Site & surroundings

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

FEMA flood zone AE — special flood hazard area
1% annual chance flood (100-year), with a published base flood elevation. Insurance mandatory with a federally backed loan. Flood insurance will be required for a federally backed mortgage, which is a permanent cost on any resale and can exceed the payment on a low-value parcel.
34% owner-occupied
Predominantly renter-occupied tract — the resale pool leans investor, which caps price at what the rent supports.

Context

Elevation 1334 ft
Ground elevation at the parcel. Compare with the FEMA base flood elevation where one is published.
11% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 9506
139 of 1,217 units vacant year-round, around or below the national tract average.
Tract median home value $70,400
Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

25%

You'd receive

$6,421

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.
