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 and finally, RJ has won back to back Closers Olympics earning him the reputation as the King Closer!

Hello and welcome to this edition of Between Two Belts. I am your host, rj Bates III. Today I'm with is this a joke? Is this really your name? How do you pronounce what is this? It's just like a bunch of letters that your parents just jumbled together and came up with a name. How do you say your name? Sheik, sheik, sheik. What does that stand for? You know, I really don't know Nothing, nothing.
Speaker 1:What is it that you do? Nothing, nothing? What is it that you do, chic? I make videos. You make videos, yes, of who? Of people, people, people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you just follow people around with a video camera. Majority of the time. Yeah, you're like a professional creep. Did you learn that skill in high school? No, I didn't. No, no, when did you learn how to follow people around with a video camera? I went to one of your events and I saw somebody following you with a camera. So I said I want to be like that guy and follow RJ around, but not me, but not you. You want to be like the guy and follow RJ around one day, but not me, but not you. You want to be like the guy that follows me. No, I want to be like him. Ah, I don't want to follow you. I see, I don't want to be around you.
Speaker 1:Do you make good money doing what you do? Yes, impressive. People actually pay you yeah, a lot of money. Do you edit the videos as well? No, someone else does that Mm-hmm. So your whole job is to just follow people around with a camera. It's a little more than that, but in a nutshell, yes, one time you followed me around with a camera here in this hotel in Tampa. Do you remember doing that? I do not. I was in the lobby. It's the worst video I've ever recorded. But you didn't record it, I did. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I like that. I like that. Sheik, what's your greatest accomplishment in life? Probably that was a good question, I don't know. Probably. Probably touring the United States With my band.
Speaker 1:When I was younger, you were in a band. I was. What did you do in the band? I played guitar. Not for sure you were going to say you just followed them around in the band. No, I didn't, I actually did something. You played guitar, I played guitar. I thought for sure you were going to say you just followed them around in the van. No, I didn't, I actually did something. You played guitar, I played guitar. What was the band's name? Buried Under Texas. Buried Under Texas Is that like a mixture of Bury your Dead and Upon a Burning Body, kind of sort of. It's kind of like a weird Upon a Burning Body beat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so y'all tried to be a really good heavy metal band. You just lacked talent, probably at the guitar position. No, actually, roadrunner wanted to sign us. Yeah, he just didn't sign Roadrunner. Why didn't you, I don't know. Just differences, differences. Okay, well, that's interesting. So you could have been a rock star, but instead you decided to follow people around with a camera all day. Yeah, that's chic, that's right Chic. Yeah, I mean, it's better than talking to strangers on the phone all day. That's our episode of Between Two Belts with chic. That was great.
