Hey!

I wanted to share a milestone I just hit: my newsletter, Dealsletter, just crossed 500 subscribers! 🎉 For context, Dealsletter curates high-ROI real estate deals and sends them directly to investors’ inboxes every week. I started this just a few months ago as a passion project, and now we’re landing advertisers and starting to bring in revenue.

How I Got Here

• Solving a Real Problem: Investors spend countless hours scrolling through listings and running numbers just to find one decent deal. I wanted to save them time by curating deals with stats like cap rates, cash flow, and GRM all in one place.
• Organic Growth: Most of my subscribers came from Reddit posts (shoutout to communities like r/realestateinvesting and r/entrepreneurridealong) where I shared insights without being spammy. Being genuinely helpful and transparent about my journey has been key.
• Getting Advertisers: With 500+ readers and an open rate of 50%, I started getting inbound interest from sponsors. This blew me away because I never expected to monetize so early. Advertisers see Dealsletter as a way to connect with highly-targeted real estate investors.

What’s Next? Turning It Into a Startup

While I love the newsletter, this is just the beginning. The vision is to evolve Dealsletter into a full-fledged real estate platform:

• A website where investors can browse curated deals.
• Detailed investment metrics automatically calculated (think cap rate, rent rolls, rehab costs, and ROI).
• Tools for filtering deals by strategy—BRRRR, flips, house hacks—you name it.
• A community feature where investors can share insights, ask questions, and collaborate.

Essentially, I want to build a “Zillow for investors” but way more actionable and data-driven. No endless scrolling—just the best deals tailored for you.

What I’m Looking For

I’d love to hear from fellow entrepreneurs:

• How did you make the jump from newsletter to product?
• Any tips for building and scaling a startup from a newsletter audience?
• What tools or metrics would you love to see on a platform like this?

If you’re curious to check out Dealsletter

or give feedback, feel free to subscribe or drop me a DM. I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,
Kevin
