Growing up, she watched her immigrant parents build wealth through real estate, collect rent checks, work on properties, care for tenants, and model what it looks like to take risks, work hard, and build something meaningful for your family.In this conversation, we talk about physician identity, entrepreneurship, the emotional difficulty of stepping outside the traditional medical path, using physician loans creatively, evaluating investment properties, and why physicians need trusted advocates when buying real estate.🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ How Amy’s early exposure to rentals shaped her view of money, risk, and ownership ✔️ Why her parents’ immigrant story deeply influenced her work ethic and entrepreneurial mindset ✔️ How Teach For America helped shape her path into pediatrics ✔️ The challenges of running a solo DPC practice as a physician, wife, and mother ✔️ How physician loans can become a powerful real estate tool ✔️ What physicians should look for when evaluating short-term rental and investment properties ✔️ Why having a physician realtor can help protect doctors from being taken advantage of🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Real estate is a learnable skill, just like medicine ✅ You are not your profession, and your identity can be bigger than your job title ✅ Physicians do not have to stay trapped in one version of success ✅ Starting slowly can reduce risk and help you build confidence ✅ Physician loans can offer unique financing opportunities if you know where to look ✅ The right property should match your goals, risk tolerance, and desired lifestyle ✅ Great real estate decisions start with clarity, not just chasing deals ✅ A trusted realtor who understands physicians can be a major advantageIf you’ve ever wondered whether it is okay to love medicine but still want more freedom…Or if you’ve ever thought about real estate but felt unsure where to start…𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵.

This conversation picks up where our last episode left off, but this time we go deep into why buying businesses has become such an exciting long-term wealth-building strategy for physicians. Chiagozie shares how she first got introduced to business buying during the pandemic, why it took time to truly see herself as a buyer, and what changed when she started understanding the numbers. We dive into physician identity, evaluating opportunity, buying versus building, roll-up strategies, financing options, due diligence, and why physicians may have far more leverage in this space than they realize. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why buying a business can create significantly more cash flow than many traditional investments ✔️ The five criteria she uses to evaluate businesses worth buying ✔️ Why buying can often be less risky than building from scratch ✔️ How roll-ups and valuation multiples create massive upside in business acquisitions ✔️ What physicians need to understand about SDE, EBITDA, and business valuation ✔️ The many ways to finance a business, including SBA, seller financing, and physician practice loans ✔️ Why physicians should look in their own field first when exploring acquisitions🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Buying the right business can give you cash flow from day one ✅ A bigger business is often better than a tiny one because it can support an operator and true scalability ✅ Physicians may be uniquely positioned to buy and improve healthcare-related businesses ✅ Financing a business can be far more flexible than most people realize ✅ Great deals are made in due diligence, not just in the initial offer ✅ Clarity on your goals and buy box matters before you start chasing deals ✅ The right acquisition can create both freedom now and wealth later If you’ve ever wondered whether physicians can build wealth outside of medicine, but still are not sure what it looks like to buy a business the right way…𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵.

This conversation felt especially full circle for me because Dr. Bishop was actually one of my clerkship directors back in medical school. Steven shares his journey from academic medicine to concierge medicine to launching a “practice without walls” direct primary care model built around house calls, family, faith, flexibility, and freedom. This conversation is about a lot more than career transitions. We talk about physician identity, entrepreneurship, direct primary care, investing, startup leadership, faith, family, mission work, and the courage it takes to stop settling for the default path and start building a life that is more aligned, intentional, and free. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why many physicians are far more capable of leading and building than they realize ✔️ How fear, debt, and limiting beliefs keep doctors stuck in careers that no longer fit ✔️ Dr. Bishop’s transition from academic medicine to concierge medicine to direct primary care ✔️ How he built a low-overhead, house call-based DPC practice designed around lifestyle and flexibility ✔️ Why investing early can create optionality and make career pivots less risky ✔️ What physicians can learn from startup leadership and building mission-driven companies ✔️ Why doctors should have a larger voice in shaping healthcare businesses and systems ✔️ How faith, family, and mission work have shaped Dr. Bishop’s view of success 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ You are not “just a doctor.” Physicians are capable of leading, building, and investing at a very high level ✅ Financial freedom is really about optionality and having more choices ✅ Investing early can create the breathing room needed to make aligned career changes ✅ Direct primary care can be structured around the lifestyle and family priorities you actually want ✅ Faith, service, and family can be central drivers in how you build your career ✅ Real freedom is built slowly through intentional decisions, not overnight success If you’ve ever felt like there has to be more than the traditional physician path…but still are not sure what it looks like to build a life on your own terms…𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 “𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿” 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲.Connect with Dr. Steven Bishop:WebsiteXIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

