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.

You could bring less down and possibly have a lower interest rate since you will be living there.

You can't rent out a PO box and live there.And yea that sounds like a huge red flag to me. 

Quote from @Ericka Parrott: Hi Dylan, I live here in Atlanta.

I wanted a house for myself to live in and I had been living with parents for two years to save money.

Theres someone living in the side that I will be occupying until the 1st of February, but since I JUST became the owner, would it make sense to reach out and ask them something like "Hey its __ the new owner, just checking in to see how you're doing.

I used to live in the city and the taxes and water bills are nightmares.

If you are comfortable living with roommates, a SFH househack could be the move for you.

Quote from @Ben Trageser: If you live in your short-term rental (STR) property in a future year after claiming depreciation, depreciation recapture does not occur immediately.

If a home was previusly owned and lived in by a famous person, does it add much value?
