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.

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

25%

You'd receive

$2,022

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.
