buy because even if we do get a bigger house, I do plan on making money off of this one, like a rental or something. A DM would be nice cause I think it is not allowed to advertise here. Thank you so much for your insights. God bless.

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...
