About Jackie Jackson<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I’m Jackie Jackson, Dr. Jacqueline Jackson on paper. I’m a real estate coach, a tax deed and tax lien investor, a bestselling author, and the founder of Tax Deed Genius. I’ve been investing in real estate since 2006, and I teach new and experienced investors how to buy tax liens and tax deeds in all 50 states.<\/p>\n

I’m also a combat veteran and a Major in the U.S. Army, retiring November 2026. Most of what I teach in real estate, I learned by doing it while holding down a full-time job.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Where my story starts<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Before real estate, I spent about 10 years in banking and mortgages. I worked my way up the corporate ladder at two Central Florida credit unions to Assistant Vice President – Branch Manager, all while I opened and managed more than 7 banking locations.<\/p>\n

On paper, I did everything right. I got the degrees, the job with a good company, and the promotions. But I was working from 6 am to 8 pm, 6 days a week. I had no time at home for my family. I was a single mother of two amazing children, and they were learning to take care of themselves because I was never home.<\/p>\n

I wanted control over what I earned, and I wanted my time back. So I took a hard look at my money story: what I believed about money, what I was afraid of, and why I wanted more of it. That changed how I made decisions, and it’s still part of how I coach today.<\/p>\n

I wrote about my money story and my faith in my book, You Can Love God and Drive a Bentley!: A Prosperity Guide Straight From The Bible<\/em><\/a>, published in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How I got into real estate investing<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I bought my first property in 2006 in Kissimmee, Florida, while I was working in mortgages.<\/p>\n

For a while I invested on my own, and made many mistakes. In 2013, I used my entire Army officer bonus to pay for a real estate mentor program. With guidance, things moved fast. That’s why I believe in coaching, and it’s why I offer 1:1 coaching to my own clients.<\/p>\n

Tax liens got my attention when I learned that every state has a law that sets the interest on unpaid property taxes. Those rates were higher than anything my bank paid on savings, and a tax lien is secured by real estate. In 2016, I left banking to invest and coach full-time. In May 2018, I launched Tax Deed Genius.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Serving in the U.S. Army<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I’ve served almost 18 years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve, most of it as an Engineer Officer. I built my banking career and my business while I served. Keep Your Career. Build Your Real Estate Portfolio.\u2122 is how I lived long before I taught it.<\/p>\n
