If you are not in a good neighborhood, you will not be attracting great tenants and sharing a duplex with someone can be a highly stressful and unpleasant experience, especially if the structure is not truly conducive to being a duplex.

Signs of this are poor lease quality, maybe M2M tenants, high expenses (unnecessary things like high trash bills, internet, cleaning, security).

Such units are painfully in short supply and sky high demand.

Because interest rates are high right now it probably doesn’t make sense to pull extra cash just to stick it in a bank account.

It's high leverage, high risk.

Professional staging, virtual tours, and high-quality photos can help them envision how the space fits their lifestyle, whether it’s for entertaining, work, or family.To overcome the “biggest house in the neighborhood” concern, shift the focus to its uniqueness and lifestyle potential.

However, she was highly demanding and I didn’t appreciate her negotiation method by intimidation.
