Bought it as a potential long term / medium term rental but now are looking to just flip it!

I wanted to gather some wisdom from local investors on what neighborhoods/zip codes likely have the highest growth/appreciation potential for the coming years.

The problems with the project mostly stemmed from the crawl space work, which required shoring, replacing structural members, leveling floors and insulation. 

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?

., through short-term flips, leveraging existing assets (my 17 properties), and potentially engaging in mixed-use developments—the model ensures that there’s sufficient cash flow to meet investor obligations and fund community programs.Gradual Affordability:Driving down rental prices is a long-term goal.

They’re often motivated to sell before construction begins due to noise, traffic, or potential rezoning.

We stopped using it because we realized we had missed out on opportunities where neighborhoods were on the verge of gentrification or there was an opportunity to invest in a project with potentially great returns and no change in the demographics.

Sounds like if you know and follow the rules you should not only be OK but pretty well insulated from competition (people swarming in and oversaturating)

I'm glad to help with info, or potential rental estimates for properties you're thinking about on the STR side.
