Your assumptions

After-repair value (ARV)

Override the derived estimate with real comps

Rehab budget

You cannot inspect before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition

Known surviving liens

Municipal code enforcement, special assessments, federal tax liens

Target margin — 30%

Required profit as a share of ARV. 30% is a common floor for tax-sale flips.

How that number is built

Provider market estimate of $870. This is an as-is valuation, not an after-repair one — enter your own comparable-sales figure if the property needs work.

After-repair value: $870
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$70
Rehabassumed No rehab budget entered — assumed $0. Tax-sale parcels are sold unseen and un-inspected; this is rarely correct.: −$0
Quiet title (required)assumed Midpoint of the typical AR range ($2,500–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,750
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical AR recording and deed issuance cost.: −$38
Closing contingencyassumed Publication, service and filing incidentals. Not a lien allowance — surviving assessments are parcel-specific and are not covered by this.: −$500
Holding costs (18 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$75/month.: −$1,350
Surviving liensassumed Assumed $0 — not verified. Municipal code-enforcement liens, special assessments, and federal tax liens can survive the sale.: −$0
Target profit (30% of ARV): −$261
Maximum bid: -$5,099

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. COSL conveys by limited warranty deed and warrants nothing about title. A quiet title or confirmation action is needed for marketability, and title insurance being unavailable is expressly not grounds to cancel the sale.
Costs exceed what the property can support at your target margin. There is no bid at which this clears.