Olga shares her journey from working 70-hour weeks as a full-time hospitalist to navigating a major identity shift when she became a full-time mom after moving to Florida. What followed was a powerful reframe around mindset, purpose, and building medicine on her own terms. This conversation is about a lot more than burnout. We dive into identity, vision, boundaries, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to stop living on autopilot and start building a life that feels more intentional, aligned, and free. Olga also shares how she built her coaching business, developed the DAMA framework, created alternative income streams, and began practicing medicine in a way that better fits the life she actually wants. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why burnout is often more about misalignment than just working too many hours ✔️ How Olga navigated the identity shift from full-time physician to full-time mom ✔️ The DAMA framework: Driven, Aligned, Building Momentum, and Taking Action ✔️ Why vision setting is essential if you want to practice medicine on your own terms ✔️ How to use “net time” and small habits to build momentum in a busy season ✔️ Why community, accountability, and mentorship can accelerate your growth ✔️ How Olga built the confidence to launch her coaching business and podcast ✔️ Why setting boundaries and reclaiming your time, energy, and confidence matters so much for women physicians 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Burnout is often a signal that something in your life is out of alignment ✅ You do have a choice in how you practice medicine and build your life ✅ Clear vision plus small, consistent action creates real momentum ✅ The right community can dramatically accelerate courage and growth ✅ Building alternative income streams can create more flexibility and fulfillment ✅ Real freedom comes when your time reflects your values and priorities If you’ve ever felt stuck between medicine, family, identity, and the desire for something more…but still are not sure what it looks like to build a life on your own terms…𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲. Connect with Dr. Olga Deengar:LinkedInWebsiteFacebookInstagramIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲.💡 What if the reason so many physicians still feel financially behind is not because they do not make enough money… but because nobody ever taught them how to organize, protect, and direct their money toward the life they actually want?In today’s episode, I’m joined by Scott Jarred—founder and CEO of INVST. Scott left corporate America to build a different kind of wealth firm, one focused less on pushing products and more on helping people truly understand, grow, and protect their financial lives through what he calls a personal CFO approach. This conversation is about a lot more than investing. Scott shares his own story of growing up around financial instability, chasing money, reaching income success, and then realizing that money without purpose still feels empty. From there, we dive into the real physician dilemma: long training, delayed financial literacy, lifestyle creep, fear-based money decisions, and the struggle to build wealth while still trying to stay true to the work that matters most.🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why so many physicians feel financially behind despite making a strong income ✔️ Why more money does not automatically create more freedom ✔️ Scott’s three-part framework: protect yourself, get organized, and pay yourself first ✔️ Why many traditional financial advisors miss the mark for physicians ✔️ What it means to take a personal CFO approach to your money ✔️ How to think like an owner instead of staying stuck in the system ✔️ Why your financial plan should be built around purpose, time, and the life you actually want ✔️ How better money decisions can create more freedom, generosity, and long-term fulfillment🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ High income does not equal financial clarity ✅ Physicians often feel stuck because they start late and never get real financial education ✅ Protecting your earning ability, getting organized, and paying yourself first matter more than chasing the next shiny investment ✅ The right strategy is not just about building net worth — it is about building choice ✅ Real freedom comes when your money supports your purpose, relationships, and time ✅ Wealth becomes a lot more meaningful when it is built in alignment with the life you want to liveIf you’ve ever felt like you are doing everything “right” on paper…but still not building the life you actually want…Connect With Scott JarredWebsiteInstagramLinkedInIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

