Post: Buying new construction to sell

We’re in the Seattle market. We’ve ran some numbers and finding a turnkey home is much cheaper if you find land with all utilities and find a good builder (which we have). You’ll pay 300-400k total for land that is an acre plus and a home and could potentially sell for 500k depending on square footage. Some areas homes are selling for $229/ square foot.

Looking for some advice here. Recently sold our rental because the property was too much of a headache and now my wife and I have a decent amount of cash that we are trying to invest with. Our current home is only under my wife’s name and our rental was under mine...we bought before we met and got married. Four kids later she’s a stay at home mom and I have a decent job to support our family...Our original plan was to build and sell because construction cost vs equity gained after it is complete seems like a great idea but we are now trying to consider if we should buy and flip because obtaining a second mortgage on one income is proving to be tough. I’m curious what everyone’s experience is with each method and how financing was obtained for flips. if hard money was used, how does that work, etc. Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance to those who respond!

I have considered other areas and have thought about PML's and 1031. I want to hang on to my current properties because the equity in them will continue to go up and I don't see the Seattle area getting hurt much in the near future. I think leveraging that equity to my advantage may be my best bet...not super experienced with PML's though so I may look into that more as well.

I'm looking for some advice on acquiring more rental properties. Right now I have one rental and live in another property with my wife and Kids. Both properties have at least 100k in equity each. I want to use the equity to acquire a new property but the problem is I live in the suburbs of Seattle and the prices are outrageous...is anyone in a similar situation that I am and if you are/were did you start investing out of state?
