In this episode of The Build Up, Candice and Malessa sit down with Dr. Benjamin Aaker, an emergency medicine physician, TEDx speaker, and real estate investor, to explore how he has built a multifaceted career. From life in the ER to scaling a real estate portfolio, Dr. Aaker shares how mindset, systems, and strategy have helped him navigate both fields. He opens up about becoming an "accidental landlord," the shift into larger multifamily investments, and the lessons he now teaches other professionals who want to diversify their careers.

Plus, the hosts break down a timely headline: rents are dropping across the U.S., but Manhattan is still on the rise. They explore why the borough continues to defy the national trend and what this means for renters and investors alike.

Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.
