What It Does
A one-page quick-reference guide that defines the 9 criteria of a real estate buy box: location, property type, property class, size and bed/bath count, age, work level, style, price point, and school district. It turns those decisions into explicit filters you can use for market research, deal screening, and direct marketing.
How to Use It
- Download and print the PDF.
- Before evaluating any deal, run it through all 9 criteria.
- Treat each criterion as a filter; do not redefine the box just to justify a cheap property.
- Use the Quick Reference Summary table at the end as your desk-side filter.
- Share your buy box definition with agents and wholesalers so they send you the right deals.
When You Need This
- Defining your buy box for the first time as a new flipper.
- Resetting discipline after chasing a deal that does not fit your criteria.
- Training an acquisitions partner or VA on what to look for.
- Building a direct mail campaign targeted to specific neighborhoods and property types.
