The Titanium Vault hosted by RJ Bates III
RJ Bates III, affectionately referred to as the Viking Wizard by his students, started his real estate investing career in 2014 after attending a real estate education program that put him $65,000 in debt. RJ contracted his first deal he found on the MLS and wholesaled it for a $7,500 assignment fee. That was the end of his former life and the beginning of his venture into becoming a real estate investor. Since that moment, RJ has become an influential figurehead in the real estate investing industry. He has successfully purchased and sold over 2,000 properties all across the USA including wholesale deals, rehabs, rentals, owner finances and short term rentals. One of his passions is being the host of The Titanium Vault Podcast where he interviews the top real estate investors. He has won back to back Closers Olympics earning him the reputation as the King Closer! Finally, RJ and Cassi DeHaas, his partner, have started their education platform called Titanium University.

Everyone talks about compound interest. In the stock market. You've heard the story A penny doubled every day for a month turns into over $5 million. But what no one talks about is the compound effect of skill, of experience, of relationships. That's the real reason why wholesaling real estate gets easier over time and why most people quit right before it does. We're taught to think about compounding in terms of money, stocks, savings, passive income. But compounding applies to everything your skills, your network, your mindset, your ability to close, your speed to execute. It hits way harder in business than it does in the stock market.
Speaker 1:Think about this you and me could be dropped in any city in America with no money, no connections, just phone and internet, and we would find a way to make money. Why? Because my skills have compounded over the course of time. I know how to find deals, I know how to talk to sellers, I know how to evaluate a market, I know how to move with speed. The return on those skills aren't linear, they're exponential and every rep you put in multiplies your ability to execute.
Speaker 1:Let's take last week for an example. I got two signed contracts in one day where I placed zero calls to sellers. I didn't do any follow-up. I didn't do any lead generation. Here's the reason why I was able to do this, and I'm not talking about my team, I'm talking about individually. Rj Bates got these properties signed under contract. It's the compound effect of what I have built over the course of time the reps that I put in months and even years ago. The reps that I put in months and even years ago. One of the examples was a property that I got under contract in Texas where I originally talked to this seller in 2022 and then again in 2023. I actually sent a contract to this seller in 2023, during the 50-50-50. Now this seller ghosted me. Now most people would write this off as a loss, including myself. Now, we continued to follow up with this seller for months and months. We never gave up on the deal, but that wasn't what led to us getting the property under contract. What led to us getting the property on a contract, what led to us getting the property on a contract is the fact that the seller's timing and their motivation actually finally came to fruition, to where they could sign the contract.
Speaker 1:See, we look at things and we make assumptions as to why sellers would ghost us, why they would make this decision to ignore us. We normally assume worst case scenario. Something must have happened. They must have sold it to someone else, competition must have come in, offered them the equity protection program and gave them more money. That's not what happened. They lost multiple family members to death. The emotional burden that overcame these sellers made selling the property at the time irrelevant and, even with all of our follow-up efforts, it wasn't worth their time and energy and resources to respond to us.
Speaker 1:But as we continue to work, that foundation that I have established over the past decade in this industry, where we have built out the processes to continue to follow up with sellers, regardless of whether or not they're ghosting us, led to me receiving an email saying we're ready. We're ready to sell you our property. Would you be willing to offer us the same amount that you were willing to offer us? Two years ago, I reanalyzed the deal, set the contract and got it under contract. Same thing happened on a similar type deal where it was a much shorter time frame. It was from a live video, where I called sellers and I had made an offer. Now, in this scenario, my team had continued to reach out but was never able to get a hold of the seller. Now we ask ourselves all the time why would sellers not respond to us if they're motivated to sell? Well, it makes sense to us, except for the fact that motivated sellers have a lot of times many, many things going on in their lives besides just that piece of real estate. And so, when the timing was right, that seller reached back out to me and said I would like to accept your offer. So two different sellers were able to reach back out to me. I was able to get signed contracts with nothing more than the foundations that compound effects of what I've built inside of my wholesale operation. So this is the reason why that after a decade I would be able to get better results than what maybe you can get right now. But that's what you're striving for each and every day. You are striving to build where your business will be able to perform at the same level where mine is today.
Speaker 1:Now let's talk about buyers. When you're new, you're begging for attention from them, but over time, a solid core group of three to five reliable buyers become your shortcut. They will close fast, they won't waste your time, they'll trust your numbers, they'll wire funds without drama, and that's compounding in action Every relationship you build today makes your next 10 deals easier. Every solid dispo becomes a faster dispo the next time. You're not just making money, you're building leverage money. You're building leverage.
Speaker 1:Now here's the wild part Eventually, people will start calling you Leads from social media, jv requests, private money offers, coaching invites, podcast spots. Why? Because every time you show up with value, you compound your reputation and that turns into opportunity, which makes the next level easier to hit. Now the key for you is, as these opportunities come your way, to stay focused on the consistent actions that have opened these doors. It's not to chase each and every time you take yourself away from the actions that you're taking today to build that compound effect. The reverse will happen. You take yourself away from future revenue, future opportunities, future sellers calling you from the actions that you could be taking during those times. So just because you're opening up doors and there's opportunities that now exist, be careful.
Speaker 1:Understand for every action that you take, there is an opposite reaction inside of your business. Let's say you and I start from $0 today and the goal is to hit $50,000 a month. Same goal, same economy, but my path to get there will be 10 times faster, and it's not because I work harder, but because my foundation is compounded at this point. It's not because I work harder, but because my foundation is compounded at this point. My systems are in place, my closes are tighter, my network is stronger, my confidence is proven to myself. And that's what happens when you stack years of focused effort.
Speaker 1:You want to win in business, relationships, fitness, wealth then you need to fall in love with boring consistency. Talk to anyone that is succeeding in those areas in their life fitness, wealth, business. They will tell you. It is about establishing your business. Through the consistent actions that you take early on in building your organization, you set the standard. You're creating that culture inside of your business. So you have to show up every day, make that one additional dial, shake one more hand and establish one more relationship, send one more follow-up to a seller. This is how compounding starts. It's slow and it's invisible, but then all at once, you start wondering why things feel different. It's probably because the compounding is starting to kick in. The key is for you to stay in the game, stack your skills and build your network, because the first 12 months are the slowest and the hardest, and then it gets scary how fast it moves.
