Welcome to Issue #84 of Dealsletter - your weekly breakdown of real estate investment opportunities that actually pencil out. This issue features two incredible Bay Area house hacks — one with luxury upside in El Cerrito and another in Martinez with a vacant 3-bed unit ready for you to move in. We're also spotlighting a 10.8% cap 4-plex in Missouri and a Nashville triplex with $3,500/month in cash flow. As always, every deal includes financing assumptions, expenses, and real cash flow.

Note on Numbers: All calculations for investment properties are based on a 25% down payment and a current interest rate of 6.92%, unless otherwise stated. For house hacks, we assume a 5% down payment with PMI at 0.4% and a 6.27%(FHA) interest rate. We do the math so you can focus on what matters – the deals!

Why This is a Great Investment:

You’ve got an in-law unit generating $2,350/month and light cosmetic updates could easily push the ARV to $1.65M+. With great schools, Bay Bridge views, and serious value-add potential, this is a dream owner-occupant investment.
