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 $27,999. 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: $27,999
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$2,240
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 NM range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical NM recording and deed issuance cost.: −$250
Holding costs (26 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$75/month.: −$1,950
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): −$8,400
Maximum bid: $11,759

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 DEED IS SUBJECT TO EARLIER PERFECTED INTERESTS. § 7-38-70 conveys the former owner's interest as of the date the tax lien arose, 'subject only to perfected interests in the real property existing before' that date. A mortgage or judgment perfected before the lien arose survives the sale. Establish the lien date and search back from it before treating survivingLiens as zero.
The ratio is honest, but NMSA 1978, § 7-36-21.2 caps annual increases in the valuation of residential property at 3%, so a long-held home's assessed value can sit well below market — the California Proposition 13 problem under a different statute. The cap is removed when the property changes ownership, so a recently transferred parcel tracks market far more closely than one held for decades. Get comparable sales before treating a ratio-derived ARV as a valuation.
