More details to this question:
I borrowed money on a reverse mortgage several years ago to pay medical bills and home repairs. I now owe more than the value of the home. I need a ranch home for my health condition. Can I buy another home while owing Hud?

the fact you have a reverse mortgage does not prohibit you per se from buying another home.
the reverse mortgage is tied to your lifespan but you can buy another home- your issue will probably be related to qualifying for another mortgage.
the one thing you can do is rent out your current home and use the proceeds to rent a ranch- but do check your mortage to be sure renting is permitted (you might need permission to do so, but you do have a medical reason).
