Other answers I have seen are that we carry to the first mortgage but the end buyer pays the premium, or some other option.

We spend zero time comparing against other options.  

You’re in a strong position with multiple viable options.

If you’re hesitant about listing on the MLS due to the slow market and concerns with a traditional realtor, consider off-market options like investor networks, Facebook groups, or BiggerPockets forums where buyers specifically look for properties with income potential. 

Hi Kyle,Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

I'm assuming if this was an option everyone would already be doing it but I am just curious from a professional to understand why this isn't an option.I received a question from a friend that was somewhat similar to mine above which got me thinking. 

They offer some good options for sellers that want to move property quickly. 

Hello, I am new to bigger pockets.

Your third option is really appealing and quite under-discussed.

For example, if you're looking for scalability and strong cash flow, multi family investing in areas with a solid price to rent ratio could be a great option.
