Why are people selling on the BP Marketplace?

[Nathan Veech]

Hey BP Forums:

I will preface this by saying I am new to real estate investing, and really excited to learn and get a better education in REI. Something I am trying to understand better is; "If a property is such a great investing opportunity (high CoC ROI, with a great cap rate), why are people selling that property?"

I understand that there are different types of investing (wholesaling, flipping etc.) that someone can pursue, and could be a valid reason, but is there anything else that I am missing here? Why sell a great deal when it could be more valuable to hold the asset earn have cash flow?

Thanks
