And there is definitely ways to structure a sub to deal to protect yourself a little better as a buyer but the problem is and will always be that the lender isnt in the loop with this and can call the loan at any point which puts a lot of risk on the sellers willing to do this method and the buyers who are investing money into these deals.

Here are the details of the property:Property Overview:Location: Texas2 lots, 2 warehouse buildingsFinancials:Mortgage: $4,897/month (balance: $530,000)Insurance: $830/monthProperty Tax: $1,800/monthBuilding 1:1 tenantRent: $7,570/month12,000 square feetBuilding 2:3 tenantsTenant 1: $2,850/month (5,000 square feet)Tenant 2: $1,793/month (2,500 square feet)Tenant 3: $895/month (1,250 square feet)The property was appraised for $2,200,000 three years ago.Given the current rental income and expenses, the cash flow is decent, but my family friend is looking to explore options that could potentially yield better returns.Would it make sense to:Sell the property outright and invest in higher cash-flow opportunities?

I would be delighted to connect if you have any questions or if you're considering exploring the Kansas City market.

Options ive looked at are the Burrrr method, house hacking with fha living in the property for a year doing small upgrades and forcing appreciation refinance then rent and repeat that every year until we reach our goal.

The last month I have been exploring house hacking options as an easy option.

If rents are under market, consider small increases or exploring additional ways to optimize your cash flow, such as taking on another roommate.Refinancing is also worth exploring in the future.

And given that, in a major city, there are hundreds of houses put on the market weekly, you need a method to efficiently screen properties to make sure they won't bleed money before you spend time analyzing, touring them ect. 

Post on Craigslist seems like another 'guru' but I cannot put my finger on it, he seems to be following Cherif method, not sure what to make of it.

there are of course more creative strategies to reduce that up front outlay, or recoup your capital, like, say, the BRRRR method. but they are time and energy intensive and certainly not hands-off. 

I am exploring passive investment opportunities in storage funds and would appreciate any insights or recommendations.Never heard of them.
