Not just content with financial success, Ian is also passionately involved in philanthropic endeavors, notably in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His dedication towards establishing churches, schools, and healthcare facilities in the region is truly commendable. If you've ever wondered about the intersections of medicine, real estate, and philanthropy, this Doctors Building Wealth episode offers a deep dive into the journey of someone who has seamlessly blended all three.

Ready to merge the worlds of surgery, tech, and community? Imagine having all the surgical resources, colleagues, and expertise right at your fingertips, 24/7, no matter where you are in the world.
Say hello to Dr. Mark Soliman and the SurgeOn app!
In this episode, we dive deep with Dr. Mark Soliman, the mastermind behind the SurgeOn, the LinkedIn for the surgical community.
Dr. Soliman, Chief of Colorectal Surgery and Program Medical Director for the AdventHealth Digestive Health Institute, started off as a surgeon who had a natural aversion to business. But as he got deeper into his career, he realized the importance of taking control of the finance and strategy to execute his vision. He was hungry for a platform where surgeons could talk, learn, and collaborate without any commercial bias. So he founded SurgeOn, a unique digital ecosystem solely dedicated to the surgical community.
His venture has three main verticals for revenue: educational grants that fund webinars, a robust platform for hosting surgical meetings, and subscriptions to industry partners who get read-only access to the platform. What sets SurgeOn apart is its surgeon-centric approach—no selling data, no ads, just pure educational and collaborative space. Dr. Soliman's aim? To make SurgeOn the go-to international hub for all things surgical, offering a safe and secure space for surgeons to collaborate, share, and grow.
In this podcast episode, we explore his unlikely journey from being averse to business to becoming a disruptive entrepreneur in the medical field. How does the SurgeOn app monetize? What's the vision for the next five years? And why is a growth mindset crucial for not just surgeons but everyone?
Dr. Soliman drops knowledge bombs on all things entrepreneurial and surgical, plus shares exclusive insights into the future of this groundbreaking platform. This is your chance to peek behind the surgical mask and into the world of medical tech innovation.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Doctors Building Wealth podcast! Join Leti and Kenji as they share their journey from Lake Como in Italy, where they discuss the topic of going international and buying an Italian villa. Their goal has always been to create a life where they could own an Italian villa to use as a gathering place for friends and family, and this dream is now becoming a reality.
They explore the various reasons why some investors choose to buy rental properties in foreign countries, such as obtaining a golden visa for citizenship or residency, leveraging geographic arbitrage in affordable markets, benefiting from currency arbitrage, and diversifying their real estate portfolios across different countries.
Leti shares her experience of overcoming initial challenges in securing a loan for the Italian property and explains a unique syndication structure they devised to bring their dream closer to reality. This innovative structure allows passive investors to invest in the property and receive a return or stay in the villa for a certain period each year, while Leti and Kenji still have ample time to rent out the property as a short-term rental and make it a profitable venture.
They also highlight the potential tax benefits, such as accelerated depreciation, for foreign properties. The episode concludes with an inspiring message for real estate investors to explore various possibilities in international property investments and make their dreams of owning properties in different countries a reality.
Tune in to discover how you can embrace international real estate investments and create a life of travel and multiple rental properties around the world. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Leti and Kenji's experience and be inspired to take your real estate investment journey to the next level!

In this week's podcast, we interview Dr. Gregory Hanson. He is a radiologist by training who founded flipMD, a physician-focused freelancing platform.
What is truly remarkable about his story is that he started this company with his wife during residency and sold it to GoodRx in a little less than two years! Not only that, he did this with very little venture funding and he also managed the entire M&A (mergers and acquisitions) process himself without a broker.
In this episode, we also delve briefly into his real estate journey. Like so many others in our community, he invested in short-term rentals, not only for the cashflow but also for the tax advantages.

