2 properties on single tax lot - one or two mortgages?

Profile picture for cmjeffery22
I'd like to purchase a duplex and single family home on a single tax lot as an investment. Will I be able to finance this with one mortgage?

TIA.

I just happen to have a property of my own that has two houses on one lot.
I have one mortgage.

As a matter of fact, I just put them on the market 2 weeks ago.

Bob.

It will not be easy. You may actually need a commercial mortgage. The main problem is appraisal comps. If the neighborhood happened to be full of lots with two structures, and three have sold in last 90 days, you're good. Can the lot be split into two lots? I wish old Bob Grimsrud would have said how he did his. It's probably a commercial loan from his bank. It is not a conforming loan that can be sold to Fannie or Freddie. If you have a good Banker talk to them first. I'm sure someone will say I'm wrong even and they might even contribute some useful info while calling me an idiot. Let's see.
