Define Your Buybox—Or Keep Chasing Ghosts

If you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, you’ll waste months (or years) sifting through deals that don’t work. Too many agents say they want to invest but never pull the trigger because they’re looking at everything instead of focusing on the right thing.

Your Buybox Includes:

 Location – What markets or neighborhoods are you targeting?
 Price Range – Based on financing options and cash flow needs.
 Property Type – Single-family, duplex, short-term rental, small multifamily?
 Cash Flow vs. Appreciation Play – Are you optimizing for monthly cash flow or long-term equity growth?
 Condition & Strategy – Turnkey, value-add, BRRRR, flips?

Action Step:

Write down your Buybox. Get clear on it. This eliminates distraction and helps you quickly recognize a yes or no deal. The best investors move fast because they already know what they’re looking for.
