While I’m based in California, I’m looking to begin house hacking a duplex, triplex, or quadplex in Houston, Texas, and build from there.I’m looking forward to continuing to learn, becoming a property owner, and taking full control of my time and life to eventually quit my 9-to-5.

He lives in Pas and he is one of the biggest ADU experts in SoCal. 

They also have the ports (or in the case of D.C. the government) which means they will continue to be very important economically for a long time.I invest in Rochester, NY because I happen to live there, but when Kodak went "under" and Xerox moved there was no appreciation for almost 20 years. 

I am sure many would  consider other investment strategies besides  continually recycling their capital collecting  homes that are propped up with appraised values that are not attainable if the properties were marketed for sale.   

I’m not sure when to decide that I “know enough” to make this kind of investment, or if I should continue educating myself before pulling the trigger on a property. 

I forwarded this to my GC, and he assured me he would take care of everything, including pulling the permits.Work continued, but after mid-July, the weekly updates from him stopped.

what could be a possible partnership model with local experts? 

They also have a key backup.I'm less of an expert on security cameras because I live in a really safe community.

The coastline continues to grow and with towns like New London working  to build up their infrastructure to draw in more business and ultimately residences, it feels like the area is heading in the right direction overall.
