Site & surroundings

Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.

20% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 4702.02
390 of 1,931 units sit empty outside seasonal use. High vacancy is an exit-risk signal rather than a price signal — the question is whether there is a buyer at any price, not what the price is. A further 269 unit(s) are vacant seasonally — second homes rather than distress — so a headline vacancy rate quoted elsewhere for this tract will read 34%.
Sloped ground — about 16.7% grade
Meaningful grade. Site work costs rise sharply and septic approval is not automatic.

Context

Outside the 1% annual chance floodplain.
Tract median home value $87,800
Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.
Median household income $36,409
Tract median household income. Sets what a local buyer can finance.

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 $2,500. 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: $2,500
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$200
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): −$750
Maximum bid: -$4,088

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.
