The Coming Economic Collapse | Confronting Ben Mallah in Person.

[@carsonc1272]

I really appreciate Ben's transparency and honesty.

[@sten260]

Ben is an actual gigachad

[@nirefuse805]

He's a straight shooter

[@nkvrgic]

Yes!!

[@THEBIGGESTSCUMBAG]

HE ALWAYS LIKE THAT

[@juzefzoozoo]

This interview was epic. Extremely valuable. Thank you Ben for generously sharing your insights and wisdom. Kevin, thank you for your unprecedented work. You're providing so much value.

[@YungBobs]

This man is a national treasure

[@mikek545]

You set the bar very very low

[@leonkienow6830]

More like just a huge monument.

[@mikehallrealestate]

We don't get Ben speaking like this during his show. Really enjoyed this.

[@416jr]

Yea bens podcast is where he lets out his real self lol

[@panerai164]

Funny story... I called Ben last year and told him my story, blah blah blah. For 30 minutes he called me a dumbass for not refinancing my portfolio and draining it of the equity. I already had a pretty decent commercial rate and felt like the rug was going to be pulled eventually, so I did nothing and still enjoying great cash flow. Glad I stayed the course, the deals are coming and we're ready. He is pure gold though and a wealth of knowledge and a good guy. It was worth the $500 just to shoot the shit with him, I'd do it a again.

[@cnoogs344]

How did your decision (staying the course and not refinancing and keeping higher cash flow) better than Ben’s suggestion to refinance? Unless your cash flow was very high and your equity low, you’d have more cash on hand if you had refinanced than you do now. And a refinance now would hurt more now than it did when Ben told you to refinance due to higher rates.

[@panerai164]

@@cnoogs344 Well, that's exactly it, I already had a decent commercial rate of 4% and yes, the cash flow was fantastic and even better now. What drove Ben nuts was my properties are very high in equity and some paid off fully and he was like get that money out and put it to work. I feel it would have been a mistake at the time. The prices were crazy, everyone had fear of missing out and I would have crippled my cash flow, bought way too high and who knows if when my term expired, the bank would even refi. Now that commercial has cooled, we are starting to get active, even though the rates are still high. Duck, lowball offers incoming!

[@andycoffman]

Ben is the real deal! They don’t make em like that anymore. Great interview

[@chriseaston869]

I was only planning to watch a few minutes of this because I was busy but I ended up watching start to finish. Very informative, appreciate Ben Mallah’s honesty and openness as opposed to investors and business people who posture for the camera and end up not saying much of anything. This was valuable.

[@JeremyPowell-vl9bm]

Ben Mallah struggling made me feel a little better about my situation 😂

[@ionelmasca2791]

He s under a lot of stress

[@swift__]

Ben struggling is the equivalent to us on our greats day times 10,000… at least 🤣🥹

[@cheezeball6109]

There is a huge commercial real estate tsunami....as rates climb, these guys will be forced to refinance, and the deals can not and will not be made.

[@chriseckelberg7467]

It's coming our way!

[@alexanderhearth8141]

Experienced PM here. Layoffs have started in commercial RE. Think large office space but minimal employees. They are keeping all the geriatrics. Young guys out the door. Commercial RE is gonna get slammed.

[@gothamlob5706]

Take care of your health Ben , you mean a lot to us and your family …

[@RandalColling]

Ben always did min down payment max financing and interest only. That's a great way to GROW in an UP market. During a DOWN market with increasing interest rates, the max finance goes under. The conservative investor that do min financing, put in large down payments, those guys do well. Even if rates increase. (Telling this for a friend)

[@luispicante]

Ben is the man, appreciate this sit down with him .

[@jhdz6988]

Ben is exactly correct so many folks let their personal emotions get in the way, in business it’s all about numbers and logic keep the bs to yourself or let it out during happy hour

[@carlosbalmaceda5724]

I have to say that was a great interview. It was like interviewing the Godfather and coming out alive for not saying the wrong thing.

[@mikek545]

The Fatfather more like it 😂

[@Blitcliffe]

With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $120,000 bond/stock portfolio.

[@Aziz__0]

Investing in stocks is a good idea, a good trading system would puts you through many days of success.

[@Tsunaniis-j5l]

@@Aziz__0 True, the US-Stock Market had been on it's longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable, considering were not accustomed to such troubled markets, but as you mentioned there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look, l've netted over $650k in the past 8 months and it wasn't some rocket-science strat. I applied , I just knew I needed a firm and reliable technique to navigate better in these times, so I hired a portfoilo advisor.

[@Blitcliffe]

@@Tsunaniis-j5l that's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this advisors, my portfolio has been down lately....who's the person guiding you?

[@Tsunaniis-j5l]

@@Blitcliffe my financial advisor is 'NICOLE DESIREE SIMON'. I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured Afterwards I reached out to her. she has since then provided me with entry and exit points in securities I focus on.

[@Blitcliffe]

@@Tsunaniis-j5l Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.

