Couldn't we draw from the HELOC just one day before payday thereby accruing just one day's worth of interest?

The instant I left  the property, it would not work and customer service was horrible.  

With income taxes over half of Americans see them as a pay day.

There comes a point when instant equity outweighs low or negative cash flow.

. $100k of instant equity makes me happy.

Otherwise the data can be top notch, but if you cant covert the data to leads to contracts to assignments to a payday, then it's useless.

Everyone wants instant gratification:(Same applies to newbies and real estate investing in general.

It doesn't reflect on the quality of the current tenants, or whether or not they know the home is for sale.It just a way to keep people who are not serious buyers from traipsing in and out all the time.Most people think that occupied properties is a plus because of "instant cash flow."

For example, if you have "Houston" in your list, anytime someone writes Houston, you'll get an instant notice.

@Samir Womack  For stronger offers, there are quite a few credit cards offering instant approvals these days.
