Doctors Building Wealth

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!

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.
