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 $191,000. 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: $191,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$15,280
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 MI range ($2,000–$4,000, ~9 months).: −$3,000
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical MI recording and deed issuance cost.: −$300
Holding costs (11 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$287/month.: −$3,152
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): −$57,300
Maximum bid: $111,969

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. Michigan's foreclosure judgment cuts off prior liens and the owner's interest, so title is comparatively clean — quiet title is often unnecessary.