This week's guest is Dr. Latifat Akintade. She is a practicing Gastroenterologist with an emphasis in Inflammatory bowel diseases. Latifat is also the founder of MoneyFitMD, a money coaching platform for women physicians and author of Done with Broke.
Latifat knew nothing about money, investment or real estate until about 5 years ago when she realized that she was on the fast track to burn out. In the last 5 years, she and her husband have achieved financial independence through diversifying their sources of incomes. They started actively investing in 2019 after completing the Zero to Freedom course with Leti and Kenji. They currently own 11 doors in California and Washington state.
With the right tools, she believes every woman physician can create their own rich life. Real estate can be a key part of that vehicle. She also believes that money is a tool for change and critical in our conversation of helping disempowered women physicians become empowered money badasses. When physicians are financially independent, they will practice medicine because they want to and not because they have to.
When she is not coaching physicians or treating GI illnesses, she enjoys traveling with her family, spending time in her hammock, cooking and kicking it with her girlfriends. Her mantras in life are “Everything is possible. You simply have to choose” and “heaven is closer by the ocean”.
Latifat will be speaking at our FREE virtual summit on August 1st. Register now at semiretiredmd.com/ffvs23 to grab your FREE ticket!

Would you consider yourself a planner?
Many, like Kenji, don't see themselves as planners. In fact, research has shown that people with Kenji's personality type actually struggle with planning. The reason is, his personality is a go, go, go-type personality. He's constantly getting sh*t done, so stopping to plan feels like waste of time.
However, over the last 3-6 months, this has all changed.
Now, instead of labeling himself "I'm not a planner," he now loves to plan and can't imagine beginning his day without a plan.
Why the dramatic shift?
He reached a threshold. A threshold is the point at which you get fed up with your current situation and you decide to make a change.
So how did he make the shift?
First thing is, he changed his identity. See, if you label yourself "I'm not a planner," then you will do whatever it takes to maintain that identity. Once you change your identity to "I'm a planner," things start to change. All of a sudden, you no longer fiercely hold onto the old identity.
Second, he made time for it each day. It is actually built into his daily schedule.
Third, he started to see positive results from planning, which created a positive reinforcement loop.
See, when you plan effectively, you get better results.
This is one of the keys to planning. It's not about getting more sh*t done. It's about focusing on the things you value the most.
For example, you might value having your kids see you as a fun and loving dad. If that's the outcome you're seeking, then you have to plan time to create those fun and loving moments with your kids.
This gives each to-do on your list more meaning. It's not something you check off. Instead, each to-do is important and meaningful to you, so when you accomplish it, you are achieving the results you're seeking.
Now this episode isn't just about Kenji's dramatic shift, Leti also made significant changes to how she plans. She now organizes her planning around the different roles she plays in life for example: mother, wife, CEO, and community.

If you're an entrepreneur or thinking about becoming one, you've probably heard about the value of Masterminds.
But what is a Mastermind? And what exactly are the benefits?
In this episode, we are joined by the other members of our Mastermind (Dr. Peter Kim, Dr. Sunny Smith, and Dr. Bonnie Koo) to share how ours began and how it's had a profound impact not only on our respective businesses but other aspects of our lives as well.

So when are you going to start your own Mastermind group?
Have you ever heard yourself say, "I just don't have enough time to do [fill in the blank].
This is one of the most common excuses we hear from prospective students of our Zero to Freedom and Accelerating Wealth courses.
They say, for example, "it's not a good time, maybe in 6 months."
We understand that life happens and some people legitimately have more important things going on in their lives that they have to prioritize.
But our guess is that it's the minority. Most people thinking about getting into real estate investing, DO have the time.
Where does this come from? Oftentimes, it's rooted in fear. It's an excuse that they make up in their minds to help them cope with the fact that they aren't taking action.
The reality is, they just aren't making it a priority.
Ultimately, we all have the time to handle whatever we make a priority. If a loved one fell ill, you'd find the time to take care of them because their well-being is a priority to you.
So, is becoming financially independent a priority for you?

One of the most common laments we hear is "I just don't have enough time for this stuff." This week, we talk about how putting on our own oxygen masks first (figuratively speaking) has made us each more productive. That has had the effect of giving us each more time in our day. Check it out and see if adopting something similar can add time to your day as well.

