I am partnering with with other people who want to invest in real estate and they have money but they don't have the time, experience, or knowledge of how to invest in real estate in a way that makes a lot of money quickly.

Investing in the market that you have knowledge of and the economic factors that support it is necessary. 

I would think their loan documents give them the right to control the property after the original owner dies - regardless of who is living there (although I have no direct knowledge of the laws where you live).There are details we don't know here... like if you want the house for sentimental reasons, or because you see the value between what it's worth on the market today and what the reverse mortgage company wants for it?  

I think I'll start out where I live and probably branch out outnof state once I build my knowledge and experience. 

There is also a short and clear path to owning a rental property free and clear.

However, the current market environment with relatively very high interest rates (7.37x increase of the 10-year treasury in 40 months from 2020-2024), and the slow recovery coming out of the Pandemic for the city make this a great opportunity to do just that, with many positive market factors on the horizon.In my opinion, right now is a great time to purchase a value add multifamily asset at an attractive basis, refinance in the coming years as we are now moving into a falling rate environment, receiving your tax-free refinance proceeds from the forced appreciation coming from renovations, the spike in market rent growth, lower vacancy, and compressing cap rates during the stabilization period, The macro factors for the DC Metro and for multifamily overall should contribute to a multifamily asset in the area being a safe and lucrative long-term investment as well.Other Notable Developments in the D.C.

& how you become financially free is by letting whoever your renting to (I'm guessing that was a step also?)

If it's a roth IRA, you may be able to take out the principle tax/penalty free.

Thanks for your knowledge in this area and sharing.
