Ben is such a great real estate investor. He doesn’t just cater to people with money. He also caters to people that don’t have a lot of money. It’s awesome seeing wealthy people look after the little guys.

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

[@fakumadda1632]

Wow. So impressed with his story. A true self-made man. Wish I had that kind of brain. Some people just know how to get it done. Unfortunately, if he doesn't watch his health, he may not be around long to enjoy it.

[@nategraham4007]

Yeah in his videos he always makes it clear he understands and that his smoking habits got the better of him. Although he truly is a good person in recent videos hes been talking about teaching his family members how to run things cause he knows hes not gonna be around forever.

[@Smarv11]

[@roiemesilati]

Bringing two of the best real estate people on social media on the same video is fantastic. Ben and Graham are true entrepreneurs. Thank you Graham.

[@darkwoodmovies]

I love how awkward Graham is during these interviews. To be fair though, these people have insane personalities and it's hard to keep up with them. If I were interviewing someone like that, I'd probably die of anxiety.

[@ernestoc1215]

This was a great epsiode BABY! I love Ben Mallah thank you for presenting this hilarious highly intelligent man.

[@trevorjenglish]

This was a fantastic video. Perhaps the most interesting component to me is the signs of clear stress in the commercial property market. Ben does a great job being positive about it, but it's clear he's really trying to get out of trouble here. I can't help but thing the issues detailed here are a microcosm to the commercial real estate market as a whole right now...

[@waynehearst317]

Listen, NONE of you in the comments or watching this video have 1/10th of what it takes to be this guy and do what he did. That's NOT an insult. My family has worked with Mr. Mallah many times in the past 20 years from a legal perspective and he is the most ruthless and morally bankrupt man on the planet. If you can look a pregnant Mom in the eyes and tell her to kick rocks after the mold in your property got her and her 2yr old sick, while evicting her then laugh about it at a $150/plate lunch, then you might have what it takes. This guy is RUTHLESS and I wouldn't trade ANY of his wealth for that life.

[@thesoundsession]

14:38 is such an insightful comment about interest rates going up (FED) and he didn't lock in his interest rate on the note he has for 23M commercial property. This is how inflation creeps in - he either raises rental rates and that business then raises prices on consumers. Or he loses profit (news flash most millionaires are into less profit for no good reason). Ultimately, the cost of living goes up for all.

[@joshuateachey2579]

Love Ben watch him all the time

[@versatilex97]

16:00 He is a multi-millionaire and wants a to save a few thousand every month by putting fake grass and firing his landscaper. That's the mindset of a successful individual who wants to go far in life. It's the same exact thing for someone making $50k a year to save $50 every single month. Because that $50 can go a long way.

[@willarimore8217]

One gem he gave us is that he doesn’t turn a profit right away. He reinvests back into the property to improve it as much as possible. Once he is in the “gravy” zone, where the property is improved as much as possible, he starts making monthly income. He’s improved the building for tenants, he added tax free value to his property, he reduced his potential for major repairs, and generated a monthly residual income that makes him money while he’s on his yacht.

[@Andrew-M-M]

Very insightful and informative, it’s always great to hear from people with experience.

His ticket to becoming a millionaire was to leave all aspects of being human, and focus solely on the money. He's absolutely ruthless. If he buys a apartment complex and raises the rent so high the elderly tenants who have lived there for years can't pay...Not his problem. A royal prick. I'm not a millionaire, but I wouldn't sell my soul either.
