When one machine goes down you start losing money in a small way. 

Is it realistic to ask for and expect to get at least 2 landlord references and 2 tenant references (current clients) if I am a " small time" landlord with one property, not multiple units?

I would like to get into house hacking another small multifamily as soon as possible.

When I contacted MFM, they told me to direct my complaints to Prime as they operate independently of them.

Invest in comfortable furnishings and amenities, and add small extras that can make a big difference—like coffee pods or local snacks.

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?  

.- As already stated, you'll have a small portfolio.

They don’t charge anything for these extra accounts, my tenants pay directly into those accounts.

Many are buying properties, doing minimal renovations to keep their crews busy, and selling with small or zero profit margins.Cash buyers are a priority.

Consider starting small with house hacking a duplex or triplex, and use tools like the BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculator to analyze deals.Good luck!
