My experience is that to sell each half of a duplex separately, each half must meet the area zoning and code requirement, including road frontage, utility connections, etc. Typically each half sits on it's own lot, with no lot line and obviously built to the lot line on the joined side. I wouldn't get involved in this type of ownership because I see too many of these in my area where it's obvious the owners aren't cooperating with one another -- for instance the duplex has different exterior paint for each unit, or one keeps his up and the other doesn't. There's no way to look nice when you're attached to a slum.
