GA caveats

The 12-month period is a minimum, not an expiry — the redemption right persists until you serve barment notice, so budget for that process.
A redeemable deed conveys no right of possession during the redemption period.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Georgia assesses at 40% of fair market value (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-7). Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
