Will you potentially be more at peace if you sell and buy an investment property that you have never lived in personally?

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried tp take over reverse mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

I'm seeing house hack, buy a primary and rent out the ADU on AirBnb or the ultimate house hack, owner lives in the tiny ADU and AirBnb both levels of the main house in San Francisco. 

A lot of the popular areas in Charleston proper that are not licensed under the old laws now require the owner to live on the premises to obtain an STR license.

Especially me as I do construction for a living. 

Similarly, the sale ($575K) minus your adjusted basis determines your capital gain.You may qualify for the primary residence exclusion (up to $250K single/$500K married) if you lived there 2 of the last 5 years.
