Site & surroundings

Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.

22% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 2
243 of 1,083 units sit empty outside seasonal use. High vacancy is an exit-risk signal rather than a price signal — the question is whether there is a buyer at any price, not what the price is.
Sloped ground — about 9.5% grade
Gentle grade — a stepped foundation or some cut and fill on a build.

Context

Elevation 975 ft
Ground elevation at the parcel. Compare with the FEMA base flood elevation where one is published.
37% owner-occupied
Renters are the majority here. A retail resale is possible but the investor bid is what sets the floor.
Tract median home value $73,100
Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.

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.

Deal analysis

Your maximum bid

$21,915

Do not bid — the numbers do not clear your margin.

Opening bid $28,480

Room to bid -$6,565

Confidence: medium — ARV from a provider market estimate, not comps.

History-guided suggestion

Pass

History + oracle say stay out or wait — do not chase.

History sample

17156

Median sold

$3,900

p(redeem) prior

History n=17156: median sold $3,900 is well below oracle $21,915 — target ~82% of ceiling.
Oracle says no-bid — suggestion is pass.

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 $42,000. 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: $42,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$3,360
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 MI range ($2,000–$4,000, ~9 months).: −$3,000
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical MI recording and deed issuance cost.: −$300
Holding costs (11 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$75/month.: −$825
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): −$12,600
Maximum bid: $21,915

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.
The opening bid of $28,479.86 is already above your ceiling of $21,915.
