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 $936,000. 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: $936,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$74,880
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 SC range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical SC recording and deed issuance cost.: −$250
Holding costs (24 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$1,404/month.: −$33,696
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): −$280,800

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

You'd receive

$16,289

Window

365 days

A 3% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

Quoted elsewhere as 12% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

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 PENALTY IS CAPPED AT THE OPENING BID. § 12-51-90 provides that interest due on redemption may not exceed the forfeited land commission's bid under § 12-51-55 — roughly taxes plus costs. The tiers above are therefore a ceiling reached only by a bid at or near the minimum; a purchase at several times the minimum collects the same capped sum, so the effective yield falls as the premium rises.
South Carolina's ratio depends on the property's CLASS, and this entry uses the 6% residual. A parcel actually carrying the 4% legal-residence ratio will have its ARV understated by a third here, which is the safe direction. A manufacturing or utility parcel assessed at 10.5% is the dangerous one: dividing by 0.06 overstates its value by roughly 1.75x. Confirm the class on the assessor's record before bidding on anything that is not ordinary residential or commercial land.
