Yes that would be the idea until we get a separate house built, at least for the property we were looking at.

Once everyone is settled into a house with an in-law apt, how much motivation will there be to build a separate house?

Agreed. I think for this to actually happen the perfect situation would have to land on our doorstep and we'd have to be in the right place to do something about it. I'm still open to the idea, but I think we definitely need to have some very open conversations about how it would work.
