Just an instant boom to a country's economy. 

If prices spike, the gas company can instantly pass the increased price on while the electric company is much slower in passing costs on so that means less chance of a surprise $400 heating bill in the winter and better chance of always getting the rent paid on time.

Those first two exculpatory clauses the OP mentions would likely be voidable and thrown out in court if challenged under most states rental laws instantly.

. :)  when you have large run ups or build from ground up and have instant 100 to 200k equity it makes a ton of difference in your life.. you don't really need as much trailing income. 

This low-maintenance, instant cash-flow property will kick off my real estate investment portfolio, with future properties to be added in years ahead.

The cashflow on our rental property is currently not significant, and we are self managing, but we are willing to take the risk currently as the market continues to appreciate and rents continue to climb year over year.My recommendation would be to find a SFH with an area that you could close off to rent out on Airbnb, or find a duplex (harder) that you would be able to house hack while you live here, and cashflow when you leave.If your goal is to create passive income quickly and avoid house hacking then I would suggest saving your capital for a market that could provide some better instant returns for you.Good luck!

I don't care if you have to spend $25 to instantly wire it, or what. 

I would not mind to invest on new construction in the area as by the end of its project completion, the properties would already appreciate and can give me instant return, or equity if I decide to hold on.

I thought both of these perspectives were super helpful for the young, instant gratification type folk that we (including myself) are.

With so much competition the old-fashioned Telephone above all remains the best form of a comforting and personal way of instant communication.
