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.
