Liens that survive

Foreclosure judgment extinguishes most prior private liens; federal liens and some state/local interests can survive. Special assessments and occupancy create practical risk.

Quiet title

Judgment is primary clearing step; some insurers still want quiet title on tax-foreclosed residential parcels.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.

Deal analysis

Your maximum bid

$169,301

Walk away above this. Projected profit at the ceiling: $85,800 (30% of ARV).

Opening bid $4,505

Room to bid $164,796

Confidence: medium — ARV from a provider market estimate, not comps.

History-guided suggestion

$58,234

Under max by $111,067

≤ oracle maxBid

Co-pilot target using recorded auction history. Never above your maximum bid.

History sample

17156

Median sold

$3,900

p(redeem) prior

History n=17156: median sold $3,900 is well below oracle $169,301 — target ~82% of ceiling.

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 $286,000. 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: $286,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$22,880
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 ~$429/month.: −$4,719
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): −$85,800
Maximum bid: $169,301

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.
