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 $404,000. 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: $404,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$32,320
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 OH range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical OH recording and deed issuance cost.: −$150
Holding costs (14 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$606/month.: −$8,484
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): −$121,200
Maximum bid: $238,446

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 FIRST SALE HAS A MARKET-VALUE FLOOR, WHICH IS WHY MOST OHIO PARCELS SHOW NO BID ROOM. R.C. 5721.19(A) lets the court order a parcel sold "without appraisal, for not less than either of the following: (1) The fair market value of the parcel, as determined by the county auditor, plus the costs incurred in the foreclosure proceeding" — or the total of the finding plus costs. Where the court picks the first, the minimum bid is market value and there is no discount to win. A max bid below the opening bid is the statute working, not a data error.
Farmland enrolled in Ohio's CAUV programme is assessed on its current agricultural use value rather than market value (R.C. 5713.31), and the two differ by an order of magnitude on development-fringe land. Dividing a CAUV assessment by 0.35 returns roughly the agricultural value, not what the parcel would sell for — it understates, which is the safe direction, but it makes a genuinely valuable parcel look worthless. Most of the Ohio inventory sits in rural counties where enrolment is common, so check the auditor's record for a CAUV flag before accepting a low derived ARV.
