Most real estate investors chase returns. Few also aim to lift people out of poverty. Samuel Sells does both. 

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis is joined by Samuel Sells, a retired Air Force officer and the founder of Impact Growth Capital. With a background in global health and over $2 billion in completed development projects across five continents, Sam now applied his expertise to one of America’s most urgent challenges: the affordable housing crisis. Through innovative public-private partnerships and a $300 million impact fund, he’s proving that you can generate strong returns while rebuilding communities and transforming lives.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • What the affordable housing crisis really looks like – and why public housing is failing.
  • How Samuel structures low-risk, high-impact investments backed by government contracts and subsidies.
  • The power of combining for-profit development with nonprofit services to help families achieve economic mobility. 
  • The unique advantages of investing in Opportunity Zones and impact-focused real estate funds.
  • Why Samuel believes making money and doing good don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
  • And more!

Tune in to discover how mission-driven investing can deliver both purpose and profit.