Ever wonder how real estate investors generate enough losses to shelter their income?
By maximizing tax write-offs!
In this episode, we cover the most common expenses you can write-off as a real estate investor. Things like:
- Writing off a car for your real estate business
- What you can write-off when you're traveling with your kids to work on your property
- What you can write-off before you buy that first rental property
We even cover topics for the advanced investor, for example:
- The difference between an expense and a capitalized expense and why you would want one over another
- Limits on how much you can write-off of your W2 income
- Caps on the losses that you roll over year after year
If you want to maximize your tax efficiency, you won't want to miss this episode!

We are excited to share an exclusive interview with J Scott from our 2022 Fast FIRE to Freedom Summit, which was held in August 2022.
J has a wealth of real estate experience and is the author of several books, including Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing and The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs.
J and his wife started investing in 2008 and flipped over 400 homes between 2008 and 2016. After years of house flipping, he transitioned to investing in large multifamily properties. This move was prompted by his study of economic cycles. He realized that flipping houses or "transactional real estate" as he called it, wasn't a good investment during a downturn. On the other hand, multifamily investing, more specifically, cashflowing multifamily properties is what he found to be a great asset class to be in during a downturn.
This interview is packed with learning pearls and lessons. One of the biggest lessons he learned was not paying attention to taxes early on in his career. One of the benefits for new investors is that you can learn from other people's mistakes! The lesson here is, lower your tax burden as soon as possible so you can grow your money faster with compounding.
As you know, here at Semi-Retired MD, we focus a lot on helping doctors and high-income professionals lower their taxes with cashflowing rentals. If you want to learn more, here are two strategies you can use: Real Estate Professional Status and Short-Term Rental Tax Loophole.

Do you feel the fear in the streets?
Whether or not we are in a recession (some say we are, some say we aren't), there's no question that the current environment (inflation, rising mortgage rates) has struck fear in the hearts of many real estate investors.
So what are we doing? We're going to continue doing what we've always done. We're going to continue to buy great deals. As Warren Buffett said, "be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” So this is the time to push through the fear, have courage and not just survive, but thrive!
In this episode, we're going to share 10 tips for investing during a recession. This episode is based on Kenji's decades of real estate investing and investing through three downturns.
Here are the links to our cash-on-cash (COC) calculators that we mention during this episode:

In this week's podcast, we follow the journey of Shama and Sipra, sisters-in-law and now co-founders of an exciting new start-up called LunaJoy.
Their origins in business actually started with real estate through our Zero to Freedom course.
Shama stumbled upon our course in the midst of the COVID pandemic and this lit a fire under her, acquiring a total of 13 doors in a short period of time and claiming real estate professional status in 2020 and 2021. From there, Sipra also got into real estate investing.
It was this experience in real estate and the mindset work in the course that spurred them to start LunaJoy and build it into an 8 figure business!

In this episode, we interview Katrina Ubell and learn about her journey of transitioning from being a full-time physician to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Katrina Ubell is a pediatrician who worked in a private practice for over 10 years. She is now a certified life and weight-loss coach who has successfully helped over 1,300 physicians overcome/solve their weight-loss dilemmas. Growing up, owning a company, or starting a business was never in the picture for her. Katrina doesn't have any business background, but she grew interested in becoming an entrepreneur after catching just a glimpse of it.
When she was in medical school, her body weight became an issue for her. Over the course of her training, she kept gaining and losing weight and could not figure out a way to lose the weight and keep it off. As she was approaching the age of 40, she did a life reevaluation. It was then she discovered life coaching and it changed her perspective entirely. It helped her to understand why what she was doing before wasn't working, and what she needed to change moving forward.
2016 was a pivotal year for her. She was able to lose the weight she had been struggling with for years, but still, she wasn’t entirely fulfilled. She was feeling trapped in her medical practice and wanted to try something new while assisting her clients in getting results. She attended various webinars and courses where she learned how to run a business. That was her stepping stone in terms of broadening her base of understanding and building out a foundation for herself. It became a snowball effect from there as she felt empowered by helping others reach their weight-loss goals.
Everything happened gradually. At first, building a team and learning how to manage and lead people, were not among her priorities. As she ran her business, she started hiring people -- sharing ideas and building things together. Even when she had people helping her out with the technical side of the business, Katrina was still attending courses herself. With first-hand experience, Katrina now teaches her students to trust themselves and their intuition. She strongly believes "it's not always the experts that know everything, you know a lot more than you give yourself credit for”.
Though things looked like it was smooth sailing for her, Katrina still had her rough times. There were things that just didn’t work out well for her. She says, “Entrepreneurship was amazing and difficult at the same time”. She hired a publicist as she was working on
attracting a literary agent for promotion - to get a book deal. This was towards the end of 2020, and without getting into more detail, Katrina and her team did not do their due diligence on her. She learned a lot from that experience and says, "it's easy to be like, I met this person and they seem great. It's a good idea before you really move forward to check a person out."
Success for Katrina means to keep going. She believes it’s continuing to persevere through the hard parts. She also continually works on herself like she always has to grow as a business owner and a leader. The impact that she wants to make on other people and on herself is what keeps her motivated and determined. She has the willingness to fight the odds while learning and growing. For Katrina, true wealth is having the finances to live your day-to-day exactly as you want. She believes that you should also find balance. Whatever that balance is, you should allow time to take care of yourself, time to do your work, and time to spend with the people who are most important to you.

