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.

Just hold it like this, right? Ding dong. You good? You figure out how to hold the microphone? Yep. There's no buttons, nothing. Real professional. I like it. Are you gonna do the intro? Okay. We're good. Let's go. Hello and welcome to season three of Between Two Belts. I am RJ Bates the third, and I am excited to have a third season of Between Two Belts. Thank you to YouTube for renewing us. And to our sponsors. Sub two. Eric Klein's attorney. And Jamil Damjee. Not wholesaling Jamil Damjee. Pad split Jamil Damjee. Thank you to our sponsors. Today for the season premiere, we have brought in Steve Train. Hi Steve. Nice to be here. Sales Disruptors. Love it. Sales Disruptors? Yeah. Is that your new brand? Is that what it is? Yes. Follow us on YouTube and Instagram. I'm sorry. Yeah. Hold on. We should take that out and post. Um, this is not Steve Train. It can be. We're all that we all look alike, don't we? When guys, listen, I know that we have a big crew and this is a new season, but when we bring in the Asians, you need to let me know what their names are. Okay. What is your name, sir? Uh some uh sometimes I go by the name of Frank. That's kind of it. And last name Chen. Frank Chen? Yeah, C-H-E-N, not like the one on your face. Is it like your parents wanted to like pretend that you were white and then let everyone know that you're Asian with the last name? But pretty much we're like the Smiths of the Whites. Yes. Frank Chen. Yes, we're the we're the Smiths, pretty much. Yep. Frank, what do you do for a living? Uh I do my best, try to make money online as an affiliate consultant. So I work with brands that show them how to partner and create strategic partnerships with uh companies and softwares and services and add additional revenue to their top level. I'm an affiliate whore. I learned this from Pace. Big whore. Yeah. One of the best. Pace is the biggest whore. We all strive to be just like him. You know, pretty much any company that's willing to pay us for anything, sign up using code titanium. That's right. Why have you never consulted me about any of my affiliates? I'll be honest. Um, you're kind of like an a-hole, you know what I mean? So it's kind of hard to get a hold of you. You know? No one has ever said that about me. Lies. Lies. So, what does an affiliate consultant do? Uh, we help connect businesses and brands to partnerships that provide services, software, education, and uh and really services to help their students become more successful. So I I don't understand. I always have a notebook with my notes, but now that we've upgraded to these handheld dick mics, like I can't. It's worthless. So you help connect me to companies that I can then promote their services and sell for money. You actually do for some people that I work with. And uh ones being investor boots. Oh, yeah, the the porn photo guy. Yes, yes, that's a good idea. Season finale of season two. If you haven't seen that, contains a lot about porn. I eye opener. Uh another one is iSpeed to Lead, PPL company. You work with speed to lead? I do some stuff with them. And you're at the you're at the top of the list, brother. You're you're you're a big affiliate there. Yes, yes, I are. You're their biggest whore. Yes. Yeah, brother. I can sell some PPL. Yeah, we'll work for a PPL. Yes. I will do anything for you to buy leads.
unknown:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, ambition boots, speed to lead, what else? Uh, I think those are two main ones I work with, but I think like who you tell me. Who else are you? VA VAs? I work with the VA company. Of course. Egyptian VAs, yeah. Not the Philippines. Not the Filipino ones, right? Nothing wrong with them. But the Egyptians, the Egyptians. You know, season one, chock full of VA pimps. Oh yeah? Yeah. Oh yeah. And then you come in and you're like, not the Filipinos. You want to go Egyptians? Yeah, that's right. I'll try to. Why has that become a thing lately? It's like 2015 to 2020, it was like all Philippines. Now all of a sudden it's like we went to Egypt. It's like Asian fatigue, you know? There's when you just get into it, it's like, ah, VAs, everybody assumes it's the Philippines. Yeah. Like the freshened up a bit, you know, with the with the Egyptians, you know, some of the Ukrainian ones. I hear good things about them. Ukraine? Yeah, dude. This is your connection, development. Yeah, that's that's right. Yeah, that's right. Do you know Gene knows uh Putin? Uh it would it makes sense. Yeah. You know, they get they're vibe. Shout out to Putin. Yeah, yeah. So you uh you pimp out some VAs. Uh yeah, no, I pimp, I work with the pimps. I work with the pimps. Yeah. I'm the I'm the pimps pimp. Oh. Yeah. That's I'd be pimping. You're you're like top dog. Uh sure, yeah. I'm at the top of the pimp at the cut. Yeah, I like to position myself, you know, before the dirty stuff happens. Do I have to pay you? Uh no, no. My people pay me. Do I make less money because you're involved? No, that's one of my uh my rules is you do my our affiliate partners make the same. Stop the cap. So you guys don't have to worry about me being involved. Yeah. Oh. Because how do you guys care about that kind of stuff? How did you come up with this role? I did this about 18 years ago and started in a company and no idea what this was, but didn't realize how much money was flowing back and forth. And uh no one still understands what they don't. If you look online on YouTube and look up affiliate management, nothing comes up. Yeah, affiliate marketing, yes. But I yeah, I've been in family mastermind now for like four years. And I thought you were the MC. Uh and Steve Trang. Oh that's oh that's Francis. Oh, that's Francis, my other twin. See, there's three of us here, and they all mix us up. That's how bad it is. Yeah. Help, help. Well, Francis is just like you if you like you fix yourself up. Yes, he has way more hair than me. Yeah, you're like Francis after he wakes up after, you know, a 20-hour coat binge. Yeah, uh that, and yeah, and I I I would love if I just could grow hair like him. That'd be like all of us would. Oh, you that's right.
unknown:That's right.
