$650???????? Jesus fuck, that's cheap as hell for a \"legal\" 2 bedroom. WTF would an \"illegal\" home be?
I have a 4 bedroom Italian style home on 10 acres just outside the city.

A legal 2-family house (or 3 family, or whatever) is a home where multiple families live. The "legal" part comes where if there is a separate entrance from the outside of the house for each occupant to enter.
My house has two doors - one to the front, one to the side to access each of the apartments.
However, some places just have a singular front door with accessibility to both apartments, however both doors (one the inside) have locks on them. This is not a "legal" two family, but it's not like it's a police matter. I believe the idea of "legal" two family places give landlords tax breaks on owning the property.
