Prepare a property inquiry.
Start with what you know. You do not need a polished listing or a repair estimate to describe the property.
- Location
- Share the street address and city. Add the ZIP code or neighborhood when it helps identify the property.
- Condition
- Describe its current use and known repairs. Explain what you are unsure about rather than guessing.
- Timing
- Say whether you are exploring options or working toward a particular date. Mention any constraints that affect the conversation.
- Your questions
- Ask who would make an offer, what costs and conditions apply, and how any proposed transaction would work.
Sending an inquiry is not a sale agreement. Consider any later proposal separately and get answers before signing.
Tell us about your propertyDefine your buying criteria.
A useful buy-box explains your limits as well as your preferences. A potential fit is clearer when the details are specific.
- Where you would buy
- Name cities, ZIP codes, or neighborhoods. Identify areas you would exclude and how flexible your search is.
- What you would buy
- Separate the property type, such as a house or small multifamily property, from the strategy, such as renovating or holding as a rental.
- Budget and condition
- Give your purchase range and describe the repairs you can consider. Use notes to distinguish purchase budget from repair budget.
- Readiness and timing
- Explain when you hope to buy and what information you would need to evaluate a potential opportunity.
A profile does not guarantee a property or financial outcome. Evaluate the facts and terms of each potential transaction independently.
