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.
