Good luck in your search for a home.
Regarding a Multigen home--my sister recently moved with her daughter into a multigen home, both BIL and nieces hubby have been fighting cancer, so support for each family helps. They went in rather quickly, and now, about 3 months out, are having some rough patches. They did not think things through, even down to who fixes meals and what is the menu.
Their house is beautiful, with two masters and 5 bedrooms to accommodate all.
But it is a work in progress.
So, if you go that route with your daughter, hopefully you have discussed how bills get paid, who does what chore, etc.
Multigenerational living can be wonderful. My grandparents lived with us for several years when I was younger. Our son and grandson have lived with us for a few years, now have their own place, closer DS work.
Memories that last a lifetime and such a special time with all. But it does take coordination and very open discussions along the way!
