We were only into the deal for $128K (85K purchase + 1K closing + 42K rehab), so we received all the money we had put in, plus a small payday.

I am always not so sure about this instant equity.. value is willing buyer willing seller.. so they are paying what its worth not less a developer is not going to sell a property for less than what they can get for it on the open market..  

If you have time ahead of you then bleeding money every month for that eventual big payday might be good.

The issue with SEO is that it is not instant.

We realize not every property is an instant cash flow but we are stuck in figuring out if it’s our analysis of a deal or if in fact they really aren’t deals at all. 

Most everything else is instant gratification.

We have our Instant book setting to only be people who have positive guest reviews from other hosts.  3.

If you build your own models in Excel - you can use it in combination with Quickbooks or another bookkeeping package.We use Excel to provide instant access to things like an up-to-date personal net worth statement, balance sheets, and for ratio analysis across our portfolio at any point in time.Business partners and lenders both appreciate having access to the info in the format that they prefer so we keep worksheets for each in their preferred format cross-linked to our cash flow tabs.

I agree on the instant booking, you should have to eat your mistake.

There are so many ways to pick up a good deal without instant equity. 0% down owner finance, subto at a low interest rate and monthly payment.
