If I waited longer and was able to pull more equity then I could possibly buy a multi family property like a duplex or triplex.

.: My wife and I are considering getting a home closer to her family to stay in for extended periods and holidays.   

I am considering moving back as I have family there and if so would plan to look for fix-n-flips to invest in.

Right now I want to invest in a multifamily or single home family and buy and hold it.

I am primarily interested in single family and multi-family homes in Colorado and am open to other places as well.

About getting out of the Rat Race.My family and I played it a few times, and what can be said in its favor is that there are a lot of opportunities to buy rental properties under different cash flow conditions.

Unfortunately - there are a couple of issues here that likely make this hard to finance:-"Cabin style" dwellings typically are difficult to finance as the secondary capital markets treats these differently than standard single family homes as the buyer pool for a "cabin" dwelling is less than that of a standard home.- Yurts: Lenders typically have difficulty financing Yurts as they are moveable collateral.

Why do you think you can just split a single-family into two units?
