The custom builders in the area are very competitive and are offering pretty inexpensive builds vs comps.If the lot was purchased recently for 20K and the turn-key cost to build is $200K, after I close on the house (bank said appraised value would be 220K), would a new buyer have problems with it getting appraised over $220K even with other comps selling for 300K+?

@Jarrod Patterson  Depends on the reason for the temporary need from a local, also you have to screen financials some of these people may not be viable candidates even if they think they are.   

It seems to me like most of the bidders have no idea what they are even bidding on, even with tax deed sales.
