Duplex financing when I already own half

[Tristan Burch]

I think I have somewhat of a unique situation that I'm trying to figure out how to work out... I currently own (as my primary residence) 1/2 of a duplex. The owner of the other half has just agreed to sell me their half, which I'll be using as a rental. Is there a way to get owner occupied financing for a single loan that will cover both sides (effectively like refinancing mine side into a bigger loan that encompases both)?
