Purchasing SINGLE Duplex owned by TWO sellers HELP!

[Curtis Linville]

I am in the process of buying a half duplex and the owner of the other half has reached out to me about selling. Is there any way that I can roll these two purchases into one so I only have one appraisal/inspection/closing cost? My lender and realtor agent have not seen a situation where a duplex that has two separate owners both sell at the same time to a single buyer and are digging to find information as well. Just curious if any of you could give us some pointers in the right direction. THANKS!

To make matters more complicated I am 2 weeks into the first deal. They are currently working on resolving the issues that came up in the inspection so its a time crunch for sure!