Short-term rentals (STRs), also known as Airbnbs or vacation rentals have become increasingly popular over the last few years. This interest spiked during the COVID pandemic, and despite a recent slowdown, interest continues to be strong in the post-COVID era.
We have seen the same trend in our groups. Three years ago, very few in our community were talking about STRs. Now, we see the vast majority are planning to add at least one STR to their portfolio over the next few years. Why such a high, almost frenzied level of interest?
One reason is the potential for high cashflow. It’s not unusual for a single STR to cashflow $50,000 to $100,000 when you self-manage.
Short-term rentals also give high-income professionals a way to shelter their income while continuing to work full-time. Real estate professional status requires that you spend more time in real estate than your current profession, so it is not an option for those who choose to work full-time. These are just a few of the many reasons why so many high-income professionals are investing in STRs.
With so many great benefits, it’s not hard to see why there’s so much interest in short-term rentals. However, when it comes to investing, you can’t just focus on the upsides, you HAVE TO carefully think through the downsides. Otherwise, there’s a considerable risk that you lose money! This is one of the main reasons we created our course, Accelerating Wealth. We wanted to ensure that members of our community limit their mistakes and avoid falling into the common short-term rental traps.
If you want to learn more about the course and how it can help you accelerate your wealth, be sure to tune in!!
Accelerating Wealth is open for enrollment twice a year. If enrollment isn’t open yet, you can join our waitlist to be enrolled in our next course!

In this episode, we wanted to address a topic that we hear a lot about in our community: Is real estate asset protection worth it?
On one side, we have those who feel that insurance-alone is enough to protect you. They also believe that these asset protection strategies are simply money-making schemes and don't really afford you any additional asset protection.
On the other side, we have those who don't think insurance is enough. They feel the need to add an additional layer of asset protection so they can sleep better at night.
So what's the right answer? Be sure to tune in to find out!

The COVID pandemic was an unprecedented event that posed numerous challenges for real estate investors. One of the biggest challenges for owners was the loss of revenue from non-paying tenants. On top of the that, governments enacted eviction moratorium, which prevented owners from evicting these non-paying tenants.
While COVID was unprecedented, these challenges aren't unique. These same challenges can occur during a global recession. So the lessons we learned from COVID are directly applicable to owners as they prepare for a future recession. In this episode, we cover these lessons and how you can use these lessons to help you prepare for an uncertain future!

In this episode, we go into the logistics of becoming a digital nomad with family.
We first became digital nomads in 2017 when we had a 12 month old. We did it again in 2021, this time with three children and a fourth child joining us intermittently.
We thought this would be a good episode to record now because we are seeing so many of our Zero to Freedom students getting to the point where they’re achieving greater freedoms, both financial and time freedom, as they grow their real estate portfolios.
We’re also seeing many students enjoy their freedoms sooner because they understand the importance of enjoying the journey, not just focusing on getting to the destination. So you’ll see them taking 2 months off at a time to explore the world (and of course checking out real estate along the way) or checking off those bucket list items that they never imagined they would be doing at such a young age.
We also wanted to highlight that you don’t have to stop investing in real estate while you are abroad. As long as you have everything in place ahead of time to allow you to find, acquire and manage a property long-distance (even from another continent away!).

