Hello Investors,

Welcome to Issue #89 of Dealsletter - We’re back with 4 new investment opportunities in this week’s Dealsletter — and this time, we're blending fast flips with creative long-term plays. Leading off is a 99% ROI cosmetic flip in San Jose that’s worth offering over asking to secure. We’ve also got a VA assumable duplex in San Diego with an effective mortgage under $1,300/month — one of the most powerful house hacks we’ve seen. You’ll also find a classic cosmetic flip in Missouri and a distressed Oakland duplex where Section 8 rents make the BRRRR play shine. Let’s get into it.

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!
