Liens that survive

Certificate stage is a lien interest. Collector’s deed process after redemption may cut off most junior private liens; federal and some governmental liens can survive. Full title search before deed petition.

Quiet title

Petition for collector’s deed is required; quiet title is often still used to strengthen insurable title on St. Louis-west inventory.

Verify before you bid

Your assumptions

After-repair value (ARV)

Override the derived estimate with real comps

Rehab budget

You cannot inspect before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition

Known surviving liens

Municipal code enforcement, special assessments, federal tax liens

Target margin — 30%

Required profit as a share of ARV. 30% is a common floor for tax-sale flips.

How that number is built

Provider market estimate of $1,341,000. This is an as-is valuation, not an after-repair one — enter your own comparable-sales figure if the property needs work.

After-repair value: $1,341,000
Selling costs on exitassumed 8.0% of ARV — agent commission plus seller-side closing.: −$107,280
Rehabassumed No rehab budget entered — assumed $0. Tax-sale parcels are sold unseen and un-inspected; this is rarely correct.: −$0
Quiet title (required)assumed Midpoint of the typical MO range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical MO recording and deed issuance cost.: −$250
Holding costs (20 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$2,012/month.: −$40,230
Surviving liensassumed Assumed $0 — not verified. Municipal code-enforcement liens, special assessments, and federal tax liens can survive the sale.: −$0

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

10%

You'd receive

$78,754

Window

365 days

MO sells liens: the expected outcome is redemption with interest, not ownership. Taking title needs a separate foreclosure after 365 days.

Quoted elsewhere as 10% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. A NOTICE FAILURE FORFEITS THE ENTIRE INVESTMENT, NOT JUST THE DEED. RSMo 140.405: "Failure of the purchaser to comply with this section shall result in such purchaser's loss of all interest in the real estate." Compliance means a title search report from a licensed attorney or title company, notice to the owner and every recorded lienholder at least ninety days before the deed may be taken, sent by both first class and certified mail, and an affidavit filed with the collector. Budget the title search and the mailings as certain costs of every Missouri position, and treat the ninety-day deadline as the hardest date in this file.
Missouri's three subclasses span 12% to 32%, so the classification matters more than the number. Dividing a commercial assessment by the residential 0.19 overstates the property by about 1.7x, the dangerous direction. Dividing an agricultural assessment by 0.19 understates it by about a third — safe, but it will make farmland look worthless. Confirm the subclass on the assessor's record before accepting a derived Missouri value.
