Resale value is going to be weaker than detached homes, but the lower price point will make it more marketable.
Also, there is no such thing a "real" houses.... they are just different styles of housing. Semi-detached homes make desirable neighbourhoods affordable.

What you are wanting to build is only good for now - if you want to live in half, you are not getting the biggest bang for your buck, and that is to build a nasty duplex, and sell both halves to suckers. Instead you are going to the trouble to be one of those suckers instead. You'll get the benefit now, with all the detriments of the future. The definition of short-sighted. Why?
You are building something with the downsides of a condo, and the downsides of a house, with none of the benefits of a condo, and fewer of the benefits of a house. And you want to live there?
