In this video we teach about Tax Sale Investing in the State of Missouri.  Missouri is a tax lien state.  In a tax lien state, a priority lien against the property is sold to an investor giving the investor the right to collection the back due taxes and earn interest.  In the event this lien does not get paid, the investor could foreclose it to gain ownership of the property.  This is different from a tax deed state where the ownership of the property is sold.
