Welcome to the BiggerPockets community

I want to use the equity in my CA home for the downpayment"me: "gasp" Caller: I read this is the way to do it on the BP forum.That's the unfortunate truth. 

I also have the landscape company, approved by the HOA (see #2), using drones to take pictures just in case I need additional backup for insurance.

Hello, I’m have plans to remodel the basement in my house and rent it out. but before making any major renovations, I thought it would be a good idea to ask in here if anyone in the Cobb county area in GA has done this before?

Thanks for the suggestion!
