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 $319,000. 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: $319,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$25,520
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 VA range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical VA recording and deed issuance cost.: −$250
Holding costs (8 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$479/month.: −$3,828
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): −$95,700
Maximum bid: $190,302

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 COMPUTED MAX BID IS AN ALL-IN CEILING AND VIRGINIA ADDS A BUYER'S PREMIUM ON TOP OF THE BID. Both sales in our own inventory charge one: Shenandoah County's judicial sale adds 10% of the high bid, and the City of Chesapeake's nonjudicial sale adds 15% plus a $200 recordation fee. Bid at most maxBid ÷ 1.10, or ÷ 1.15 where the terms say 15%. Bidding the computed figure itself overshoots the ceiling by the whole premium — on a $20,000 parcel that is $2,000 to $3,000 of profit that was never there. closingCosts is a flat dollar field and cannot hold a rate; read the auctioneer's terms for every sale.
Virginia assesses at full fair market value, so the ratio is honestly 1.0 — but it is the value as of the last general reassessment, not today. Counties reassess every four years, or every three by vote of the board, and a county of 50,000 or fewer may stretch to five- or six-year intervals (§ 58.1-3252). Most of the Virginia inventory sits in exactly those small counties, so an assessment here can be half a decade old in either direction. Agricultural, horticultural, forest and open-space land enrolled in use-value deferral is assessed on its use value rather than market value, which understates it sharply on development-fringe parcels. A 1.0 ratio is not a licence to treat the assessment as an appraisal.
