Ben and Rachelle made a deliberate decision to redesign their lives.
After leaving California in 2022, selling a business, and stepping away from corporate roles, they gave themselves time to study markets and gain clarity before committing to a strategy. Instead of rushing into deals, they focused on building confidence through systems and disciplined analysis.
Today, they’ve built a three-door portfolio in Northwest Florida and are approaching the million-dollar mark, all while operating as a team with one partner still working full-time.
Key Moments
• Leaving corporate and intentionally resetting their life
• Traveling markets before choosing where to invest
• Moving from information overload to focused execution
• Why mastering deal analysis builds real confidence
• Operating as a team while one partner works full-time
• A 3–5 year vision built around time and location freedom
This conversation is a grounded reminder that building wealth is not about speed. It’s about clarity, discipline, and steady execution.
