From Underwriting and Banking to Wealth and Freedom: Sam Morris’ Real Estate Journey

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Sam Morris, founder and CEO of Sunset Capital, a firm specializing in multifamily and self-storage real estate investing. With 18 years in corporate banking, Sam developed a deep understanding of underwriting and market analysis before transitioning into passive and active real estate investing.

Sam shares the roller coaster experience of his first deal as a passive investor, which took an unexpected and difficult turn. At just 24 or 25 years old, as a young father, he faced the real possibility of losing a significant investment. His journey through that challenge is a true example of navigating adversity in real estate.

Toward the end of the episode, Sam and Jamie discuss knowing when to push through hard work versus when to step back and delegate, a crucial skill for any investor or entrepreneur. Sam also shares unique book recommendations, including one that has never been mentioned on the show before.

Whether you're an active or passive investor, or simply looking to understand market conditions and investment strategies, this episode is packed with insights from Sam’s extensive financial background.