Looks like we're headed into a recession. Regardless, we think it's best to be prepared.
We've been preparing for the recession since 2015. Even if you haven't, it's not too late to "recession-proof" your real estate portfolio. What do we mean by "recession-proofing" your real estate portfolio?
Finding recession-proof tenants! Renting your property to tenants who get their rent subsidized - ideally by the government, but it can be a non-profit or a company. If it's a company, you want to make sure that the company is recession-resistant (for example, a hospital).

If you've ever seen an ad for a real estate syndication, you might have come across headlines like this one:
"Get the benefits of investing in real estate without becoming a landlord!"
"This is your last chance to write off taxable income using 100% bonus depreciation!"
While these benefits sound amazing, the problem is, many of these headlines are misleading.
We're not saying that real estate syndications or the people leading them are bad. In fact, we led a syndication last year when we bought our 160 unit property. It's just that the people selling you on these syndications sometimes are not telling you the whole truth. And it makes sense. Being on the active side of investing is extremely lucrative. Syndicators make a lot of money with your money.
So in this episode, we uncover these truths so you have a balanced perspective before investing in a real estate syndication.

We often get asked the question, "how do you manage to do it all?"
From the outside looking in, it's a fair question. We run a multi-million dollar business, we own and operate over 150 apartment units, we have four children, we travel about 5 months a year, we attend a meeting or conference almost monthly...the list goes on and on.
But the reality is, we don't!
It might seem like we have it all together but we're just like anyone else. One difference might be that we're always striving to improve our productivity. Just like James Clear says in his book, Atomic Habits, we're aiming to get 1% better every day. Check out the episode to hear our top tips for getting more done so others will ask you, "how do YOU manage to do it all?"

Nuria Rivera joins us for today's Podcast to talk about title and escrow.
She has had her title and escrow company for almost 7 years now. Her goal when starting her own company was to shift the systems and processes to make the process easier for everyone involved.
Nuria explains how Title companies have three main functions which include helping buyers protect themselves from different issues that happened in the past such as liens against the properties, boundary line issues and any defects against the property.
Tune in to find out what the other important functions of a title and escrow company are and why they are so important for successful real estate transactions for investors!

Back in March 2019, we attended our first Tony Robbins event, a program called Unleash the Power Within. You can read more about our experience at the event in our five part series (start with Part 1 here).
At that event, we were presented with the opportunity to join another program called Tony Robbins' Platinum Partnership program.
The price tag was $230,000 (when you add up the cost of the program and all of the travel involved hauling two kids and an au pair around the world).
It took us four days to decide but eventually we took the plunge.
Was it scary? Yes.
Did we feel a little nauseated? Yes
But was it worth it?? Listen to the episode to find out!

Over the last couple of years, we have seen more and more doctors venture into entrepreneurship and start new businesses.
But the hard truth is that very few (less than 5%) of these businesses will ever achieve $1 million in revenue and an even smaller number (0.4%) make over $5 million.
With the odds stacked against you, we wanted to share our top tips for building a successful doctor-owned business.

In this episode we discuss how proximity is power. This is one of the most powerful concepts we have learned from the Tony Robbins community. We see it play out in so many different ways in our lives. If you are going to elevate your game, find your partner even, proximity is the key.
Who do you spend the most time with? Who do you spend the most time sharing ideas with? Ask yourself, are they lifting you up? Are they setting a new standard while also motivating and challenging you to be a better version of yourself?

