How Would You Comp Two Properties on a Single Lot?

Contemplating a purchase of a property with a main house and a smaller back house...I would like to create an equity position, but have no idea how the property would be comped?...

Would the appraiser consider each house independently?

@Brandon Sturgill What Sam said is right about if the second home is real living.  Having legitimate permits is key.  Earlier last year I bought a seller financed 2 home property.  Both were permitted but I was told if one of the units burned down I would not be allowed to build another home because of the zoning.  Another thing is if the property your looking at has a separate electric meter... don't assume it is permitted.  As soon as that property changes ownership you could see a call from the city.... speaking form experience.
