Take the money and run or in it for the long haul???

I close on Friday on two buildings (30 storage units) and a small office space.  Currently ill-managed with 27% vacancy...while the area is about 98% occupancy on storage.

Anyhow, have another buyer interested in picking it up from me after closing.  Guessing could potentially pick up $20+k...property is closing at $243k, so it's not a huge investment to begin with.

...or stick with original plan and clean it up a bit, with projected rents producing $700-900/month net income after pretty conservative numbers.  

I was looking for a cash flow property as I have a couple I'm holding for their equity positions...don't cash flow well and don't need to dump them right now for the cash.

Also, I'm in the military and out of the area, so doing management through family "partnership."  I'm sure it will work, but not without moments of relational stress.  I've been looking forward to learning by doing and getting involved in commercial...of course extended family is a bit more supportive of taking the money and running...to the next project.

I'm sure a bunch of you have run into this situation before.  Curious on your thoughts...

Thanks and have a blessed day!

if you were in the area, I'd say gotans execute your plan. Being out of state and doing things by proxy with family members, I'd say take the wholessale fee and run. 

Btw, thank you for your service!
