Every number shows its work.

Real estate math shouldn't be a black box. Hover over any term for a plain-English definition, then open the proof to watch a metric build from rent and expenses (step by step) to the figure you're betting on.

New to underwriting? Start with the verdict and the basics are right there. Been at it for years? The full derivation is one tap away. The same tool grows with you.

What it does

One tool that does the underwriting, exceptionally well.

The full metric stack

Every number that decides a deal, computed the industry-standard way.

Cap rateCoCDSCRNOIIRRBreak-even

BRRRR refinance, done right

Model the bridge, the rehab hold and the DSCR cash-out refi. See exactly how much capital you pull back out, including the case where you leave nothing in and cash-on-cash stops applying.

30-year projections

Rent growth, appreciation, expense creep and loan paydown: year by year, with a hypothetical-sale return at every exit.

Your deals on every device

Deals are computed in your browser and saved to your account: encrypted in transit and at rest. Start on one computer, finish on another.

Chrome extension

Capture a listing from a supported listing site and send it straight to a pre-filled Quick Analysis, no retyping.

Lender-ready export

One click produces a two-tab Excel workbook with live formulas and a full amortization schedule, ready to hand to your lender.

Your buy box

Set the rules once. Score every deal against them.

A buy box is the set of thresholds that define which deals you'll buy and which you won't. Dial in yours (DSCR floor, minimum cash-on-cash, max all-in cost as a share of ARV), and BuyBox judges every property against your standard, not a generic one.

Questions

The questions investors actually ask.

Do I need to install anything?

No. BuyBox runs in your browser, so you can underwrite your first property in seconds. Sign in from any computer and your deals are right where you left them.

Does it actually tell me whether to buy?

It scores every deal against your buy box (the DSCR floor, cash-on-cash minimum and all-in-to-ARV cap you set), and marks each metric strong, workable or below. The verdict is against your criteria, not a generic benchmark.

Where do the numbers come from, and can I trust them?

You control every input. Listing details pre-fill from the address, rent comps come from Rentometer, and every metric shows its full derivation: hover any number for the formula. Nothing is hidden behind the scenes.

Can it handle a BRRRR or refinance?

Yes. Model the bridge loan, rehab hold and DSCR cash-out refi, including the case where the refi pulls all of your cash back out and cash-on-cash stops applying, because nothing is left in the deal. Then project the hold for up to 30 years.

Can I get the analysis out of BuyBox?

One click exports a two-tab Excel workbook with live formulas and a full amortization schedule, ready to hand to a lender or partner. Your data is never locked in.

Is my data private?

Your deals are encrypted in transit and at rest, isolated to your account, and never sold or used to train models. The analysis itself runs in your browser, not on our servers. You’ll need to be signed in to save your work.
