Sam Primm built a $40 million rental portfolio in St. Louis using none of his own money. He grew up middle class, inherited nothing, and was earning $250,000 a year in sales when he and his business partner Lucas started buying rentals.
In this episode, Rafa and Sam get into why 35 rentals still left them no closer to quitting, how flipping and wholesaling paid the bills while the rentals built the wealth, and where the money actually came from: refinancing, and private lenders who turned out to be teachers and engineers.
