They have been told that instantly they will close dozens of deals a month and cash big checks.

I wanted something to provide high-level returns instantly without heavy calculation to figure out if it warranted deeper analysis. 

It changes the relationship exponentially, and I would also argue that taking the initiative to travel to the market (and the team members knowing that) instantly increases your credibility in their eyes.  

If we're talking about buying at a big discount with instant cash flow and instant equity (instant appreciation) vs. buying at or near retail, with negative cash flow and hoping for future appreciation, then I'll take the cash flow and instant equity every time.

I want to say thanks to BP members who helped me out with almost instant replies whenever I have questions.

It is currently cash flowing $650/month.Currently, my goal is to add as much passive income as possible so naturally I am saving for another rental property.I’m just thinking, what if instead of buying another property, I just splurge and payoff the $50k mortgage and instantly raise my cash flow to $1,150 (owning the property outright).

It also gives them instant street cred and they use it as a way to market themselves as an experienced guru. 

I will be gaining a huge amount of instant equity for future investment purchases.

Distressed sales may sell below a market value, for lending, that sale price is the value, you can not claim instant value as your equity, not in that market period. 

For example -- if 1 of the 3 members happens to find a deal that yields 50k in instant equity, would that somehow be divided up unequally to give the finder a larger share?
