Missouri Fix & Flip FAQs
Missouri foreclosure timeline?
Non-judicial via deed of trust (most common). 60-120 days from notice to sale. Among faster non-judicial states.
MO contractor licensing for flips?
Missouri does not license general contractors at the state level. Kansas City and St. Louis have local registration requirements. Lenders typically require licensed GC documentation.
St. Louis-specific considerations?
Vacant Building Department (VBD) program in St. Louis City affects vacant property inventory. Title issues from prior tax foreclosures common. Get extended owner's title insurance.
General fix & flip questions
How is the loan amount calculated?
Two caps apply at the same time: a percentage of purchase price (often 85–90%) plus 100% of rehab budget, AND a percentage of the as-completed value (ARV), typically 70–75%. The lower of the two caps governs.
Do I need experience to get a fix and flip loan?
No, but pricing improves with experience. Most lenders tier rates by completed flips in the last 24–36 months: 0 flips, 1–2, 3–5, 6–10, 10+. First-time flippers with a strong contractor and reserves can still qualify.
How are rehab funds disbursed?
Rehab is held in escrow and released through a draw process — typically 3–6 draws based on completion of scoped line items, with an inspector verifying each draw.
