    Tax Lien Investing: 13-18% Secured by Real Estate w/ Stephen Morel

    Banks have earned 13 to 18% on unpaid property taxes for 100 years. Here's how tax liens work. Every year, over $20 billion in property taxes goes unpaid in America, and investors buy billions of that debt from counties as tax liens. The returns are strong and secured by real estate, but 50 different state rulebooks have kept the game mostly in the hands of hedge funds and banks. Stephen Morel is a 20-year title attorney out of New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina flooded his home, he built a title insurance program that put roughly 12,000 abandoned properties back into productive use. Now he's founder of JurisDeed, a platform built to make tax lien investing accessible to everyday investors. In this episode: How a tax lien works, and why it's like buying a mortgage from the countyWhy about 90% of tax liens pay back with interest, and only about 1% end in foreclosureWhy state-by-state laws keep most investors outHow Stephen uses AI to build legal tech where "mostly right" means you loseRapid fire: the lie investors tell themselves, his first hire, and his biggest time saver Guest: Stephen Morel, founder of JurisDeed and host of the Innovative Investor podcast Links: Get on the JurisDeed waitlist (closed beta): https://jurisdeed.comListen to Innovative Investor: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-innovative-investor-podcast-property-debt-wealth/id1877715388 #TaxLienInvesting #TaxLiens #RealEstateInvesting #PassiveIncome #TaxDeeds #AlternativeInvestments #RealEstateAttorney #TitleInsurance #PropTech #AIinRealEstate #HurricaneKatrina #NewOrleans #InvestingForBeginners #RealDealChat Work With RealDealCrew If you’re already closing deals but your intake, follow-up, or visibility feels inconsistent, here are two ways to go deeper: Take the Deal Intake Assessment See how resilient your current operation actually is. → https://assessment.realdealcrew.com Book a Fit Call If you want to explore what a fully system-driven deal flow looks like, let’s talk. → https://realdealcrew.com/book LIKE • SHARE • JOIN • REVIEW WebsiteApple PodcastsYouTubeYouTube MusicSpotifyAmazon MusicFacebookTwitterInstagram

    AI and Real Estate: Why Rentals Are Now a Must w/ Dustin Heiner
