  • Redemption Notices, Sheriff’s Sales & Title Insurance: Louisiana’s New Playbook - #5

    In this episode of The Innovative Investor Podcast, Stephen Morel speaks with George Jackson, co-founder of JurisDeed. They pick up their multi-part series on Louisiana tax sales at the foreclosure stage, speaking on how the redemption period has changed under new law: from automatic three-year expirations to investor-triggered six-month clocks once notices are sent. 

    Stephen walks through the shift from quiet title actions to judicial foreclosures, emphasizes the need for specialized Louisiana attorneys, and outlines the step-by-step process of sending certified redemption notices, preserving evidence, and preparing for a public auction. 

    Beyond the technical nuts and bolts, Stephen and George explore the broader impact of these reforms. By adopting a lien foreclosure model similar to Florida’s, Louisiana is positioning itself as a modern standard-bearer for tax sale investing. 

    They discuss cost-recovery limits, strategic decisions around contested foreclosures, and the newfound availability of title insurance, which can boost property values and investor confidence.

    6. Recovering Fees & Attorney Costs Under Louisiana’s New Tax Lien Law - #4

      In this episode of The Innovative Investor Podcast, Stephen Morel speaks with George Jackson, co-founder of JurisDeed, to break down the brand-new 2026 Louisiana tax lien law and its game-changing impact on fee and cost recovery. 

      They speak on why understanding recoverable expenses: everything from title searches and skip tracing during the redemption period to court filing fees and attorney’s costs in foreclosure, is critical for maximizing your bottom-line return. 

      Stephen and George kick off the conversation by outlining the three main buckets of cost recovery and explaining how the new statutes can turn previously sunk costs into reimbursable investments. 

      As they unpack each category, you’ll learn how up to $500 in compliance costs can now be recouped if properly documented, why the $2,500 attorney’s-fee cap is only the starting point, and how “good cause” provisions allow investors to petition for higher recovery. 

      They emphasize that consistent, detailed record-keeping and real-time updates are non-negotiable, and, without a systematized approach, you risk leaving money on the table or running afoul of varying judges’ interpretations across parishes. 

      By the end of the episode, Stephen and George drive home a key takeaway: operational efficiency isn’t just about cutting costs, it’s about building a process that preserves and recovers them. 

      Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just exploring tax lien investing, you’ll walk away with actionable insights on how to protect your ROI under Louisiana’s new law.

      6. Subsequent Taxes Arbitrage - #3

        In this episode of The Innovative Investor, Stephen Morel speaks with his co-founder George Jackson about the game-changing implications of Louisiana’s 2026 tax sale reforms. The duo kicks off by unpacking the concept of “subsequent taxes arbitrage,” breaking down how investors can capitalize on multi-year tax liens under the new law. 

        Stephen and George explain why, in Louisiana, those follow-on tax bills now earn a guaranteed 1% per month plus a 5% penalty kicker, regardless of any reduced interest bid on the original lien, and how that creates a stacked-return opportunity for savvy investors. 

        They also tackle practical hurdles and strategies: from securing specialized financing (with a nod to partners at Tax Sale Resources and upcoming options through JurisDeed) to evaluating whether paying subsequent taxes on a property aligns with your ROI goals and collateral condition. 

        Along the way, Stephen highlights JurisDeed’s platform as a compliance-free zone, enabling investors to focus on portfolio management rather than legal minutiae. 

        Tune in for a deep dive into maximizing returns, mastering mandatory notices, and setting yourself up for success in the modern tax lien arena.

        6. What Investors Need to Know About Louisiana’s 2026 Tax Lien Changes - #2

          In this episode of The Innovative Investor Podcast, Stephen Morel speaks with George Jackson about the sweeping changes to Louisiana’s tax lien arena on January 1, 2026. As founder and CEO of JurisDeed, Stephen walks George and listeners through the transition from Louisiana’s legacy system of bidding ownership percentages at tax lien auctions to a competitive interest-rate auction model. 

          They compare how the old “bid down your ownership stake” approach worked versus the new process, where investors start at a 1% simple monthly interest rate and bid down in 0.1% increments to a floor of 0.7%. 

          Stephen and George also unpack several other headline-making updates: tax lien purchasers must now send mandatory redemption notices (and can recover up to $500 of those due-diligence costs), a strict seven-year statute of limitations replaces the previous unlimited timeline, and redemption periods only end once notifications are properly served. 

          Perhaps most importantly, foreclosures will mirror mortgage foreclosures, a full judicial process and auction, eliminating the old quiet-title shortcut and changing how investors ultimately realize returns or surplus equity. 

          Throughout the conversation, Stephen emphasizes the need for a clear investment strategy aligned with these new rules, from portfolio construction and pre-auction due diligence to cost-recovery tactics and operational efficiencies. He and George highlight how JurisDeed’s upcoming tax-sale technology platform can help investors stay compliant, streamline workflows, and optimize returns under the modernized Louisiana framework. 


          Stay tuned for Episode 3, where they’ll talk about leveraging subsequent tax investments to offset the loss of surplus-equity opportunities.

          7. Transforming Delinquent Tax Markets Nationwide - #1

            In this episode of The Innovative Investor Podcast, Stephen Morel speaks with George Jackson, co-founder of JurisDeed, about how modern technology is reshaping tax sale investing. They unpack the century-old process by which counties sell delinquent property taxes to investors and explain why it’s long been the province of large institutions despite being technically open to any individual. 

            Stephen and George dive into JurisDeed’s mission to democratize this high-return asset class using AI and predictive analytics, simplifying cumbersome legal requirements and state-by-state variations so that more investors can participate without building in-house armies of lawyers and paralegals.

            The conversation then turns to a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision (the Tyler case) and a comprehensive overhaul of Louisiana’s tax sale laws set to take effect on January 1, 2025. George and Stephen outline how these changes (like mandatory surplus-equity refunds to homeowners) reflect a wider national trend, and why investors must now focus on operational efficiency and speed to maintain compelling returns.
