For my post, I was addressing the ability to instantly increase your cash flow for free over refinancing at cost if that is important to you.

But it doesn't mean just because the article was featured that I instantly had all this business. 

“We’re super excited, because ultimately it allows us to have more control over our future destiny when it comes to actually displaying listings, building out consumer tools, building out agent engagement, taking our Express Offers platform and being able to provide an instant offer option,” Sanford said.

That instant cash flow.

For my investing preferences I learned a while ago that I wanted cashflow and instant equity (all while not having to compete with the public/retail buyers who shop the MLS). 

If the latter is chosen, the federal, state, and local governments get their pay day, and that pay day is much larger (if a 1031 exchange had been used) than the cumulative paydays that they would have seen had they taxed the investment vehicle from day 1 on every sale/repurchase of property, because the tax deferment program allows for larger and larger investments over time.

Other suggestion would be to turn off instant booking so you don't run into that issue.

If you’re investing without instantly considering all 3 of those things this very moment, you deserve to get wiped off the board.

You will stand out even more because young adults from the beginning of time struggle to get on the phone or go down to a brick and mortar location and make this type introduction.You will instantly look more serious about your goal.

First one being if the community is FHA approved once the lender sees that the HOA reserves are low they can demand a 10% down payment which I've seen kill a few deals instantly.
