Liens that survive

Foreclosure judgment is intended to clear most junior private liens; federal liens and certain interests can survive. Independent title and physical due diligence required.

Quiet title

Judgment of foreclosure is primary; quiet title still common for insurable title on tax-foreclosed inventory.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.

Co-pilot target using recorded auction history. Never above your maximum bid.

History sample

Median sold

$3,900

p(redeem) prior

History n=17156: median sold $3,900 is well below oracle $90,725 — target ~82% of ceiling.

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 $155,800. 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: $155,800
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$12,464
Rehabassumed No rehab budget entered — assumed $0. Tax-sale parcels are sold unseen and un-inspected; this is rarely correct.: −$0

Maximum bid: $90,725

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. Michigan's foreclosure judgment cuts off prior liens and the owner's interest, so title is comparatively clean — quiet title is often unnecessary.
