2 houses on one property selling as one

[Brandon Metz]

Im seeing a bit of a gray area here. I have a lead on a property in a up and coming neighborhood priced very well and well maintained. Im looking into using my VA loans benefits to house hack. Only problem is this property is a Duplex with a small house as well in the backyard on the same property. Does anyone know if the VA recognizes this as a separate house or would they consider this a 3 unit property. If it checks out this place is worth a full analysis. But if this is considered a separate property i rather just not waste my time.