Joel and Winnie Napenas began their real estate investing journey in 2020 after coming across the SRMD blog and deciding to take our ZTF course. While they both had their dream jobs, they realized they were not enough to get them to where they wanted to be financially. They decided to take action to further educate themselves as real estate investors. They started putting offers in while they were doing the ZTF course!
Joel and Winnie began their journey with a portfolio of small multifamily properties in the Tampa Bay area. Based out of North Carolina, they are prime examples of successfully investing out of state. Winnie was also able to achieve REPS status along the way, which sheltered their income.
Focusing on their why and viewing any bumps in the road as learning opportunities has been a key to their success. They have had an amazing journey so far and look forward to further building their real estate portfolio to include syndications and short-term rentals.
They are founders and managing partners of 5DH Partners. A real estate investing firm educating and helping dentists and professionals build cash flow and wealth through investing in real estate. See their links below.

Leti and I are moving to Puerto Rico!
If you've been following us, you know that we recently became digital nomads (link to the episode). So you might be wondering, why the sudden change?
In reality, it's not as big of a change as it seems. We'll still be traveling, A LOT, but now we'll have a home base that gives us tremendous tax advantages as well as an amazing entrepreneurial community.
Who knows, by the end of the episode, we might have you convinced to pack up your belongings and join us!

In our inaugural episode of Doctors Building Wealth, we reflect on 2021 and discuss our top 5 real estate moves. One of the biggest moves isn't really a real estate move at all, but it will probably have the biggest impact on our real estate portfolio.
2021 was a huge growth year for us. We more than doubled our portfolio to >150 units. We also deepened our expertise in tenants and common co-ownership deals as well as syndications. This episode is packed with teaching so be sure to tune in!

How often do you feel grateful for the little blue book, also known as a U.S. Passport? For Dr. Shehzad Batliwala, that little blue book is his superpower and something he feels grateful for every day. To him, there's nothing he can't do or out of reach for him now that he is a U.S. citizen.
Follow Shehzad's journey from undocumented immigrant to starting a cell phone repair business with his father to finally getting his U.S. citizenship in 2015 and all of the doors that have been opened, in large part because of the mindset of believing he can achieve anything.
It's a truly inspiring journey and with many lessons for all of us along the way!

Do you know what spells opportunity? How about a business serving the housing needs of an aging baby boomer population?
So what is this opportunity? It's called residential assisted living and the subject of this week's podcast.
We interview Dr. Sendhil Krishnan who is crushing it with residential assisted living (RAL) facilities.
He currently owns 7 of these facilities in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area and plans for massive expansion.
What's really exciting about what he's doing it is that it not only is extremely profitable, it also serves an incredible mission: serving the needs of our elderly population.
On top of that, as a physician, he is able to differentiate himself from other RAL facilities and really pioneering the care provided at these facilities from preventing hospitalizations to improved health monitoring.
This is such an exciting opportunity, Leti and I are looking into getting into the RAL space ourselves! Stay tuned!

Are you looking for a way to increase cashflow from your property but don't want to deal with the hassles of a short-term rental?
Or maybe you are in a situation where the City or HOA instituted new regulations that prevent you from using your property as a short-term rental.
Enter mid-term rentals. Mid-term rentals are furnished rentals that you rent out for somewhere in between a short-term rental and a long-term rentals. These are your 30, 60 or 90 day stays.
Brian Payne, CEO and co-founder of Furnished Finder, specializes in helping you find tenants for your mid-term rental. This site is a well known resource among traveling healthcare professionals but maybe not as familiar to investors who own properties that could potentially be ideal for mid-term stays.
So if you're looking for a way to increase your cashflow or get around those short-term rental regulations, consider a mid-term rental for your next property.

This is the next installment of our Student Spotlight series where we interview students from our Zero to Freedom Course. The goal of this series is to share their real estate journeys with the hopes that their stories will inspire you to take action!
Dr. Ayush Gupta was a student in our Summer 2020 class and we have enjoyed watching him grow his real estate Empire.
We wanted to interview Ayush because he is hacking his way to financial freedom.
On the real estate side, he started out with a house hack. For those who don't know about house hacking, CLICK HERE to read about our house hack. He shares how he was able to purchase this property with an FHA loan and only putting down 3.5%! He also shares what it's like to live next door to your tenants as a physician.
In terms of life hacking, Ayush shares a number of pearls. For example, he shares how he uses a VA to help him advance so quickly in his medical career. He also leverages a VA for helping him manage his real estate portfolio. Another example is that he is very diligent about documenting systems and processes. This helps him cut down the time that it takes to complete rehabs, for example.
In this episode, we also mention a FREE download called: How to Use a VA to Grow Your Real Estate Empire

