Two further subdivision transfers were dropped because BCPA classifies the $245,000 transfer as a "Disqualified Sale" and the $240,000 transfer as an "Excluded Sale." ARV anchor: $440,000–$540,000, midpoint ≈$490,000. This is a comp-based estimate, not an appraisal; the county just value is a mass-appraisal tax figure.

Three-case deal math — illustrative buyer-replaceable assumptions

AssumptionConservativeBaseAdverse
ARV (resale)$459,000$490,000$420,000
Rehab ($/SF on 1,776 SF)$106,600 ($60)$88,800 ($50)$133,200 ($75)
Exit costs (8% of ARV)$36,720$39,200$33,600
Holding ($1,500/mo)$9,000 (6 mo)$9,000 (6 mo)$13,500 (9 mo)
Purchase-side costs (est.)$5,000$5,000$5,000
Target profit$60,000$60,000$60,000
Max bid ceiling$241,680$288,000$174,700

These are screening examples, not property-condition findings. Replace ARV, rehab, exit-cost, holding-cost, and target-profit inputs with your own diligence before using a ceiling. Ceiling = ARV − rehab − exit − holding − purchase costs − target profit. Sensitivity: every ±$25,000 of ARV or rehab error moves the ceiling ±$25,000 (≈9% of the base ceiling). Opening bid is 12% of the base ceiling. Set your own walk-away number before the auction.

Risk flags and missing facts

Call

INVESTIGATE. The spread between the $33,771 opening bid and even the adverse-case ceiling ($174,700) is wide, and recent same-subdivision resales support the ARV range. What would move this to pass: auction-specific lien/HOA/estoppel findings acceptable to the buyer and title professional, plus evidence of interior condition (photos, drive-by, permit history). What would move it to reject: auction-specific title research identifying unacceptable lien, HOA, estoppel, or municipal-charge exposure; structural damage visible at a drive-by; or an occupied property with holdover risk you are not priced for.

What this is: screening research prepared from public records, to help you decide whether a property deserves deeper diligence before bidding. What it is not: a title search, an appraisal, legal or tax advice, or a promise of profit. Auction status and public records can change at any time — verify all facts with the county, a title professional, and your own advisers before bidding.
