Also being able to write down/document goals I set earlier and see if they are being hit.

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 had to have an awkward conversation with my favorite realtor when their broker suggested everyone had to pay a $700 “document fee” on every sale.

However, you can defer taxes under §1033 involuntary conversion if you elect to reinvest the proceeds into a similar rental property within two years (three years if the government condemns the property or threatens to do so, and four years for a principal residence in a federally declared disaster area).To reduce taxable gain, consider:Electing §1033 treatment and reinvesting the full $300K into a new rental property to defer taxes completely.Partial reinvestment, where only the portion not reinvested is taxable.Properly documenting all replacement costs and property details to ensure IRS compliance.Using cost segregation on the new property to accelerate depreciation and offset future taxable income.Since the §1033 election must be made, consult a tax professional to ensure compliance and maximize deferral benefits.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
