After-repair value: $186,395
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$14,912
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 ~$280/month.: −$5,033
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): −$55,919
Maximum bid: $106,244

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.

AI risk brief

grok-4.5

Uninspected 8-acre SFR tax deed in Boone County, AR, with a modeled ceiling of $106,244.23 — but every jurisdiction rule is an unverified state default and surviving liens are assumed at $0.

Risk flags

criticalSurviving liens not researched — assumed $0
Deal analysis books surviving liens at $0 with an explicit warning that municipal code-enforcement liens, special assessments, and federal tax liens can survive a tax deed. The county conveyance is a limited-warranty instrument that warrants nothing about title, so any survivor comes out of your pocket after you already own it.
criticalNo Boone County research — all sale rules are state defaults
Redemption timing, contest window, deposit rules, quiet-title practice, and surviving-lien treatment are inherited from Arkansas defaults and marked unverified for this county. If Boone’s local administration differs on notice, deed issuance, or post-sale challenges, the entire risk model shifts.
highQuiet title required; cost and duration unverified locally
Quiet title is carried at $3,750 (assumed midpoint of a typical AR $2,500–$5,000 band, ~5 months) and is treated as required for marketability. Title insurance unavailability is expressly not grounds to cancel, so you can be stuck funding cure on a clock and budget that were never confirmed for Boone County.
highRehab assumed $0 on an unseen 2023-built SFR
Building condition is unknown and the parcel cannot be inspected before bid; rehab is still modeled at $0. Any structural, finish, septic, well, or access defect lands entirely outside the $24,232.27 cost stack and directly erodes the $55,918.5 projected profit at ceiling.
highOccupancy and possession unknown
Owner of record is listed, but whether the dwelling is occupied, vacant, or used seasonally is not in the data. Post-deed eviction, holdover occupancy, or personal-property removal can extend the 18-month holding stack already modeled at $5,032.67 and delay any exit.
mediumAccess and physical configuration unconfirmed
Legal description is the portion of the NW SW NE lying south of Arkansas Highway 14 (8.00 ac); driveway permit, legal access point, flood or setback constraints, and whether the 2023 structure is complete and certificated are all unknown. Access or utility gaps are not covered by the $500 closing contingency.
mediumExit costs and ARV are soft
Provider market estimate of $186,395 is labeled as-is, not a true after-repair value, and selling costs of $14,911.6 are an 8% assumption. If comps do not support that figure or commission/closing differs, the $106,244.23 maximum bid and $55,918.5 profit at ceiling compress quickly.

Before you bid

Pull the full Boone County tax collector and clerk file for parcel 018-00587-002: delinquency years, certificate/deed form used, and any published notice or judgment docket tied to the 2026-08-25 sale.
Run a current title search (or at minimum county recorder + circuit clerk + federal NDMS/PACER name search on SEELEY / LESLIE / WILLIAM SEELEY) specifically for IRS liens, state tax liens, code-enforcement liens, special assessments, judgments, and mortgages that may survive a tax deed.
Confirm with the Boone County collector/clerk in writing whether post-sale redemption exists locally despite the state default of none after 4:00 p.m. the last business day before sale, and what deed form actually issues.
Ask Boone County planning/building and the health department whether a 2023 SFR on this tract has a certificate of occupancy, approved septic/well, and legal highway access/driveway permit off Hwy 14.
Physically observe (roadside) occupancy, utilities, structure completeness, and any posted code or condemnation notices before bidding; budget rehab explicitly instead of the modeled $0.
Price a Boone County quiet-title engagement (filing fees, service, publication, timeline) rather than relying on the assumed $3,750 / ~5 months.
Verify flood zone, highway right-of-way takes, and any easements on the legal description portion lying south of Hwy 14 with GIS and recorded plats.

Analysis

This is an Arkansas tax-deed bid on 8 acres south of Highway 14 in Lead Hill, Boone County, parcel 018-00587-002, land use SFR with a 2023 build year and no inspectable building detail. Deal analysis sets total costs at $24,232.27, a maximum bid of $106,244.23, and projected profit at ceiling of $55,918.5 against a provider value of $186,395, with $102,708.28 of room above the modeled cost stack. The engine recommendation is bid at medium confidence.

Treat that model as a thin spreadsheet, not a title opinion. County research status is explicitly **no county-specific research**: redemption (none after sale under the state default), statute cites, returns, and related notes are all unverified for Boone. Surviving liens and quiet title are both marked **NOT RESEARCHED** for this county; the cost sheet still assumes surviving liens of $0 and quiet title of $3,750 with ~5 months and $5,032.67 of holding costs over 18 months. Engine warnings state outright that COSL-style limited warranty conveys nothing about title, quiet title or confirmation is needed for marketability, and lack of title insurance does not unwind the sale.

The expensive failure modes here are not a mild miss on the $186,395 figure — they are a surviving federal or code lien, an occupied or unfinished 2023 dwelling with $0 rehab booked, blocked or unpermitted access off Hwy 14, and a quiet-title path that runs longer or costs more than the assumed line. Until lien search, clerk practice, possession, access, and building status are checked against this specific parcel, the ceiling and profit figures are not bid authority; they are an upper bound that collapses as soon as any assumed $0 line turns real.