Forced appreciation is one of the most powerful wealth building strategies for real estate investors.
When most people think about appreciation, they think about market appreciation. This is a type of appreciation that occurs when the value of the properties in a market go up. As a result, you can't control whether the property value goes up or down.
In contrast, forced appreciation is something you can control. It happens when you increase the income that a property generates. When you increase the income, property values go up.
Forced appreciation works well for larger multifamily properties. When you increase the income that these properties generate, the value tends to go up. However, for smaller properties, we sometimes don't see a direct correlation between income and value. So our community often asks us, can you force appreciation smaller 1-4 unit properties? In this episode, we explore
this question and more!

If you're new to our community, you probably haven't heard the news: we've become digital nomads! You might be wondering what that even means. Well, in late August 2021, we put everything in storage and packed the rest of our belongings into 22 suitcases and are now traveling as a family unit of 7 people around the world!
In this episode we talk about the reasons we decided to embark on this journey. We also share some of the challenges of becoming digital nomads and how we are planning to address those challenges. Finally we share some strategies for how you too can make this a reality for you and your family.

You've heard us talk about cashflowing rentals, but what about cashflowing pre-schools?
That's exactly what Dr. Krishni Somaratne and her husband are doing - building an Empire of pre-schools! In this episode, you'll hear the story of how Dr. Somaratne bought their first pre-school business and what it takes to take a dying business and turn it completely around.
What struck us from this interview are the parallels between buying a pre-school business and buying a cashflowing rental. Businesses are valued on the income they generate, you look for hidden value and opportunities to improve income and you use your negotiating leverage to score a great deal.

What makes a short-term rental stay a top-notch experience? Anyone who has stayed in a short-term rental will tell you that it all comes down to hospitality. As short-term rental owners, it makes all the difference if we anticipate the needs of our guests and create a memorable experience that guests will want to return to time and time again.
To get a fresh perspective on short-term rental hospitality and service, we interviewed Wil Slickers for this week’s Rich Doc Poor Doc podcast. Wil aims to always exceed expectations, and he gives us some tips this week on ways to do that.
He also introduces the idea of creating a destination for your short-term rentals instead of buying an over-priced property in an established destination. In other words, go where nobody is going now and find ways to make the are the place to be!

How many of you have heard someone say: "There are no good deals out there."
or "You can't find good cashflowing deals in this market."
Some of our students have even been told by agents or other investors: "Maybe you should try a different market?"
If this has been your experience of the current market, then this episode is for you! In this episode, Leti and Kenji give you six different tips for competing in a hot market.
They have used these tips themselves to secure great deals and these are the tips they teach their students in their highly popular real estate course for doctors and high income professionals: Zero to Freedom Through Cashflowing Rentals.

Our students have a leg up on where we were when we first started out in our real estate investing journey in so many ways!
As a dual physician couple, it took Kenji and I over 5 years to learn on the go as we invested and built up our real estate portfolio. A lot of it was trial and error, and tons of valuable lessons!
Our accrued knowledge gives you an incredible advantage, and means that you can get a head start on your own real estate investments!
In this week's podcast episode, we discuss the five reasons why we believe that our students will be more successful than us.
Mindset
End-to-end strategy through our Zero to Freedom Course
Our agent network
Our vendor network
Community support, including our Team Investing Groups

Do you own a medical practice? Are you thinking about starting one? If so, you're not going to want to miss this episode!
If you own a medical practice, one the most important considerations is to start with the end in mind. In other words, how much are you going to sell your practice for when you're ready to move on?
In this episode, we speak with valuation expert, Chris Young. Chris is passionate about helping doctors, who "dedicate their life to service" set themselves up for retirement by maximizing the value of their practices.
During this episode, he breaks down the sources of value for a medical practice and how to maximize them at the time of sale. Just like we do with our rentals (or you can with any business for that matter!), you can "force" appreciation of your business by increasing income and decreasing expenses to raise the value.
If you're ready to learn how to maximize the value of your business, check this one out!