From a broken rib and a C6-C7 disc herniation to stepping away from direct primary care, this quarter reminded me in a very real way that life can change fast. But it also reminded me why I care so much about financial freedom and lifestyle design in the first place: not just for income, but for flexibility, presence, and resilience when life gets hard. I also share some exciting updates from The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind, our Tomball luxury memory care development, our Republic, Missouri senior living project, and the renewed push to finally finish my residential assisted living book. On the personal side, I talk about family, camping season, and one of the moments I’m most grateful for this year—my brother and I gifting our dad a 10-day retirement trip to Iceland. This episode is part quarterly update, part mindset reset, and part reminder that the goal is not just growth. The goal is alignment.🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:✔️ Why life can change fast—and why margin matters ✔️ What injury taught me about health, gratitude, and perspective ✔️ Why I stepped away from direct primary care to work PRN ✔️ The difference between more opportunity and more alignment ✔️ Updates on The RAL Room, our development projects, and the book I’m writing ✔️ Why true freedom is really about presence, flexibility, and living in alignment🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:✅ Health, energy, and strength are gifts—not guarantees ✅ Financial freedom matters because it gives you flexibility when life shifts ✅ More opportunity is not always better—sometimes the better move is simplification ✅ A lot of the biggest wins in business are built in the invisible season ✅ Freedom is not just about doing less work—it’s about being more aligned ✅ The best life you build is one where your calendar reflects your values🎧 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄.For More Info on Rent To Retirement, Click BelowRent To RetirementIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

