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 $243,000. 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: $243,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$19,440
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 GA range ($3,000–$7,500, ~6 months).: −$5,250
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical GA recording and deed issuance cost.: −$350
Holding costs (8 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$365/month.: −$2,916
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): −$72,900
Maximum bid: $142,144

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

20%

You'd receive

$28,429

Window

365 days

A 20% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

redemption stays open indefinitely until the purchaser forecloses it by statutory notice (barment)

Quoted elsewhere as 20% 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 12-month period is a minimum, not an expiry — the redemption right persists until you serve barment notice, so budget for that process.
