A buyer buy box is the set of criteria a cash buyer uses to decide what deals they want, including location, price, property type, repairs, and exit strategy.

Buyer Buy Box explained

Tracking buy boxes makes disposition faster and more relevant. Instead of blasting every deal to every buyer, the team can match a contract to buyers who already said they want that type of property. Buy boxes usually include zip codes, beds and baths, maximum rehab level, price range, target ARV, rental versus flip strategy, and closing speed. Clean buy-box notes also help acquisitions know what to pursue in the first place.

Example

A buyer wants 3/2 brick rentals under $140,000 in two suburbs. Your dispo manager sends only deals that match, improving response rates.