He had rentals… but they weren’t cash flowing. Then he found a niche most investors ignore:vacant land.And it completely changed his life.Brent shares the exact moment his mindset shifted—when he bought land cheap, sold it with $500 down, got all his money back immediately, and then collected $400/month on a land contract.He told his wife: “If we can do this 10 more times… we’re financially free.”🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why Brent chose land over rentals (and why his rentals felt like “forced savings accounts”) ✔️ How he found motivated sellers using tax-delinquent lists (even while working 13-hour Army days) ✔️ The first two deals that hooked him—buying land for a few hundred bucks and turning it into thousands ✔️ How seller financing on land creates “rent-like” income with nothing breaking ✔️ The paradigm shift: using $500 down payments to get all capital back fast ✔️ How Brent’s process evolved: focusing on markets where land is actually selling (instead of random counties) ✔️ How he values land using comps: by acre or price-per-square-foot + land-specialist agents ✔️ Bread-and-butter land numbers: buying around $55K–$105K and selling $150K–$250K ✔️ Due diligence essentials: access, utilities, buildability, zoning, drainage, and title insurance ✔️ How Brent now adds a new “income engine”: placing manufactured homes on land to expand the buyer pool ✔️ Why manufactured homes unlock financing options (FHA/VA/USDA/non-QM) and a huge pool of buyers ✔️ How he’s shifting toward keeping some homes as brand-new rentals to reduce tax burden (depreciation + cost seg) ✔️ The biggest myth to kill: “You can’t make money with vacant land”🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Land can create cash flow fast—without the headaches of traditional rentals. ✅ Seller financing is the “gravy train”: get capital back quickly, then collect monthly payments like rent. ✅ You don’t need tons of time—Brent did deals while working long Army hours. ✅ Find markets where land is actually selling, then work backwards from comps. ✅ The biggest wins often come from solving simple problems for motivated sellers. ✅ Manufactured homes on land can dramatically expand your buyer pool and increase profits. ✅ If you want wealth the right way: use active income to buy tax-advantaged assets (depreciation + cost seg).Connect with Brent Bowers:LinkedInWebsiteIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲.💡 What if the biggest thing standing between you and financial freedom isn’t a lack of opportunity… but a lack of clarity, commitment, and the mindset to act before you feel “ready”?In today’s episode, I’m joined by Rod Khleif—multifamily investor, bestselling author, host of the Lifetime Cashflow Podcast, and founder of the Tiny Hands Foundation. Rod shares his incredible journey from immigrant beginnings and financial hardship… to massive real estate success… to losing $50 million in the 2008 crash… and rebuilding it all.This conversation is a masterclass in mindset, resilience, and freedom.We talk about the real reason Rod recovered (and why the same principles apply to physicians building a side hustle), what he sees coming in multifamily and senior housing, and why now may be one of the greatest windows of opportunity in real estate for people willing to learn and act.If you’re building wealth through real estate and entrepreneurship, this episode is a reminder: the strategy matters—but mindset, focus, and execution are what change your life.🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Rod’s story: from Dutch immigrant + humble beginnings to real estate success and rebuilding after losing $50M ✔️ Why Rod says 80–90% of success is mindset/psychology (and only 10–20% is the tactical real estate piece) ✔️ The brutal lessons from 2008: 800 houses, poor logistics, tenant demographics, and why low leverage alone doesn’t save you ✔️ The senior housing thesis: “silver tsunami,” shortage of beds, and why Rod is aggressively moving into the space ✔️ Why finding the right operator / property management team is everything (in both multifamily and senior housing) ✔️ The recovery framework Rod used after losing everything: reconnect to goals → make a real decision → take the first step ✔️ Rod’s perspective on gratitude, visualization, fulfillment, and giving back as drivers of long-term success ✔️ Why physicians should start building an “exit ramp” now—not later (especially in an AI-disrupted world)🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Real estate tactics matter—but mindset and decision-making are the real leverage. ✅ You don’t need perfect certainty to start. Take the first step and let the next one reveal itself. ✅ If you’re a physician, your analytical mind can be a strength—but it can also delay action if you demand perfect clarity. ✅ The people around you matter more than you think. Choose your peer group intentionally. ✅ Opportunity often shows up in chaos (Rod sees it in multifamily distress and senior housing demand). ✅ Achievement without purpose can still leave you empty—fulfillment comes from growth + contribution. ✅ If you want freedom (financial, time, mental, and giving freedom), start building it now. Don’t wait for pain to force the change. ✅ Rod’s closing challenge is simple and powerful: don’t live with regrets.Connect with Rod KhleifWebsiteIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲.💡 What if one unfair moment in medicine could threaten everything you’ve built… and the real solution isn’t “more shifts”—but building income streams no one can take away?In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Katz—an OBGYN turned real estate investor—who built a 40-unit short-term rental portfolio in ~3 years through a mix of rental arbitrage, co-hosting, and ownership (all while raising 4 kids with her husband, Jordan).Jessica shares her raw story of how a bad outcome + politics inside medicine nearly derailed her career… and how that pain became fuel to build a business that created stability, options, and peace.Then we go tactical: how to start STRs without a massive down payment, how to analyze deals like a pro, what amenities actually move revenue, and the systems that keep this from becoming a second full-time job.If you’re building wealth through real estate and entrepreneurship, this episode is a reminder: don’t wait until you feel trapped to build your exit ramps.🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Jessica’s story: from “dream job” in medicine → career fear → building financial protection through real estate ✔️ The 3 STR entry paths: rental arbitrage vs co-hosting vs owning (and who each is best for) ✔️ Why owning is the end goal—and how arbitrage/co-hosting can fund your down payment ✔️ Real numbers: 10 arbitrage units averaging ~$1,800/month profit per unit in one complex ✔️ How she got her first YES after 77 NOs (and why action beats perfect timing) ✔️ The deal analysis approach: comps-based revenue projections (not hope-based underwriting) ✔️ How to “secret shop” top listings and build a property that competes in today’s market ✔️ What makes a property defensible: something competitors can’t copy (views, rooftop, unique features) ✔️ Why “design + professional photography” is one of the most underrated growth levers ✔️ Systems + automation: messaging sequences, smart locks, cameras, PriceLabs, SOPs ✔️ Team building: cleaners, handymen, VAs, revenue management, ops (and how it scales)🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Medicine is meaningful—but it’s not always safe. Build options. ✅ Arbitrage and co-hosting can be powerful on-ramps when you don’t have big down payment money. ✅ Owning is the long-term play—but you can earn your way into ownership faster than you think. ✅ The best STR operators don’t “hope” for revenue—they analyze comps and engineer the outcome. ✅ In a competitive market, “a bed + a painting” won’t cut it—design and amenities win bookings. ✅ Systems and team are what turn STRs from chaos into leverage. ✅ If you want freedom, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable (77 no’s is the tuition).Connect With Dr. Jessica KatzWebsiteInstagramLinkedInIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

