Hello Investors,

From a fully renovated 4-property portfolio generating strong cash flow, to a massive 297% ROI opportunity on a Walnut Creek flip, to a 26-unit in Kansas City with an eye-popping 12.3% cap rate, and a Hayward house hack that’s perfect for an FHA buyer. Whether you're into BRRRR, long-term holds, or flips with serious upside, Issue #72 brings the heat.

🚨 Note on Numbers: All calculations for investment properties are based on a 25% down payment and a current interest rate of 6.80%, unless otherwise stated. For house hacks, we assume a 5% down payment with PMI at 0.4% and a 6.24%(FHA) interest rate. We do the math so you can focus on what matters – the deals!

👉🏼 Stay up to date: What’s the latest on mortgage rates?

📈 The Stats: Each listing comes with detailed investment metrics like cap rates, GRM, and special financing options where available.
