@Lucas MilburnHere are some initial high level considerations:•Potential investors with retirement funds can invest those funds via self directed IRA (or if they are self employed, a self directed 401k).

Also I would like to separate the stairs going from top to bottom level.

I don't think it causes a safety hazard, it's just that the upper half of the house is no longer approved as a rental so there's no point in having an upstairs kitchen.Thanks again,Matt

We started with the upper unit, once that was done we rented that unit, and used their rent as capital to help finance the lower/larger unit.

This is also due to the home sitting in a low level lot, where the lots surrounding are at a much higher elevation, and will need to be leveled.
