It's free.

At the time we received an offer from a reputable short term drug and alcohol rehab facility who operates out of SFHs in LA to rent the entire property at above market rates.

Quote from @Courtney Dettlinger: Your equity is not a savings account from which you can withdraw for free.

Shortly after, my strategist flagged that RTR was severing its ties with their PM partners in Harvest and would be seeking a new go-to team.

If you're interested, I can provide some free help.

If you're free, we should meet up for coffee.

We remedied the situaiton by installing 1 mini-split on the lower level.At another ranch house with boiler heat, which the previous owner had updated with a newer high efficiency unit shortly before our purchase, we added central air with the entire unit and all the ductwork in the attic. 

We have a local roadside assistance company here that charges only $15 a month for hassle free roadside help here at the apartments and around our valley for our student tenants  that may be new to car troubles and away from home!

I promise you will have options once you finish renovating.If you purchased correctly (location & purchase price), you will have enough equity so that you can either sell it for tax free capital gains, cash out refinance (if mortgage rates are lower), or pull a HELOC to acquire your next property!

Feel free to reach out if you have questions on how that works or the tradeoffs!