SPEAKER_00:That's right. Oh, the bald guys club almost. That's where I work with. All right, so 18 years ago, you decided that you were gonna create this industry. Like all good entrepreneurs, good mentorship, coaches, really kind of guided me through just internet marketing. Uh, really capturing opportunities, I think, is what allowed me to survive these 18 years. But yeah, affiliate, I think, is in every industry, not just real estate, right? Health, fitness, you know. Oh, so you work outside of just real estate. I'm trying to. My vertical is real estate right now. There's still so much opportunity to capture, but my goal ultimately is to bring this to every industry. Yeah, I mean, you've only been doing it for 18 years. It's probably time to, you know, start looking elsewhere. Yeah. Thank, thank, yep. Thanks. Yep. Yep, yep. Oh, I bet. You had never roofing. That should be your next one. Roofing, oh, dude. Insurance companies, roofing. Are you the reason why speed of leads doing roofing leads now? Uh oh my god. Oh, hey, that's on the that's on the that's on the DL, brother. What do you mean it can't be on the DL? It's on Facebook ads. Okay. Obviously, I'm I'm not in tune with what my my clients are marketing. So good job, iSpeed. Yep, yep. Roof it, yep. It's just running out there. Oops. You can't really hide it. Okay. Uh obviously I stay in my lane. Don't know what's really going on there. So that's that's good. Sorry, Yuri. That's amazing. Oops. Like it's supposed to be on the deal. Okay, yeah. I mean, listen. I was just trying to create some mystery and that failed. So our thumbnail has you on it. So there's gonna be like 75 people that watch this. Good. It's okay. We'll still stay on the deal. Like you're following on Instagram. That was okay. Wow. Yeah, that was you know, the issue is that we did get renewed for a third season, but the budget that they give us doesn't help us get better. What is the budget? Wait, what kind of budget do you get? Well, we got Dick Mike's. Um, no, same lights. We got a new camera guy. You guys are man, you guys are living. You guys made it. You're you've made it. We got a groupie. Yeah. Yeah. Groupie here. One. We used to have an audience. They used to laugh and clap. They don't do that anymore. So budget's tight. Um, all right. Good to be here. The the the key question of this. Now listen. Season premiere. I need you to kick us off the right way. This is an important question. A lot of people answer it the exact same way, and then I have to point out how ridiculous their answer is. So kick us off the right way. Okay. What is your greatest achievement in life? Oh, the first thing that came to mind, I bet is the answer. But I gotta admit, you know, I don't work to I don't work to make money. I work to provide for my family, and I think that's the biggest thing is being a dad to my two kids. I know it's the same thing. Entrepreneurship is crazy when you talk to those who have accomplished where you want to go. I ask that same question. It's always being a father. It it's it is the best. I have a two-month-old now, and I love it. I love it. That's my greatest. My greatest achievement is being a dad. It's creating the next generation of better people. Hopefully, they can just do one better. I understand that it's not that hard. Have you been watching the have you been watching TV and the news? All you had to do was just pump and dunk, dude. And boom, you're dad. That pretty much uh sums up what I did. So uh it's harder than it sounds sometimes. Doesn't make it any less fun. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of convincing. A lot of convincing, right? You're married? Uh I'm still surprised by that as well, yes. Yeah. Close to 10 years now, you know? That's a thing. That's like a what silver? That's great. Gold, something like that. Are you married? Uh I'm not. I'm not. Oh. Oh well. I'm sorry. I'm not surprised. Congratulations on your greatest achievement in life. Thank you. Being a dad. Yeah. And continuing the trend of literally every single person at Family Mastermind believing that their greatest achievement in life is procreating. I'm glad I could just fit right into it. One person has come in and said, you know, I think the greatest achievement in life is something else besides having sex with the opposite. You know what? I'll give you another answer. I'll say this is a rare thing. In 18 years, I've never been sued or uh I've survived the FTC, all these things in the education space. You know, people have come and gone, but I've kept my nose clean for 18 years. So I'll say that's a huge accomplishment. That's a good one. There you go. I like that. That's like the greatest achievement as an entrepreneur. And then pumping and dumping. Yeah. There you go. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Steve Trang's little brother, Frank Chin. Thanks, big bro. See you guys. You're supposed to stand up. Oh this is how we fucking.
