Site & surroundings

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

32% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 9501
201 of 632 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.
No road frontage — nearest is Thomas Street322 ft from parcel centre
No road frontage. Reaching the parcel may need an easement across someone else's land; check the plat for a recorded right of way.
Runway1.9 mi from parcel centre
Approach paths extend far beyond the runway itself — check which end the parcel is under.
Railway line0.3 mi from parcel centre
Active freight track. Noise, vibration and horn use at crossings — check where the nearest crossing is before assuming quiet.

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

Assessed $3,640 ÷ 0.2 assessment ratio. Arkansas assesses real property at 20% of true, actual or market value (A.C.A. § 26-26-303(c)); § 26-26-304 fails a county whose ratio study falls outside 18–22% of full fair market value. Measured across 1,669 Arkansas parcels carrying both figures, assessed/market was exactly 0.2000 on every one.

After-repair value: $18,200
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$1,456
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 ~$75/month.: −$1,350
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): −$5,460
Maximum bid: $5,646

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.
