If you’re not already following us now’s the time—these deals don’t wait.

Note on Numbers: All calculations for investment properties are based on a 25% down payment and a current interest rate of 6.89%, unless otherwise stated. For house hacks, we assume a 5% down payment with PMI at 0.4% and a 6.45%(FHA) interest rate. We do the math so you can focus on what matters – the deals!

Berkeley Hills Flip – Panoramic Views + 113% ROI
📍 Address: 494 Cragmont Ave, Berkeley, CA 94708
💰 Price: $995,000
🏠 Units: Single Family – 4 Beds / 3.5 Baths / 2,582 sqft

Why This is a Great Investment:
Offers are due Monday 6/17 — and this one’s all about the views. Located in the prestigious North Berkeley Hills, this 1930s-era home is livable as-is but ready for a mid-to-high-end transformation. With a rooftop deck, original charm, and panoramic Golden Gate views, it’s the kind of flip that commands big resale margins.
You’ll need to come in strong (we modeled at $95K over asking), but even then, this deal projects a $208K profit and 113% ROI. And comps in the $2M range back it up.
