3-family – how to use as 2-family?

Anyone have experience reconfiguring a 3-family house as a 2-family house? We’re looking into 3 family homes but want rental income and are trying to figure out the best way to use as 2 families. We’d probably prefer to live on lower duplex (plus English basement) but how difficult is it to put in an interior stair in your unit (to preserve common stair oustide your unit)? And if you eventually want to take over the whole house, can the stairwell be easily removed in future? Any other ideas for how best to do this?
