How can I appeal to the seller that people aren't going to pay that much for this duplex?

A  realtor will hire a professional photographer to maximize results and draw ✍️ more attention to a property!

The economics of the Boulder RE market made it appealing to me for so many reasons. 

Should I worry about the appeal of the house when it’s being occupied?

I told him I'm not (I'm a real estate photographer) but would reach out to my network and connect him with someone. 

The town's Zoning Board of Appeals (or some similar board) can hear and decide on an application for a variance.

For instance, I have a spot that had a very weird floorplan when I first bought it (which drove buyers away), but I could see that with some relatively minor work, the floorplan could easily be changed to be much more appealing, and much more functional...the property was turned from a 2 br 1 ba into a 3 br 3 ba, which transformed it from a cashflow negative property to a significant cashflower.With prices so high and deals so hard to find, value add strategies are often the way to go!

This deal was appealing because I already have STRs in the neighborhood so I know it rents well & new construction in this area is rare.

Title, photographer, stager, home inspection, roofer, foundation co, GC, any other trade---electrician, plumber etc, landscaper, furniture company, hard money lender, wholesaler, concierge type service, mover, painter, appliance company, the list goes on and on and on.
