As a CPA who lives and breathes real estate taxation, I've noticed something interesting that I want to share with the BiggerPockets community.

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried ti take over reverser 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 invest in about a 50 mile radius from where I live.

I live in Farmington Hills.
