Welcome to Pillars of Wealth Creation, where we talk about building financial freedom with a special focus in business and Real Estate. Follow along as Todd Dexheimer interviews top entrepreneurs, investors, advisers and coaches. In this episode, Todd talks with Sam Bates about how he can achieve a 41% IRR for his investors with his real estate development deals.\n\nSam Bates is the founder and CEO of Bates Capital Group and co-founder and managing partner of Trinity Capital Group. Sam started his real estate journey in 2009 and has been directly involved in the acquisition, reposition, disposition, and asset management of over $100,000,000 in AUM. His portfolio currently has 749 units in Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia. Sam and his partners have roughly another 250 units in the pipeline to be developed. Sam spent over a decade in Corporate America working in various consulting, finance, and accounting positions. He quickly realized a W-2 job was not going to satisfy his desire to help people improve their lives. Once Sam started investing in real estate, he quickly realized how powerful real estate is and decided this was how he wanted to help others meet their goals and create generation wealth to leave their legacy.\n\n3 Pillars\n1.\tInvest in an asset class that you know\n2.\tLove what you invest in\n3.\tLeverage\n\nBook: The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod\n\nYou can connect with Sam at www.batescapitalgroup.com or 972-855-7654\n\nInterested in coaching?
