@Clara Cheng, to my knowledge, it's highly unlikely that there is a way to file a change to permit co-living properties in Cobb County. 

I manage properties where I live and one bad month, one eviction, one water heater goes out, you could be upside down on cash flow for months and I am thousands of miles away so I have to trust their "Trusted Property Manager"Sorry for the long rant, the question I have is what about Tennessee?

I grew up just north of San Francisco and moved to Reno, NV to live and invest. 

@Yusuke Koike if damage was that extensive where the unit is not habitable, check your state/local landlord tenant laws as some just require you let them out of lease, return deposit and refund rent for any time they’ve paid that they can’t live there.

I bought a DSLD home before they built it and watched them construct it and live in a neighborhood that has had about 500 homes built in it in the last 6 years. 

Ie I live in a town of about 5000 people, but it is 5 minutes from a city of 100K.

, I’m looking into doing a HELOC on my current owner-occupied duplex (live in one side) to help fund a down payment on another duplex.

Thank you for your feedback, in Arizona specifically, as an out of state investor (I'm in California) it is the state law that they need someone living physically in Arizona to represent you with your legal affairs.