If you've been following our podcast, you probably know about our journey to financial freedom through cashflowing rentals. What most people don't realize that it all started with a decision to change our spending habits and SAVE!
We don't talk about saving much but the decision to save is actually one of the big shifts that students from our Zero to Freedom course make when they start their journey.
They go from dreaming about buying a vacation home, nice shoes and handbags or a new car to thinking only about duplexes!
This decision to save coupled with investing your savings in cashflowing rentals is what helps you accumulate wealth rapidly.
You can get there too, and it only requires you to make a decision!!

This is the very first of our Student Spotlight series where we interview students from our Zero to Freedom Course. The goal of this series is to hear about their real estate journeys with the hopes that their stories will inspire you to take action!
We couldn't have asked for a better guest than Alisa for our first student spotlight. She took our Summer 2020 course and immediately started taking action. Since taking our course, she has purchased two duplex and three short-term rentals!
And oh by the way, she is a full time pediatric gastroenterologist, medical director of IBD Center, mother with four children (two are autistic) and doing all of this alone because her husband is not involved (though he is very supportive!).
So if you've ever thought to yourself, how am I going to work a full time job and build a rental portfolio, think of Alisa!!

Hidden value or value add opportunities is one of our favorite topics!
Why? Because tapping into hidden value means more cashflow and forced appreciation!
In this episode we dive deep into a number of hidden value opportunities including:
- Identifying under-market rents
- Finding space for extra bedrooms or units
- Creating storage units and work spaces
- Billing back utilities
- Lowering utility bills by becoming more energy efficient
These are just some of the hidden value opportunities we covered in this episode.
If you are going to separate yourself from the average investor, you are going to want to become good at spotting hidden value!

If you're thinking about investing in real estate or even if you've bought a rental property or two, you've probably asked yourself this question: should I invest for cashflow or appreciation?
In this episode, we give you our take on this question and let you in on a little secret: we don't have to make that choice because we invest for both cashflow AND appreciation.
Here are the highlights of this episode:
- Kenji has a lot of experience investing for appreciation so he shares what it "feels" like to gamble on appreciation, both when it goes your way and when it doesn't!
- We share why we focus on investing for cashflow and what it "feels" like to own a portfolio of cashflowing properties.
- We also share how it can be life-changing to have an alternative stream of income.

Many accountants approach taxes as something to fear. You hear them saying that taking advantage of certain tax benefits will trigger an audit.
Tom and his team of accountants take the opposite approach. They view the tax code as a series of incentives and that it's their responsibility to help you benefit from these incentives and reduce your taxes.
In this episode, we cover a number of important topics:
- How you're "dead in the water" if you're just a W2 wage earner. To be able to take advantage of tax incentives, you need to be a real estate professional or own a business
- The importance of tracking hours for real estate professional status
- The secret to approaching audits the right way!
- We had an interesting discussion about the evolution of real estate professionals and what multi-million dollar real estate investors are doing differently than the average investor and what makes them successful

Have you ever wondered why so many people make poor investment decisions?
You might be surprised to learn that one of the main reasons is that that they don't take the time or space to stop and think.
When you encounter a new investment opportunity, most people can easily list all of the upsides. But how often do you stop to think deeply about the downsides? And how often do you then come up with a plan to mitigate any potential downsides?
In this episode, we go through a number of examples from students who have gone through our Zero to Freedom course. Here are a few of the investment decisions our students have asked us about:
- You guys have liquidated your 401(k), should I do the same?
- We just got the inspection report back on the property and it's a disaster! Should I run away from this deal?
- The numbers on this property look great! What am I missing?

Burnout is a word not often spoken (at least, not out loud) within the physician community, but today's guest, Russ Richmond of Laudio, seeks to change that stigma. Burnout led him on a journey of self-discovery that he shares daily with those around him, and he gives us a ton of keys to success. Learn how effective leadership, self-belief, and even proper management structure can make a huge difference in burnout and our fulfillment at home or on the job. Richmond went from working 12-hour days as a physician and quitting due to burnout to creating Laudio to help others manage each other and themselves more effectively. You won't want to miss it!
