Liens that survive

HOA/POA liens can survive the tax sale in Texas if the association recorded its lien before the sale and the taxing authorities failed to join/notify it in the foreclosure suit — check deed records for recorded association liens before bidding.

Quiet title

Not legally mandatory, but title companies generally require a completed suit-to-quiet-title (with a court order) before insuring, since the redeeming former owner's rights and any un-joined lienholders create real title risk until cleared.

Verify before you bid

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 $304,000. 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: $304,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$24,320
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 TX range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical TX recording and deed issuance cost.: −$400
Holding costs (7 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$456/month.: −$3,192
Surviving liensassumed Assumed $0 — not verified. Municipal code-enforcement liens, special assessments, and federal tax liens can survive the sale.: −$0

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

25%

You'd receive

$45,372

Window

730 days

A 25% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

homestead and agricultural-use property (2 years); all other property is 180 days

Quoted elsewhere as 51% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

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. The 180-day vs 2-year window turns on the property's use at the time of sale, which the sale list does not state — treat any homestead-looking residential parcel as potentially 2-year.
