Selling a commercial loan in Missouri

Missouri is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A trustee's sale can complete in roughly 30 to 60 days after the required publication. A one-year redemption is available only if the lender buys at the sale and the borrower posts a bond with advance notice — so it is rarely exercised. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.

Process

Foreclosure in Missouri

Missouri foreclosures are non-judicial via the deed of trust, with a trustee's sale after published notice. The limited, bonded redemption right is seldom used, so the process is fast and final for most commercial credits.

Selling the note instead

A note sale transfers the loan to a buyer for cash, removing the timeline, the legal cost, and the risk of ending up as the owner of the property.
