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.

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.

@@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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

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!

the data centers in cities are generally transit sites and connect back to the big data centers in the middle of no where, they are also know as hotel carriers and generally sit on a major fiber interconnection

I'm in the same area and everything Ben says is true. Absolutely ridiculous prices and rent and wages don't keep up.
