Are there any ways to control and    Invest in a property I'm living in then sell for a profit in two years when I'm ready to buy a more suitable house?

Suitable for an owner occupied situation.

Space is at a premium around here, and I don't imagine you'd have too much issue finding suitable visitors interested in whatever space/timeframe you were offering.

They could, in fact, be much worse due to the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution.These trusts, however, may be suitable for people who live in states that allow such trusts and have all their assets in that state.

@Beth Matherne Hi beth, i work for a large appraisal firm and we have appraised plenty of houses with a duplex & single family on the same lot. the appraiser can make it work but you will pay more for the appraisal due to complexity & it may take a while for an experienced enough appraiser to accept the order. they can extend distance and go back in time to find suitable comps.

I've already done some research on duplexes in my area and found some suitable ones in my area, and am thinking about backing out and going for a duplex.
