"Time to Sell!" Ben Mallah's Shocking Prediction for Home Prices, Falling Rents & the Trump Economy (Video)

In this 22 January 2026 published video, hosts Graham Stephan and Jack Selby talk with Ben Mallah, a prominent American real estate investor and media personality, widely known as the “$500 Million Man”. Raised in the projects of Queens, NY, he transitioned from a career in the military to becoming a self-made mogul by specializing in distressed properties.
Known for a “No BS” approach, Mallah often self-manages his properties to maximize cash flow. His current strategy focuses on “necessity retail”—services the internet cannot replace, such as medical offices, hair salons, and restaurants. He credits the 1031 exchange as a cornerstone of his wealth building, allowing him to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest profits into larger assets.
Mallah’s recent business activity in late 2025 and early 2026 he has discussed “cashing out” or retiring, citing a declining real estate market and a desire for more personal time.
