I wanted instant results! 

Here's why I let it goA week before I got notice she was moving, a payday lender calls to verify some type of into.

I changed my prices zero, and got an instant 9% raise.

He instantly pulls up the new flooring, and removes cabinets in the area, and removes the drywall around the leak.

The instant appreciation on that is very high and is the most lucrative deal in the state of WA.   

The return (around 10%) isn't bad but not instantly liquid.

I sus pect Allan already knows EVERYTHING we are all telling him......redfin is the garage sale that "charges you nothing" (A big misconception)....gives you instant cash on the spot for your property.....in a Seller's market.....only to find out that had you had a local realtor market the property and you had waited another weak you probably could have got about 40-50% more.

Many investors are seeing this as an opportunity for instant equity and are building, furnishing, and reselling.

I guess that's why they say the first million is the hardest, and honestly I think that's the issue in the technology age every thing is instant gratification phones, dating, food that we cheat ourselves of reaching true fulfillment. love the post though very thought provoking!!

I'd build a spreadsheet to instantly analyze each opportunity.
