I love when an agent says "investor opportunities, instant cash flow", then they don't even have the current rent amounts listed or the lease terms.

The appraisal just came back and I’ve got instant equity because the appraisal came in higher than my purchase price.

Secondly, the extra $5k you have to come up with yourself - EVERY time - eats into the benefit.Hint: The useful purpose of applying for a HELOC is to gain you instant CASH (to invest)!

Angel,The 2nd lien programs I offer all allow for AVMs(automated valuation model), they provide a value instantly and you'll know how much you can borrow instantly without having to pay $500 for an appraisal just to maybe get nothing.Zach

For new listings, allow a one night booking, but do not do Instant Book. 

I’m a realtor and have completed a CRM on final build so based on a Comparative Market Analysis I would have instant equity upon completion of the build and could sell or refinance. 

The rent roll was so close to 1% of list price (which in my opinion is too high to start with) that I was instantly interested. 

That would instantly change my mindset from skepticism into excitement.

I'm sure I'm missing some other options, but none come instantly to mind.

The annual returns for example are an instant red flag.
