Features What goes into your number

Built on the real costs of owning that house

A rule of thumb like 70% of value ignores where the house is. We use the taxes, fees and insurance of the county it sits in.

County-level tax rules

Prop 13 reassessment, Save Our Homes caps, Texas millage and homestead exemptions applied to the exact county you type in.

Closing costs for buying and selling

Doc stamps, mansion taxes, graduated REET, title rate tiers and escrow fees, split between buyer and seller the way that state actually does it.

Insurance based on local risk

Wind surcharges, hurricane deductibles, flood zones, earthquake riders and wildfire uplifts priced into every month you hold.

Rehab from the listing photos

Each photo is graded Excellent to Damaged and turned into a line-item scope of work you can edit item by item.

Investor or homebuyer

Investors solve for margin, cash-on-cash or cap rate. Homebuyers get a ceiling from income, down payment and cash to close, and see which one binds.

Common questions

Is this an appraisal?+

No. BuyOrBye gives you a maximum offer based on your inputs and local cost rules. Use it to decide what to offer, then confirm value with comps and a licensed appraiser.

Where do the tax and closing numbers come from?+

From published state and county schedules: assessor effective rates, transfer-tax statutes, title rate manuals and insurance filings. Each figure shows its source and when it was last updated.

How accurate is the rehab estimate from photos?+

It is a starting point, priced with regional labor indexes. Every line is editable, and most users adjust a few items after a walkthrough.

Does it work for buying a home to live in?+

Yes. Choose "Primary home" and it switches to an affordability ceiling based on income, existing debts, down payment and cash to close.
