Are there other creative options I haven’t considered?

I actually just bought a duplex that was on the market last month in cleveland. 

It was nice to see you actually tried to answer the question.

Then, more advanced stuff that those without licenses will have a tough time with: active real estate agents working the area - so i can call them to preview my house - in case they run into potential buyers they know of in their office, Then, I have Listingbook software on my I-phone ( Works with MLS data- by subscription)- that actually knows the number of searches of homes in any given area - so I can blast a promotion of my house to all the agents that have clients looking in the area (not just my subdivision -unless that is what I want), and...for the investor in me: track all the mortgages recorded against the property, so I know how low of an offer I can make - based on the mortgages on the property.

But in reality, holding on too tightly limits growth, causes burnout, and actually costs you money.Why Letting Go Helps Your Bottom Line✅ Frees Up Your Time – Instead of handling every single tenant issue, you can focus on strategy, acquisitions, and big-picture decisions.✅ Allows Specialists to Do Their Jobs – A leasing agent will lease faster than an investor juggling 10 different tasks.

However, if you want long-term stability and predictable payments, refinancing might be a better option, especially for larger projects.

Dismissed, actually more like Marxism!

It could be helpful to you (lenders will want to see lease agreements) and it is good for the family member (they actually could do a program where them paying rent increases credit). 

.), so I'm seeing what other options there may be. 

I may not even go the partnership route but I am interested in just learning about all the options I have.
