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

Rehab budget

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

Known surviving liens

Target margin — 30%

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

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

10%

You'd receive

$4,464

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.