[@Aziz__0]

Every day we have a new problem. It's the new normal. At first we thought it was a crisis, now we know it's a new normal and we have to adapt. 2023 will be a year of severe economic pain all over the nation.. what steps can we take to generate more income during quantitative adjustment?I can't afford my hard-earned $280,000 savings to turn to dust

[@Tsunaniis-j5l]

@Jeremy Walker Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I nettd over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know

[@Aziz__0]

@@Tsunaniis-j5l That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this advisor, my portfolio has been stagnant.... Who’s the person guiding you?

[@Aziz__0]

@@Tsunaniis-j5l Thank you for this amazing tip. I just looked the name up, wrote her and scheduled a call

[@TCTerribleDog]

That’s a big man with personality. Ive learned a lot, beyond just words.

[@pedrelias]

Big Ben is the man!

[@maloy2316]

Very real and raw, no script...just real conversation.

[@richjohnson749]

The contrast in personalities is overwhelming. Kevin seems to be channeling the energy of a 14 year old girl. And Ben is like a Pro Wrestler !!

[@BrandonRa]

Finally some real life insight into what is going on in the market.

[@rajm.5819]

What a powerful podcast. These 2 are super heroes in the cash game. Thanks Kevin!

[@LorenzoV7]

It’s not that you FlipFlop all the time Kevin , it’s that you know when to get in and when to get out . 35:45. You were right about AMC/APE . It’s like a balancing act and you balance it well . Thank you for your knowledge.

[@yorkazuna5934]

Your best interview subject yet...by far. This guy knows his stuff.

[@jessicabarone6729]

What a pair! Awesome interview on both ends you BOTH ROCK!

[@jackkk9211]

If Ben is struggling, then we are in deep ...

[@benpinto5821]

It was really top!! great conversation Kevin and Ben, love the honesty this guy has!

[@clintonlanier8500]

One of my favorite interviews

[@Paul_Desouza]

This was incredibly insightful. Thanks Kev

[@YuriyumiMVP]

What a great surprise, love both creators

[@jorgegrealty]

Great interview! 👍🏼 Big Ben is the real deal! Sucks to see him struggling.

[@scrappyhustler7467]

He's not struggling he can cash out tax out and live extremely comfortably for the remainder of his life easy peasy we the Lil guys are the ones who are gonna struggle anyone making less than 400k per year will be the ones hurting very soon!

[@jorgegrealty]

@scrappy hustler I agree, but he is still losing his shirt in interest payments. I believe he said $12 million a year for not refinancing his properties at a lower rate.

[@rickcarlsonofficial]

Gotta love Ben! I love his insight, it’s spot on as far as I can tell.

[@jason6919]

Ben is so old school and well rounded that he keeps his thumb on the pulse of the economy. He's been there, done that, failed, and succeeded. Experience will never replace a textbook.

[@sambell8211]

Ben is awesome, You are really confronting all the people I follow and respect, especially at the current time.

[@RobertGates138]

First 4 minutes feel like I'm watching a GTA cutscene.

[@billionairefaith1]

He looks streight out of GTA

[@monkeyloven]

Kevin stayed so calm. Don't want to stir up the bear any more than necessary.

[@BillVanDiggelen]

Great interview, Ben is the voice of experience and being real. Good job Kevin on keeping the interview somewhat structured. This delivered a shot of reality. 😊

[@luxmaster]

Good interview actually. Ben is right about many things in this video.

[@jasn010]

Ben: I'm not a..... Kevin: an economist? Ben: what do you call that major? Kevin: Econ? Ben: ah ok I know, it's an economist

[@Vitaliystv]

Kevin works hard to provide us content. Flew his private jet across country to do this podcast

[@davidlakhter]

love this conversation! I've been watching Ben' content since Kevin's video with him last year after seeing him on Graham the first time. love Ben!

[@mason-jones]

Love that flip roast right off the bat 😂

[@annalopezwooden]

Thank you! 🙌🏼 Excellent information and transparency on the coming collapse. Talk about #BenMallah insights on most topics. 🔥

[@paulwadehaddad]

That was great! Anything with Big Ben usually is. Good job with the interview!

[@LA-fr7fx]

Absolutely brilliant interview 👍👍👌👌

[@seancsnm]

Gotta love how the editors just gave up on censoring Ben by 2 mins in.

[@SHORT-FRIDAYS]

Ben is very intelligent; When he speaks, I listen; and I'm shorting everything in the morning.

I’m a Realtor in Brevard County Florida, We have a ton of growth from almost every major builder. We have a very strong aerospace industry… NASA, SpaceX, and Blue Origin are all here for Cape Canaveral. A lot of supporting subcontracts and other major players like L3Harris are investing in the area. We just had an Amazon fulfillment center built, and Margaritaville is also building a resort! The best part is we don’t normally see major damage from hurricanes! I would be happy to put together some stuff if you’re even back in FL!

[@camfasching3022]

Awesome Show. Kevin!!!!!

If you follow ben, this info is way more important than how to buy real estate. When things go south, one has to know how to proceed!!!

I've got my real estate license 👍 the part with the postcards though, it's not a bad idea but the postal workers throw out a lot of that stuff. I know because I delivered mail. Quite a bit of it goes in the undeliverable bulk business bin.

Ben mallah i respect. his backround to his words. you gotta respect the man.

[@misterfix886]

I love watching ben! But Ben should seriously start investing in his health personal trainer/health cook. Money isn't the only goal!
