Buy and Hold Mixed-Use Real Estate Closing In Berkeley, CA

Buy and Hold Mixed-Use Real Estate: A Smart Investment Strategy for Long-Term Cash Flow and Growth.

HanoverMC closed a successful mixed-use real estate transaction for a local investor in Berkeley, CA 94702 with fractional private benies funds. Berkeley is known for its strong rental demand, walkability, and vibrant urban economy. This well-located property includes a blend of residential units and ground-floor commercial space, ideal for a buy and hold strategy focused on stable cash flow and long-term appreciation. The deal was structured with a 1st mortgage of $780,000, representing just 64% of the ARV (After Repair Value), and included no prepayment penalty, offering the investor both flexibility and equity from day one.

Berkeley continues to benefit from high-density zoning trends, especially in neighborhoods close to public transit and downtown corridors. With a growing population, limited housing supply, and proximity to major employment centers like UC Berkeley, Emeryville tech hubs, and San Francisco, the city remains a top choice for mixed-use and infill development. The area's progressive planning policies and strong job market contribute to low vacancy rates and high rent growth, making Berkeley real estate a prime target for investors seeking both residential and commercial rental income.

This transaction highlights how HanoverMC helps investors unlock opportunity in Berkeley’s competitive real estate market, structuring smart financing and sourcing high-performing assets in high-demand, mixed-use neighborhoods.
