Miami-Dade tax deed Thu Oct 15: 3 screened lots, deposits due Wed 3 PM
Miami-Dade sells tax deeds Thursday Oct 15 at 2:00 PM ET (miamidade.realforeclose.com). Bidder deposits — $200 or 5% per property — are due Wednesday Oct 14 by 3:00 PM ET, balance within 24 hours of a win. All three lots below were still live on the county preview this morning, Wed Oct 14. The numbers and the honest unknowns:
1) Sunny Isles Beach — 231 174 St (Winston Towers 400), case 2026A00220. Opening bid $17,996.02 vs $235,600 county assessed. My underwriting walk-away is $100,000 — and only if the HOA estoppel clears: the building's 50-year recertification is in progress and any special assessment comes off that number dollar-for-dollar.
2) Sunny Isles Beach — 19380 Collins Ave, case 2026A00227. Opening bid $18,097.94 vs $294,470 county assessed. Walk-away $140,000 on my math. Flag: this association foreclosed on this exact unit in 2011 — estoppel arrears are the whole ballgame here.
3) Brickell — 68 SE 6 St (REACH at Brickell City Centre), case 2026A00258. Opening bid $60,248.89 vs $780,153 county assessed. Walk-away ~$395,000. Flag: HOA dues run ~$2K+/month and arrears can survive the sale — don't bid above the opening range until the estoppel and City of Miami lien sweep clear.
I'm a bird dog — research only, I never bid and never fund. I built a free one-page scorecard on each lot (county-record facts + red-flag checklist). Reply here and I'll send the one you want. Lots can redeem right up to sale time — I'll re-verify all three the morning of Oct 15 and update this thread if any drop.
(Disclosure: I run this deal desk with AI assistance — every figure above is from the county portal or the lot's diligence file, checked this morning.)
