💰 This Week’s Deals: The Cash Flow Combo
Foreclosures, tenants, and upside baked into the price.
This week’s deals are built for high-upside hunters: a legal duplex in DTLA operating as six cash-flowing units, a massive 8-bed foreclosure with a value-add basement, a pre-foreclosure townhome priced way under its debt, and a 4,200+ sq ft Los Angeles property going for just $73/sq ft.
From in-place income to major square footage discounts, this batch is all about leverage, scale, and opportunity.
Free readers get the DTLA duplex. Paid members get all four.

Distressed Deals of The Week
🏠 Distressed Townhome with a $3.8M Twist
This 4-bed, 2-bath South LA pre-foreclosure has a tax value around $437K — but a past due loan north of $3.8M suggests a wild overleverage play gone wrong. If it reverts to REO, savvy investors could snag nearly 1,800 sq ft of upside at a steep discount.
🏠 8-Bed Duplex with Hidden Bonus Space
This tenant-occupied foreclosure comes with 1,820 sq ft above grade plus large unfinished basements under both units. With LAR2 zoning and a $550K ask in a hot rental area near USC Med and Downtown, there’s serious value-add potential for investors who can manage tenants and unlock extra units.
💰 6 Units, 7.16% Cap, and Room to Build
This centrally located duplex near DTLA is quietly operating as a 6-unit rental on an RD1.5 lot — pulling in cash flow now with serious development potential later. At a sub-$235/sq ft basis and a cap rate over 7%, it’s a rare blend of yield and upside in LA.
🏗️ 4,200+ Sq Ft in LA for $73/Sq Ft?
This pre-foreclosure monster in South LA is all square footage and upside — if you’ve got the vision (and the crew) to bring it back to life.
127 E 88th St, Los Angeles, CA 90003
🏚️ Pre-foreclosure townhome with 4 beds, 2 baths, and nearly 1,800 sq ft of space — currently in default with over $3.8M in unpaid balance.
This 1968-built unit sits on a 5,200+ sq ft lot and is assessed at $437K, offering a possible entry point far below replacement cost for those who can navigate the auction process.
💡 Pro Tip: A 2022 loan of $2.8M and a recent Notice of Sale suggest this might’ve been part of a portfolio loan or flip gone wrong.
If it reverts to REO, this could be a stealth opportunity for a low acquisition price in South LA.

Zero cooling system; assume HVAC and other updates needed.

🏆 Best Play
Ideal for:
Courthouse auction regulars looking for high-stakes opportunities
Investors prepared to negotiate post-auction or directly with lender
Experienced rehabbers focused on larger multifamily/townhome layouts
Why it works:
If this resets post-auction or hits the market as REO, a well-timed offer could create massive spread — especially with market rents nearing $3,800/month.
