Quiet title

Often recommended before resale/insurance on tax-title purchases.

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 $499,000. 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: $499,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$39,920
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 OR range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical OR recording and deed issuance cost.: −$200
Holding costs (3 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$749/month.: −$2,246
Surviving liensassumed Assumed $0 — not verified. Municipal code-enforcement liens, special assessments, and federal tax liens can survive the sale.: −$0

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 ASSESSMENT RATIO IS AN OBSERVATION, NOT A LAW, AND IT MOVES EVERY YEAR. Oregon has no statutory ratio. The statewide figure went from 0.526 to 0.536 in one year because assessed values grew faster than market values, and it will move again when the Department of Revenue publishes the next report each summer. An asOf that has gone stale matters more here than in any other state in this file — elsewhere a stale date means a statute might have been amended, here it means the number is simply out of date.
Oregon county assessors publish BOTH a real market value and a Measure 50 assessed value for every parcel, and the ratio here converts the second into the first. If the figure captured for a parcel was already the real market value, dividing it by 0.536 inflates the property by about 1.9x — the single easiest way to get an Oregon number badly wrong, and it fails in the unsafe direction. Beyond that, 0.536 is a statewide aggregate and no individual parcel is the aggregate: a property that has not changed hands or been improved since 1995 sits far below it, while one recently built or partitioned is reassessed toward market and sits near 1.0. Treat a derived Oregon ARV as a starting point and check the assessor's own RMV, which is published.
OR has 3 counties on a different assessment ratio (41001, 41039, 41047). No FIPS was supplied, so the statewide ratio was used — pass `fips` if this parcel is in one of them.
