The #1 Mistake Construction Owners Make With Their Office Space
About this episode
If you're a construction business owner who's tired of paying rent and wondering how to build long-term wealth, this episode is for you. Dominic Rubino sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and real estate expert Ken Wimberly to discuss how contractors, tradespeople, and small business owners can transition from leasing space to owning commercial real estate.
Ken shares practical strategies for getting started, including how SBA loans work, why building relationships with lenders matters, how to identify undervalued properties, and why surrounding yourself with successful investors can accelerate your growth. The conversation also explores real-world examples of contractors, chiropractors, and entrepreneurs who built substantial wealth through commercial property ownership.
Beyond real estate investing, Ken discusses the importance of mentorship, the power of your Reticular Activation System (RAS), and why successful entrepreneurs intentionally expose themselves to new ideas and opportunities. The episode closes with an inspiring conversation about family legacy, journaling, and Ken's Legacy of Love app.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• How construction companies can own commercial real estate with as little as 10% down
• Why SBA loans can be a powerful tool for business owners
• How to find commercial properties with built-in rental income
• The role of lenders, brokers, and property inspectors in your investment strategy