Aaron shares real-world examples—including a surgeon who injured his hand—and explains why disability insurance isn’t just for proceduralists… it matters for family medicine, psych, and everyone in between.If you’re building wealth through real estate and entrepreneurship, this episode is a reminder: protect the engine before you upgrade the vehicle.🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why your physician income is your #1 wealth-building tool until assets replace it ✔️ The biggest mistake doctors make: assuming employer disability is “good enough” ✔️ What “true own-occupation” means—and why it can pay even if you work another job ✔️ Why waiting to buy can cost you (exclusions from back pain, anxiety meds, labs, etc.) ✔️ A simple napkin-math framework for how much coverage is “enough” ✔️ The best time to buy: residency/fellowship discounts + GSI (guaranteed options) ✔️ The key riders doctors should understand (and the ones that actually matter) ✔️ Partial/residual disability: the scenario most physicians don’t realize can happen ✔️ What disability looks like for practice owners (business overhead expense coverage) ✔️ Common “cheap policy” traps that look good now—but fail when you need them🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Your biggest asset isn’t your rentals or retirement account—it’s your ability to earn. Protect it. ✅ Employer disability often caps low and can be taxable… leaving a huge gap. ✅ “True own-occupation” is the game-changer: it protects your specific physician job. ✅ Buy earlier while you’re healthy—waiting can lead to exclusions or higher costs. ✅ The riders matter: non-cancelable/guaranteed renewable, residual, COLA, and future purchase options are huge. ✅ If you own a practice, consider policies that keep the lights on if you can’t work. ✅ Don’t fall for cut-rate coverage—disability insurance is one place you don’t want to “cheap out.”Connect With Aaron Brooker:LinkedInWebsiteIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

Confidence comes from clarity. ✅ Negotiation isn’t combat—it’s a calm conversation that lowers emotional threat. ✅ Thinking like a CEO means you stop asking “What are the rules?” and start asking “What are my options?” ✅ A raise can feel good… but autonomy, purpose, and alignment are what actually sustain you. ✅ Emotional capacity is a physician skill: when you can name the feeling, you’ve already started solving the problem. ✅ Your career is a business—whether you treat it that way or not.If you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

We go deep into why physicians get stuck (fear + lack of financial education), how to break through analysis paralysis, and why commercial real estate syndications can be one of the most powerful wealth vehicles when you focus on the operator, the underwriting, and the downside protection.This episode is a blueprint for physicians who want financial freedom—not to quit medicine… but to practice it because they WANT to.🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why physicians often get shamed for investing—and how to tune out the noise ✔️ How Yasser paid off $386K of student loans fast (and why “raw horsepower” + strategy matters) ✔️ The real reason W-2 income is a trap at high tax brackets—and how real estate flips the tax equation ✔️ First steps for new physician investors: education → community → first LP deal ✔️ Why becoming a passive investor (LP) can be the best “training wheels” in real estate ✔️ How to avoid shiny object syndrome: sample asset classes first, then pick your lane ✔️ Commercial real estate basics: how value is created through NOI + cap rates (not comps) ✔️ Depreciation + cost segregation: why “paper losses” can supercharge passive investing ✔️ The importance of conservative underwriting + sensitivity analysis (“punch in the face” planning) ✔️ Med tech investing: what to look for (track record, FDA experience, execution, team) and why returns can be asymmetric🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Your financial education is your responsibility—this stuff is easier than boards, but you must start. ✅ You don’t need to pick the “perfect” asset class on day one—take a sample, then commit. ✅ Passive investing isn’t “lazy”—it can be the smartest way to learn and build wealth while staying focused on your career. ✅ The deal should survive rough seas: conservative assumptions + downside planning matters more than hype. ✅ Your WHY is the fuel—agency, family time, and freedom are the real reasons we do this. ✅ There’s something for everyone: multifamily, assisted living, STRs, RV parks, med tech—pick the lane that fits your goals.🎧 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄.If you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

🎙️ Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with host, Dr. Alex Schloe.💡 What if the fastest way to build real wealth isn’t finding the perfect deal… but getting in the right rooms with the right people and letting relationships compress your timeline?In this episode, Alex sits down with return guest Dr. Kyle Stephenson—orthopedic surgeon, investor, community builder, and founder of the Legacy Rx Conference and the Doctors Investor Club. Kyle shares what he’s learned over the past year of building events, growing physician investor networks, navigating wins and painful lessons, and why he’s shifted from chasing “home runs” to stacking consistent singles with high-integrity partners.This conversation is a blueprint for physician investors who want to build wealth with faith, family, and freedom at the center—and avoid the mistakes that cost real money (and stress) along the way.🔥 What you’ll learn:Legacy Rx behind the scenes: What Kyle learned from hosting his first real estate conference—and why execution is harder than the visionThe “right rooms” principle: Why most people say they want growth… but don’t take action to show upDoctors Investor Club explained: How Kyle partnered with the Family Office Club to give physicians access to elite investor roomsNetworking at the next level: Rubbing elbows with pro athletes, family offices, and high-level operators—and why that mattersHard lessons from bad deals: Ponzi schemes, underperforming assets, and what Kyle now does differently to protect capitalWalk every property: Why Kyle refuses to invest (or bring investors) into deals he hasn’t personally visitedSponsor alignment > IRR: Why faith, integrity, and family values matter more than projected returnsVelocity of money: Using tools like whole life cash value + borrowing + cash-flowing assets to make one dollar work twiceMacro matters: Why young physicians must understand inflation, currency debasement, and why “saving cash” quietly loses🔥 Key Takeaways:Your network is your net worth. The right rooms accelerate belief, confidence, and opportunity.Most people don’t have an information problem—they have an action problem. Showing up is the real separator.If the deal feels too good to be true… it probably is. Trust your instincts and verify everything.Bet on the operator first. The sponsor is the jockey—don’t ignore character and alignment.Integrity is expensive in the short-term—but priceless long-term. Your reputation is an asset.Stop letting money sit idle. Inflation is real, and cash is quietly losing value every year.Freedom is the goal.

