Why would someone sell a 100% leased duplex that has Positive CF?

I've always wondered this but why would someone sell a duplex or even a single family home when it is leased with long term tenants and the cash flow is positive?

I know maybe some people need the money now but is that the main reason? I'm always suspicious of this and wondering if maybe I shouldn't be. 

New here so thanks everyone!

job transfer, divorce, retirement, succession, burn out, they now have a better opportunity with the capital, they bought and plan to sell in X years, they will sell when X comes, overleveraging, shift from wealth building generation properties to wealth keeping.

I'm sure I forgot a few reasons.
