We lived in a little apartment above the garage and rented out the main portion of the house. 

Hello my name is Ernest KAKEU, I live in Midland.

I live in the greater Maryland  area.

The company I currently use for my other investment homes said they don't offer management for any co living... unless everyone in the home is on one lease.

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

You'll need a contact who lives in Philadelphia for a rental license now to put down their contact info for the city.

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.

Unfortunately, over the 11 months he has lived there, he has only managed to pay the rent on time once.

Quote from @Vince Scipione: Yes, they are a popular choice where I live and work, however with the ever fluctuating cost of oil heat, many people have swapped over their boilers/furnaces to what is called a "Propane Gun" essentially it is a device that is affixed to the front of the furnace/boiler that injects the propane and ignites it.

I live in Fl. where insurance is pretty costly but I am also investing in states where insurance seems less expensive.