🎙️ Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with host, Dr. Alex Schloe.💡 What if the fastest way to financial freedom isn’t “starting small”… but taking bold action on a deal so good you figure out the money later?In this episode, Alex sits down with Dr. Erin Hudson (Doctor of Chiropractic)—a physician-turned-investor and serial entrepreneur who went from 0 doors to 26 doors in 24 months, completed 231+ buy/sell transactions, and eventually scaled into multifamily ownership with 2,600+ units.Erin breaks down how she bought six rentals at once in Indianapolis from Southern California (without knowing exactly where all the capital would come from), how she used relationships, negotiation, double closes, and scarcity to scale, and why integrity matters most when real estate punches you in the mouth.This is a masterclass in momentum, mindset, and building a legacy that outlives you.🔥 What you’ll learn:0 → 6 in one move: Why Erin bought all six rentals (not one) when the barrier to entry was low—and committed before she felt “ready”Finding the money later (responsibly): How she pulled together capital through creative options (including lending + leverage) because the deal was too strong to ignoreInvesting outside your backyard: Why she chose landlord-friendly markets with lower barriers to entry instead of overpriced coastal real estateThe “law of the first deal”: Why the first leap is the hardest—and how momentum follows actionRinse-and-repeat deal stacking: How she structured deals to sell two and keep one “for free,” then repeated the processIntegrity under pressure: The story of the fraudulent title company, the financial loss, and the decision to still do right by her investorsSingle-family → multifamily pivot: The moment she realized she’d been playing “Monopoly on Vermont” and could start aiming for “Boardwalk”How to pick sponsors/operators: Why the property is the horse—but the operator is the jockeyLegacy + kids + money: Practical ways Erin teaches her kids wealth, ownership, and discipline through real assets and transparency🔥 Key Takeaways:The deal can pull you forward. If it’s truly a home-run, you can often solve the capital stack after you commit.You don’t need to invest where you live. Go where the math works and the rules protect landlords.Confidence comes after action. Most people wait to feel ready—winners move, then grow into the identity.Real estate is a team sport. Relationships and operators matter as much as underwriting.Integrity compounds. Your reputation is an asset—protect it, even when it costs you in the short term.Bet on the jockey first. The sponsor/operator’s track record and character will decide whether the deal survives reality.Legacy is taught, not told.

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with your host, Dr. Alex Schloe.💡 What if you could “recycle” your money—pay down debt, invest in real estate, and keep control of your cash flow—by adding just one step to your financial system?In today’s episode, Alex is joined by Dr. Brent Kessler, creator of the Money Multiplier Method and a leading teacher on the Infinite Banking Concept. Brent shares how he went from nearly $1,000,000 in debt to paying it off in 39 months—without “working harder” or changing his income—by restructuring how money flows through his life.You’ll hear why this strategy is controversial (because it uses properly-designed whole life insurance) and why Brent argues the real conversation is about control + liquidity, not hype.🔥 What you’ll learn:Infinite Banking in Plain English: What it is and what it’s actually designed to doThe Money Multiplier Method: How Brent paid off ~$984,711 in debt in 39 months by adding one stepWhole Life (Done Right): Why policy structure matters (mutual company, dividend-paying, high early cash value)Recapture & Recycle Your Money: The “car example” and how the same dollars can be reused strategicallyControl + Liquidity: Why Brent says sending money directly to lenders = money leaving your family foreverGuaranteed vs Non-Guaranteed: Contractual guarantees vs dividends—and why the floor mattersNot an Investment—A Financing Tool: Why Brent says this is about financing everything you do, not chasing returnsThe Biggest Risk Is You: Why discipline matters—and how canceling/violating the policy contract creates problems🔥 Key Takeaways:This strategy is about control—keeping your money working inside a system you own before deploying it.The “secret sauce” isn’t life insurance—it’s how the policy is engineered and implemented.This is not “any life insurance.” It’s a specifically designed policy built for accessible cash value.The goal isn’t to replace real estate—it’s to create a stronger financing foundation for investing and debt payoff.This is a marathon, not a sprint—consistency + discipline is the game.Connect with Dr. Brent Kesler:WebsiteLinkedInPodcastIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

