Hello Investors,
Welcome to Issue #74 of Dealsletter — This week, we’re highlighting a proven flip prediction that paid off big, plus four fresh deals from Las Vegas, Kansas City, San Diego, and Escondido. Whether you’re looking to house hack, flip, or grow your rental portfolio, we’ve got something tailored for every investor.
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 6.60%, unless otherwise stated. For house hacks, we assume a 5% down payment with PMI at 0.4% and a 6.03%(FHA) interest rate. We do the math so you can focus on what matters – the deals!

📈 The Stats: Each listing comes with detailed investment metrics like cap rates, GRM, and special financing options where available.
Featured Flip Success: We Called It
Remember 3313 Betty Ln in Lafayette, CA? We told you it would go at least $200,000 over asking—and we were right.
📌 Address: 3313 Betty Ln, Lafayette, CA 94549
💰 SOLD Price: $1,265,000 (vs $995K list)
🏡 Units: Single Family
🏦 ROI: 142%

What we said about it:
Located in the highly desirable Lafayette Valley Estates, this original 1950s ranch home sits on a 10,000 sq ft lot. With strong demand, low local inventory, and top-tier schools, this property is likely to sell above asking. Full interior rehab + market trajectory in Contra Costa = excellent flip potential. The projected ARV of $1.85M combined with only ~$192K in rehab makes this a rare flip with a projected $290K+ profit.

Apple Is Coming for the Smart Home — And Fast
Apple’s rumored Face-ID door lock and smart display hub are more than just new products. It’s a clear signal: they’re going all-in on smart home automation.
The tech giant is doubling down on the smart home, the $158B industry that’s growing 23% annually.
And with Apple’s entry, investors are looking for the next breakout company - and potential acquisition target.
They’re chasing Google (acquired Nest, $3.2B) and Amazon (acquired Ring, $1.2B).
History shows: when Apple plays catch-up, they go big.
And there’s one startup perfectly positioned to benefit.
With 10+ patents, distribution in over 100 Best Buy stores, and a Home Depot launch in 2025, RYSE is built for a breakout.
Early investors in Ring and Nest saw life-changing returns.
Now, RYSE is open at just $1.90/share.
