We all have different views on wealth and retirement but think about retiring on your terms. Avishkar explains how he switched from trading time for money to time maximization. He talks about how passive assets like real estate and 401ks can make your money work for you while you sleep. Avishkar emphasizes the necessity of having time and money freedom to grab growth opportunities, creating a refreshing retirement picture.

Moving from modest to large multifamily investments is difficult, but Avishkar did it. He describes how he revised his investing concept and leveraged additional investors to buy larger properties. He emphasizes the necessity for large investments at fair prices and removing money constraints. Finally, Avishkar discusses how investing in larger assets can provide asymmetrical returns, stressing the necessity of diversification across asset classes and markets. 

Who is Avishkar Sabharwal?

Avishkar is an Indian hospitalist in the US and the founder and CEO of The Immigrant Doctor. Being raised by doctors, he saw the hard labor and sacrifice needed to support a family. Because of this, Avishkar wanted to create a better way to acquire financial freedom and passive income.

Real estate became Avishkar's interest after trying day trading and cryptocurrency. Then, after investing in small multifamily properties, he realized he wanted to own large apartment buildings. He works with industry veterans to purchase assets and grow his portfolio aggressively.

Despite his focus on real estate, Avishkar diversifies his income to offset market downturns. While building his real estate portfolio, he aims to look into other asset types. Avishkar's ultimate goal is to generate several passive cash flow sources to give him and his investors financial freedom and time with their families.