Investigate utilities and entitlements before you spend big on plans and pre-construction.Momentum follows courage. Do the first jump scared—confidence comes after the leap.Community accelerates growth. The right rooms normalize action and expand what you believe is possible.Wealth is a tool for presence.

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with your host, Dr. Alex Schloe.💡 What if you could build long-term wealth and freedom through real estate—without sacrificing your calling as a physician or taking on another full-time job?In today’s episode, Alex is joined by Clint Harris, professional real estate investor, capital raiser at Nomad Capital, founder of Going Coastal Property Management, and host of the Truly Passive Income podcast. Clint has raised over $150M in stabilized assets and brings a rare blend of experience from medical device sales, active real estate operations, and large-scale passive syndications.Clint shares his journey from early real estate mistakes to scaling Airbnbs, building a property management company, and ultimately focusing on self-storage conversions—turning underutilized big-box buildings into high-performing, cash-flowing assets through forced appreciation. Throughout the conversation, Clint and Alex explore how physicians can use syndication and passive investing as powerful tools to regain time, clarity, and independence of purpose.🔥 What you’ll learn:From Medical Sales to Real Estate Freedom: How Clint transitioned from a demanding medical sales career into full-time real estate investing while preserving relationships and purpose.The Golden Handcuffs Problem: Why lifestyle creep traps many high-income physicians—and how real estate can help break the cycle.The 3 Pillars of Real Estate Success: Why every deal requires time, experience, and money, and how physicians can win by partnering when they don’t have all three.Self-Storage Conversion Strategy: How buying $2–3M vacant buildings and investing another $2–3M can create stabilized assets worth $9–17M through NOI-based valuation.Syndications Explained for Physicians: Why most commercial real estate is owned through syndications—and how passive investing lets your capital work while you’re in the hospital.Operator Due Diligence: What to look for in sponsors, why communication matters most when things go wrong, and how recent market stress revealed who was truly prepared.Money as Stored Life Energy: A powerful reframe on capital, responsibility, and why investing should align with your family’s goals, values, and long-term vision.🔥 Key Takeaways:Passive investing can be an ideal lane for physicians with capital but limited time.Lifestyle creep—not income—is often the biggest barrier to freedom.Self-storage conversions create value by changing how assets are valued, not just by improving buildings.In syndications, the operator matters more than the deal on paper.Define your life goals first—then choose investments that support them.Money is stored life energy and should be stewarded with intention and integrity.True wealth is about independence of purpose: going where you want, when you want, and doing what matters most.If you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

