Starting his career as a principal owner at just 23 years old — bypassing the traditional broker route — Reinberg built his empire from the ground up with grit and determination. Over more than 30 years, he has grown Alliance into a $500 million portfolio spanning medical office, industrial, and multifamily properties, managing billions in transactions and achieving a historical 28% IRR for investors. Beyond real estate, Reinberg is the host of the I Own It podcast, where he shares insights on business, personal development, fitness, and mindset with entrepreneurs and investors around the world. ➡️ Show Links https://www.instagram.com/therealbenreinberg/  https://x.com/realbenreinberg  https://www.linkedin.com/in/benreinberg  ➡️ Podcast Sponsors Hubspot - https://hubspot.com/   Huel - https://huel.com/scott (Code: scott) The Demand Decoded Podcast - https://www.blendb2b.com/demand-decoded  NetSuite - https://netsuite.com/scottclary/  Indeed - https://indeed.com/clary Framer - https://framer.com/design (Code: SuccessStory) LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/success Wix - https://wix.com/  NorthWest Registered Agent - https://www.northwestregisteredagent.com/paidsuccess  BELAY - https://belaysolutions.com (Text ‘scott’ at 55123) Gusto - https://gusto.com/successstory  Lennar - https://www.lennar.com/  ➡️ Talking Points 00:00 – Intro 01:30 – Finding His Path in Real Estate 09:50 – Overcoming Imposter Syndrome 13:58 – The Communication Mistake Entrepreneurs Make 21:48 – The Hardest Lesson He Learned 24:56 – Sponsor Break 27:30 – Where Beginners Should Invest 37:56 – Mastering Emotional Control 41:49 – Key CRE Insights to Know 47:25 – The Most Painful Lesson 55:48 – Sponsor Break 57:38 – Reading the Economic Signals 1:02:20 – The Belief That Changed Everything 1:04:24 – What Not to Sacrifice for Success 1:08:47 – Designing Life for Family 1:17:51 – The Lesson He’d Pass to His Kids
