Now I have 32 units and the most recent one I purchased was an 8 unit in an A area but not a great cash flowing property(taxes are pretty high) But it's a turnkey building and I'll probably have 50k instant equity the day I close.

For those who don't know, iBuying is essentially an instant offer solution for individuals that want to sell their homes. 

NOT ALL but many.. so there is no reason to sell properties below market value like was done 5 to 8 years ago.the only way to get instant equity these days is to be a value add or distressed property buyer who spends thousands and its their job.. pretty tough to do remotely.. its a completely different model.so whatever you pay for a property that is market value.. you do want to run comps though some out fits that targeted Australians will defiantly sell for ABOVE market value.. so its important to get true comps on the properties before pulling the trigger

I was thinking more in terms of things to break the ice and to build an instant report with the sellers.

It's a great way to start off, so long as you have reliable and ethical investors feeding you off-market deals that have instant equity.

If so, how does one balance those bookings, especially with instant bookings? 

Steve,If you are truly looking to do buy and hold I wouldn't worry too much about finding a deal with instant equity right now.

I have always responded as quickly as possible, but it just can’t happen instantly due to remote management, finding contractors, getting bids, making a selection, getting on the contractors schedule, etc.

Usually it's not an instant cash-flow prospect, no matter what the marketers tell you.
