Sam Primm: Scaling Your Real Estate Portfolio: From First Property to Financial Freedom

The Business Credit and Financing Show

Sam Primm grew up in St. Louis, MO, in a hardworking family with an engineer father and a teacher mother. Following the traditional path, he earned his degree and secured a stable corporate job in his hometown. While the role provided financial stability, its high-pressure demands and long hours highlighted its limitations and drained his energy.

Determined to break free from the constraints of the corporate world, Sam turned to real estate as a way to build a different kind of future. The early years were filled with challenges, including failed ventures and hard-learned lessons. However, through persistence and a focus on continuous improvement, Sam developed strategies that worked. Over the next nine years, he built a real estate empire, acquiring $45 million in assets, flipping over 1,000 properties, and managing 150+ single-family rentals—all without using his own money.

Sam’s success in real estate inspired him to help others achieve similar results. He founded FasterFreedom, a platform designed to teach aspiring investors how to quit their jobs and create wealth through real estate. By sharing practical, up-to-date strategies based on his own experience, Sam equips his students with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s market. Through his work, Sam has become a trusted mentor and resource for anyone looking to break free from traditional career paths and achieve financial independence.
