E224: Creating a Life of Financial Freedom by Design with Ben Kall

Ready for your next big thing? Well, that takes intentionality and shifting from a fear-based mindset to a mindset of opportunities. That also means being willing to step out of your comfort zone so you can create your life of freedom by design. Otherwise, you will find yourself stuck in the same place you were 10 years ago. In today’s conversation, Ben Kall, former Division 1 athlete and coach turned real estate agent and investor shares his journey from sports to real estate. Ben is an example of what it’s like to chase the next big thing – not the next shiny object. Ben went into real estate as just a holdover job until he was able to find something in sports again. But what he thought was a short-term stint turned out to be something he is now super passionate about. Now back in his hometown for about seven years , Ben’s real estate team is consistently one of the top five teams within their RE/MAX franchise. Ben was also able to build his own real estate portfolio of over $20 million in assets consisting of storage, multifamily, and triple net lease.

"True cash flow, wealth creation, and tax strategies – all of the big things to create freedom are all done through commercial real estate.” “Surround yourself with people that are comfortable talking about these things as opposed to being judged in your community about just being an investor or being a landlord and just being greedy and wanting to take advantage and make more money.” Connecting with the Guest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ben_kall_ Email: [email protected] Connect with our growing community: Apply to GoBundance: https://www.gobundance.com/membership Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gobundance/ Not a millionaire yet but want to be a part of our ecosystem?
