Yes you can.
You need first to divide the property as 2 condos and some common areas. This is done through a real estate lawyer.

Are you thinking about the situation of a co-op or condo? You would have to have the property approved as such. In the case of a co-op, you would be selling shares.

Discuss this with your attorney.

Hi Nancy, I have seen where 2 people own a 2 family and each had 1 apartment representing their portion. Are you talking about selling to a family member?? I doubt that you can sell to someone if you have a mortgage- the bank would not let title change unless they were involved. need more info Terry K718-614-3167 cell
