The Toolkit
$49 · PRO $79
Checklist · Bid worksheet · Letter pack · PRO adds the worked deal files
Most tax sale losses are not bad parcels. They are good parcels bought at a number that never worked. The Toolkit is the process we run before any bid: check the parcel in the right order, do the math backwards from a realistic resale, and write the ceiling down before the sale starts.

Also available in our Etsy shop, PineAndBrass.
Ten checks in the order we run them, cheapest information first, with the deal-killer flags marked and a decision box at the end. If a parcel fails an early check, you stop spending time on it.
Live formulas for the buyer's premium, the advertising fee, back taxes, closing and holding costs, and the county deposit rule. Set your maximum all-in budget and it solves for the highest hammer bid you can pay.
The letters we send owners: first contact, follow up, and the offer letter itself, with the fields we fill from the county record.
Three worked examples carried through the full process, checklist to final number, including one we walk away from.
PRO also includes lifetime updates: when we revise a document, PRO buyers get the new version.

The Toolkit starts once you have a parcel in front of you. For the season itself, the NY Tax Sale Deadline Calendar tracks the county sale dates and registration deadlines that decide which parcels reach your desk.
A lot comes up at a county sale and the hammer falls at $1,900. That is not the price. Add the buyer's premium, the advertising fee, the back taxes that come with the parcel, recording and closing, and the cost of holding it until it sells, and the real number is $5,027.50 all in. The worksheet exists so you see that figure while you can still do something about it, which is before you raise your hand.
This is a worked example built for teaching, using the Toolkit's own documents. It is not a record of a purchase.
The 10-Minute Pre-Bid Check is the one-page version of the routine, free on Gumroad. If the one-pager earns a place in your process, the Toolkit is the full version of the same system.
Want the worksheet's math without the spreadsheet? The max bid calculator works backwards from your resale price to your maximum hammer bid in your browser, every line shown, free.
