Surplus overages are the money left over when a tax deed property sells at auction for more than the taxes owed. The Surplus Overages Course is a module from Tax Deed Genius.

Meet Jackie Jackson
I’m Jackie Jackson, a real estate investor, coach, and mentor, and a combat veteran. I’ve served almost 18 years in the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve as an Engineer Officer taking care of the government’s real estate. One of my biggest moments in my military career was when Lieutenant General Patrick D. Frank called me the “Iron Major.” I’ll take it.
For most of those years, I kept my civilian career and built my real estate business at the same time. Keep Your Career. Build Your Real Estate Portfolio.™ The Army taught me to plan, manage risk, and follow a process, and that’s exactly how I teach tax sales.
I served 2 years on the Executive Board of the Central Florida Realty Investors Association (CFRI), located in Orlando, FL, and founded Tax Deed Genius in 2018. I now teach new and experienced investors how to invest in tax liens, tax deeds, and real estate auctions.
Questions about tax lien and tax deed investing
What’s the difference between a tax lien and a tax deed?
With a tax lien, you pay a property owner’s unpaid taxes, and if they pay the county back, you collect the interest or penalty your state allows. With a tax deed, you’re bidding on the property itself after the county sells it for unpaid taxes. Each state uses liens, deeds, or a mix of both. Either way, start with the public records, because cheap doesn’t mean it’s a deal.
Can I start if I’m brand new to real estate?
Absolutely. Start with Tax Deed Genius Lite, my 2-week course for beginners, and learn the terms you’ll hear from the county before you spend a single dollar. That’s how my Tax Deed Geniuses get started. One of them, Caroline H., later wrote: “I recently won my first tax deed property and added $60k to my net worth.”* Never Bid Blind.™
Do you teach every state?
I do, all 50. Pick your states by your goals and budget first, not by whatever’s closest to home. Goal Before Geography.™
Do you offer 1-on-1 coaching?
I do, and coaching is personal for me. My first deal cost me $120,000 because I tried to figure it all out alone. I call it the most expensive PhD I ever earned in what not to do. In 2013, my first year with a mentor, things changed fast, and that’s why I coach today. Book a free strategy call and we’ll talk about your goals and whether 1-on-1 coaching or a course fits you better.
