Liens that survive

Upset: mortgages and many judgments survive. Judicial: free and clear of most private liens after notice; federal tax liens require separate analysis.

Quiet title

Common after Upset; still frequently used post-Judicial before resale finance.

Verify before you bid

Your assumptions

After-repair value (ARV)

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.

Before you bid

The county published no assessed value for this parcel, no property provider returned a market estimate, and no comparable-sales figure has been entered. Enter a comparable-sales estimate below and every figure on this page recalculates — the engine needs one number, not a full appraisal.
