Buy two 1/2 duplexes from 2 different sellers?

[Michael Orr]

Hey everyone! I have been in the market for some time to house hack a duplex in my SE Michigan area. Unfortunately they are far and few in between. I found one duplex for sale where each side is being sold by a separate seller. Is there any creative way to not have to make two purchases (two closing costs, two sets of bills each month, two tax statements, etc) ?
