Context

9% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 9501
184 of 2,072 units vacant year-round, around or below the national tract average. A further 123 unit(s) are vacant seasonally — second homes rather than distress — so a headline vacancy rate quoted elsewhere for this tract will read 15%.
Tract median home value $168,800
Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.
Median household income $49,004
Tract median household income. Sets what a local buyer can finance.
Elevation 977 ft
Ground elevation at the parcel. Compare with the FEMA base flood elevation where one is published.
91% owner-occupied
Owner-occupied majority, which usually means a retail resale is possible.

Proximity is measured from the parcel’s recorded location, which for most parcels is an assessor centroid rather than a boundary — treat these as figures to verify on a site visit, not as survey distances.

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.

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

Maximum bid: $4,623

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.
