Sam is a retired US Air Force officer and combat veteran who founded Wild Mountain Capital in 2018 with his hero dad. Sam traveled globally with US Air Force Special Operations as an International Health Specialist and saw poverty and a lack of safe housing while leading complex rehab and development projects worldwide. This motivated Sam to start Wild Mountain to transform neglected, unsafe, and mismanaged assets not just into “affordable housing”, but into housing that is affordable.
The Wild Mountain team has 60+ years of commercial and residential real estate experience over 75+ projects individually. Since 2019, the team has syndicated 20 development /rehab properties, creating equity growth nearly twice the initial investment in less than two years. Projects include mobile home communities, apartment complexes, and self storage facilities.

"Growing up in that regard has really made us flexible and we’re not afraid of these ugly value-added properties at all. We’re not afraid to work directly with those in that social economic class. We’re not afraid to visit and spend hours with someone who has never heard of syndication, real estate investing, or anything.” - Sam Sells
