One short email a week: the 3–5 best-screening Greater Boston multi-families that crossed our desks — each with cap rate, cash-on-cash, the rent band, and the catch. Screened by the operators behind 1,500 doors.
Sourced the way we found 255 Newton St and 37 Franklin St — before the crowd.
The deals. 3–5 properties that survive our quick screens — on-market listings worth a second look, and the occasional off-market note when one can be shared.
The numbers. Every deal arrives pre-analyzed: price, realistic rent band from our operating book, cap rate, cash-on-cash, and the honest operating costs listing sheets leave out.
The catch. Every building has one — the 20-year-old roof, the below-market tenant, the flood-zone corner. We name it, because you'd find it eventually anyway.
"I'm not ready to buy yet." Perfect — reading a season of analyzed deals is the fastest way to calibrate your eye before you spend a dollar.
"Won't these be picked over?" The screens are ours, not a syndicated feed — most of these deals look ordinary until the numbers are run. That's the point.
"What's in it for you?" Some readers eventually want an operator on their side of a deal. That's the whole business model, and it only works if the feed is genuinely good.
Profitable Properties Boston helped me find an off-market condo in East Boston. They completed the rehab affordably and found me a high-paying tenant quickly. I refinanced and cashed out over $100k in equity in a year, doubling my initial investment.
