In this episode of The Innovative Investor Podcast, Stephen Morel speaks with co-host George Jackson, and the co-founder of JurisDeed. They wrap up their deep dive into Louisiana’s 2026 tax sale reforms and use it as a springboard to explore how these changes are reshaping tax-lien investing nationwide.

From managing dual-track laws to avoiding the pitfalls of one-off deals, Stephen and George stress the importance of viewing tax liens as a true asset class, complete with grading systems, tiered strategies, and disciplined capital allocation. Together, they walk through the evolution of enterprise-level portfolio planning and the tools that JurisDeed has built to simplify what was once the “least passive” investment in real estate.

You’ll learn why structuring your acquisitions with clear risk tiers, based on lien amount, property type, and location, can mean the difference between realizing those headline-making returns or getting stuck with unwanted liabilities. They also share how artificial intelligence is poised to predict redemption rates, how to prepare for seven-year enforcement deadlines in Louisiana, and why building in reserves for subsequent taxes and legal costs is non-negotiable.

Looking ahead, Stephen and George tease JurisDeed’s upcoming secondary marketplace for unredeemed liens, which promises to unlock long-stalled capital and bring new liquidity to investors of all sizes.

Whether you’re a mom-and-pop operator or running a multi-state fund, you’ll walk away with actionable insights on streamlining operations, reducing overhead, and positioning your portfolio for professional-level results.

Tune in to stay ahead of Supreme Court rulings, see how evolving state laws affect your strategy, and get the inside track on JurisDeed’s next-generation platform.
