Investing on Long Island

Give me your buy box. I go find the deal.

Most agents send investors whatever hits the MLS and call it a day. That wastes your time and theirs. I work it the other way: you tell me exactly what you buy, the asset, the towns, the budget, the return you need, and I take that criteria to listing agents, owners, and my own network to surface off market and coming soon inventory that fits. You only hear from me when something matches the box.

How this works

First the part nobody says out loud: off market does not mean below market. Sellers who skip the open market usually want privacy or speed, not charity, and a thin deal is a thin deal wherever it surfaces. What a tight buy box gets you is first look and less competition, because I can put a specific, credible ask in front of the people holding inventory before it becomes a bidding war.

Fill out the form below. Your criteria becomes a one paragraph ask that I send to listing agents and post where owners look. When you attest that you can show proof of funds, the ask carries your close timeline, which is what makes a listing agent pick up the phone. When something fits, I bring it to you with the numbers already run against your target.

The buy box

Seven questions. The tighter the box, the better the deal flow.

1. Who you are

2. What you buy (check all that apply)

Single family Multifamily, 2 to 4 units Multifamily, 5 plus units Mixed use Commercial Land

3. Where

4. Budget and money

I can show proof of funds or a pre approval when asked. Your outreach only claims a close timeline once you check this, because every claim that goes out under Muds's name has to hold up when a listing agent calls.

5. The return you need

6. Condition and minimums

7. Timeline and anything else

Asset and money criteria only. Nothing here asks about tenants or neighborhoods by who lives there, and nothing you write that does will be carried forward. Fair housing law binds every word that goes out.

What happens after you file it

Muds calls or emails to confirm the box, because a ten minute conversation catches what a form cannot. Then the criteria goes to work: direct asks to listing agents holding matching inventory, the coming soon channels, and owner outreach where it fits. Every representation about your funds or your timeline goes out only after you have shown they are real. When a property matches, you get the address, the numbers run against your target, and a straight read on whether the deal is actually thin.
