That was a great project that forced us to spend and make a series of decisions both together and individually.

Additionally, you'll be making a lot of decisions on the plans today that will drastically affect the cost of your build later, so get a GC lined up now that you can run questions past like gas in the building or all electric, if it's a duplex how do I get away with no house meter for the electric so I only have two meters and not a house meter you have to pay for, etc.

I’m sure this is an emotional decision and without knowing your particular financial situation or your mom’s I’m cautious to give too much opinion.
