the Biggest Slumlord in the USA...The Government! Featuring Samuel Sells
What if the biggest slumlord in the U.S. isn't who you think it is? In this eye-opening episode, Dave Dubeau sits down with Sam Sells, a real estate investor and impact-driven entrepreneur, to expose a surprising truth: the U.S. government—through its aging public housing—is the country’s largest slumlord. Sam shares how his team is creating a real estate revolution by partnering with public housing authorities to tear down outdated, low-quality housing and replace it with vibrant, mixed-income communities.
Sam walks us through the complexities of public-private partnerships, HUD regulations, grant structuring, and how these challenging but rewarding projects offer life-changing opportunities for residents and investors alike. From securing bond funding to implementing on-site childcare, job training, and even AI-powered success tools, Sam’s mission is bold—help one million people out of poverty, and do it sustainably.