Welcome back to another meaningful episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with your host, Dr. Alex Schloe.💡 What if the life you dreamed of—the parent you hoped to be, the spouse you wanted to become, the physician you envisioned—can’t be built inside the limits of your current medical schedule? What if the real path to freedom isn’t time off or a lighter call schedule… …but cash-flowing assets, ownership, and autonomy?In today’s episode, Dr. Alex shares the deeply personal story of the night everything changed during residency—a night in the middle of peak COVID when exhaustion, fear, and a single text from his pregnant wife forced him to confront a truth he had never allowed himself to consider. Medicine alone was not enough to build the life he wanted for his family.This episode is an invitation for physicians to rethink freedom, redefine identity, and reclaim the autonomy they were never taught to build in training.🔥 What you’ll learn:The Night Everything Changed: How a moment of fear during peak COVID uncovered the unsustainable reality of modern medical training—and sparked the search for a different path.Your Identity Beyond the White Coat: Why your degree is not your entire identity, and why separating who you are from what you do is essential for long-term joy and fulfillment.The Power of Your First Passive Income Check: How a $1,000/month short-term rental fundamentally reshaped Alex’s view of freedom, work, identity, and what was possible for his life.The Lie Physicians Are Taught: Why “just work harder and someday it gets easier” is a myth—and how physicians unintentionally sacrifice their health, families, and dreams waiting for a future that never arrives.The Three Freedoms Every Physician Needs: Time freedom: Control over your hours. Financial freedom: Income not tied to patient volume. Mental freedom: Space to breathe, dream, and build a life outside the hospitalWhy Real Estate Isn’t an Escape—It’s a Launchpad: How entrepreneurship and investing bring physicians back to the best version of themselves in medicine: more present, healthier, grounded, and fulfilled.🔥 Key Takeaways:Freedom doesn’t come from time—it comes from cash-flowing assets.Your first passive income check flips a switch you can never unsee.You’re allowed to build a bigger life—without being ungrateful for medicine.Burnout isn’t a personal failure; it’s a systems failure.Real estate creates options, and options create life.Medicine was designed to serve others—not to give you financial freedom.You are more than the white coat. More than the stethoscope.Your medical degree is not your identity—it’s your launchpad.The dream you’re chasing is often hidden inside the work you’ve been avoiding.When you reclaim time, financial margin, and mental space, you become the physician—and the person—you always hoped to be.If you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with your host, Dr. Alex Schloe.💡 What if you could transform senior care, build a community-impacting legacy, and create financial freedom—all through purpose-built residential assisted living?In today’s episode, Alex is joined by Dr. Chloe Kilman, a geriatric physician, and her husband Nicholas Blanchard, co-founders of Bloom Homes Assisted Living in Mississippi. Chloe and Nick are developing a 16-bed luxury memory care mansion—a model that blends exceptional dementia care with the warmth and dignity of a true home.They share their journey from discovering the RAL model in 2022 to purchasing land, assembling their team, navigating city approvals, securing SBA financing, and preparing to break ground. Along the way, they open up about the challenges, the learning curve, the wins, and the deep motivation behind their mission: raising the standard of memory care in their community.Through this inspiring conversation, Chloe and Nick show what’s possible when clinicians and families come together to create innovative, patient-centered solutions for an aging population.🔥 What you’ll learn:From Idea to Development: How Chloe & Nick went from discovering residential assisted living to designing a 10,000 sq ft, 16-bed memory care mansion on land large enough for three homes.Why Ground-Up Beats Conversion: The zoning, layout, and cost considerations that led them to pursue new construction instead of retrofitting an existing home.The Memory Care Mansion Model: What makes this 1:5–1:8 caregiver ratio so powerful—and why smaller, home-style environments outperform many large facilities.Behind the Scenes of New Development: A breakdown of land acquisition, architecture, engineering, contractor selection, Department of Health approvals, and the emotional rollercoaster of SBA lending and appraisals.Funding the Project: How they’re structuring a joint-venture model, working with lenders, and using an SBA 7(a) loan to finance construction, FF&E, working capital, and lease-up reserves.Community Impact: Why Bloom Homes will not only improve dignity and care for seniors—but also create high-quality jobs, support families, and eventually help train dementia caregivers through nonprofit initiatives.🔥 Key Takeaways:Small homes mean better care. A 16-bed memory care home can offer better monitoring, stronger relationships, and deeper dignity than many 100+ resident facilities.You don’t need to quit your job to build an assisted living business. Systems, mentorship, and accountability make development possible—even while working full-time.Success is built on relationships. Banks, architects, appraisers, zoning boards, caregivers, and mastermind groups all play a crucial role.The SBA 7(a) is a powerful tool. Few industries allow you to build a multimillion-dollar business with as little as 10% down while financing construction and working capital.RAL is both impaIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind

🎙️ Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with host, Dr. Alex Schloe.💡 What if your path to financial freedom wasn’t choosing either active real estate or passive syndications—but designing a portfolio that uses both for cash flow, tax efficiency, and time freedom?In this episode, Alex sits down with Dr. Chirag Chaudhari—an emergency medicine physician and multi-asset investor with holdings across multifamily, short-term rentals, hotel-to-multifamily conversions, land, oil & gas, and preferred equity.
