Kris Benson is the CIO of Reliant Investments, a fund that purchases self storage and multifamily assets in the southeast united states.Kris Benson recognized that “just because all the dogs are barking at the same tree doesn’t mean it is the right tree.” As Chief Investment Officer at Reliant Investments, he is confident in the risks he has taken, the career changes he’s navigated and the “tree” he has established his investment platform on.After accepting his first job in sales “because I had diapers to buy,” Kris learned both the value and difficulty of cold calling while developing a “hunter” mentality at ADP. He joined the medical device industry with Covidien and later transitioned to Intuitive Surgical, famous for its DaVinci robot. Kris quit his corporate job and elected  to find a way to stop trading my time for money and to let my money make money. He launched his commercial real estate journey, appreciating the value of investing in tangible assets. Kris started investing in small residential units over 10 years ago and expanded to commercial multifamily properties before making the jump to self-storage.Partnering with Todd Allen, managing principal at Reliant Investments, Kris focuses his leadership and management skills on the commercial real estate company’s investment committee, which determines what self-storage properties to purchase while growing equity and creating passive income streams for investors.Learn how to leave corporate america, hit financial freedom, and design your dream life through our FREE Action Academy EBOOK:  "From W2 to World Travel"https://w2toworldtravel.comNewsletter Link That Sends 10 AM TODAY: https://brianluebben.com/newsletterConnect with Us!Podcast Instagram: @actionacademypodcastPersonal Instagram:@brianluebben https://brianluebben.comhttps://www.krisbenson.comResources:GoBundanceAre you an accredited investor and want to learn more about GoBundance?www.gobundance.comBook a call to learn more: https://calendly.com/brianluebben/gobundanceAre You Stuck In Your W2 Job, Relationships, and Life?Good - Let's Change That: Apply For The Action Academy CommunityFor Frameworks, Freedom Tips, and Millionaire Financial Breakdowns:Join Our Weekly Newsletter Twitter @theactionpodIG @brianluebbenTiktok @brianluebben
