Hello Investors,
Welcome to Issue #79 of Dealsletter — We are bringing the heat with four standout opportunities. Whether you're an experienced flipper looking to scale or a buy-and-hold investor seeking reliable cash flow, this issue has something for you. We're especially excited about a mid-century Walnut Creek flip with expansion potential and a duplex flip in San Jose projecting a 300% ROI. Let’s dive in.
🚨 Note on Numbers: All calculations for investment properties are based on a 25% down payment and a current interest rate of 6.90%, unless otherwise stated. For house hacks, we assume a 5% down payment with PMI at 0.4% and a 6.28%(FHA) interest rate. We do the math so you can focus on what matters – the deals!

You’re not just flipping a home—you’re creating an income-generating compound.

The main home gets mid-range upgrades, and the ADUs unlock the full ARV potential.
