The only thing that expired domains without backlinks bypass is a common sense.
There's no "sandbox" as in "my domain can't rank for 3 months".
First months, whether your site is new or big expired domain with 1K RD are shit. They will most of the time always be shit. As the time passes, your content is getting older and around 2 - 3 month mark, if you did everything well, the site will receive a bump in Serps.
Then another comes after maybe 6 months, then another in like 9 etc. The bigger your domain in terms of backlinks, the bigger the bounce.
If you want to call it sandbox, be my guest.

I bought an expired domain by mistake for my most recent project. It already had 1 DR 81 relevant link, and a few aged social media profiles, like Twitter and Facebook.
The site was indexed before I even had chance to finish all the back end stuff, and with only 2 posts am already getting clicks and impressions. All this inside 3 weeks.
More luck than anything else, but previous history of the domain must of helped. I've built tons of sites over the years and this is the quickest I've seen things take off. Now I just need to work out how to replicate it.

If the expired domain you get has no penalties and had some good backlinks pointing to it, it should rank better than a newer site starting off as it already has some backend juice to help it progress.
Not sure why you would buy an expired domain with no backlinks (would there even be a point?)
My sites generally start getting impressions and rankings within the first 3 months (proper keyword research and proper on-page SEO - especially if they already had backlinks from an expired domain purchase)

Getting AdSense approved these days is a piece of cake. I have seen month old sites getting approved.

I noticed you love answering expired domain related questions, do you set alerts for them?

Sure, I even have text alerts set, so they wake me up at 3 am, so I can be first to answer the questions, that are covered here 50 times a month.

It takes like 2-3 weeks for google to remove a website from its SERP and remove its backlink then it is send to sandbox.

This is interesting, I lost all rankings on expired domain after couple of weeks and all my posts so far are indexed but still no ranking after one month. Anyone can confirm this?
