Since we know that construction workers are the major occupant and I see so many RV spots popping up in the Houston area, how do you plan to prepare a get out plan?

I searched daily (even hourly) for the right deal to pop up where the numbers would work as a House Hack, and then as a cash flowing rental property after I move out.

Much of the time these "life events" that "popped-up",  ...are NOT known to the selling agent (Realtor).So once you "have a handle" on the "current selling values" of "that particular area" you chose to concentrate on, start making lots offers.

I was originally thinking single-family homes to start, but condos could be enticing (there are also a fair amount of them popping up in Beaverton).

I'm a fan of Keller Williams and some of the C21 franchisees for the full splits, Remax for the desk fee, and then RealtyPath, Equity, or Presidio for the transaction fee (there are a lot of the Tx fee popping up so who knows on that). 

"Deals" may start to pop up here and there as consumer confidence rides the recovery wave, but the timing just isn't right (in my opinion). 

I COULD get permits after the purchase, but we are looking at possibly 50K a pop (or more) per ADU...

As Greg said, banks don't loan money to mom and pop LLCs without you signing a personal guarantee. 

There is 1 duplex popped up in Aurora area and while I was figuring my schedule to see the property, someone put it under contract like in 3 days.

In my market, which is smaller, (150K MSA) I have found that occasionally a mom and pop owner who has a complex between 12-60 units will often go to a local residential realtor that they associate as one who "specializes in investment property" to list the complex.
