A below-market duplex found through direct mail — bought at 60 cents on the dollar, rehabbed for $28k, and refinanced to pull out $41,000 in equity while keeping $640/month in cash flow.

An off-market triplex sourced through a wholesaler relationship — closed in 19 days, all three units rented within 45 days, and cash flowing $980/month with the highest cash-on-cash return in the entire portfolio.

A short-term rental purchased at the exact moment everyone said Airbnb was dead — now averaging $189/night at 78% occupancy and netting $2,100/month after all costs including a co-host management fee.

A distressed single-family home that nearly got walked away from twice — renegotiated $17,000 below the first offer, rehabbed for $29,500, appraised at $118,000, and returned $52,000 in cash at refinance.
