Once my Oregon Project is done end of this year Move base of operation and personal residence to my home in Vegas .

Median-priced homes will attract the highest percentage of qualified residents looking for rentals and the highest percentage of owner-occupied home buyers in the future. 

Cat odor is far more problematic than a small dog, but I would check landlord references to confirm how they've maintained their last residence.

Make sure you have filed for Homestead exemption at the very least (this can only be done if you the home is your primary residence, not an investment home).

California prices are really unaffordable at the same time the state has consistently had outmigration of native residents for something like a decade and even negative population growth recently whereas Texas has grown substantially. 

So you are suggesting like me tryin to by a single family residence or a apartment unit and live in one of the units and rent the rest out as a house hacking strategy?  

It is currently my primary residence and was a great house hack but I’m now considering moving out to live with my girlfriend nearby in her condo.
