๐ก What if you could use a TSP loan to help fund your real estate journey while building a portfolio of midterm rentals that produces strong cash flow without the constant turnover of short-term rentals?
In this replay episode, Iโm joined by Dr. Stephen Nellis, an active-duty Army family medicine physician and flight surgeon, to talk about military medicine, personal finance, TSP loans, and how he built a growing portfolio of furnished midterm rentals.
We also break down how he used a TSP loan alongside a VA loan, how a family second home turned into his first furnished rental, and why Furnished Finder became such an important part of his investing strategy.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ How a TSP loan can potentially be used to help cover real estate costs
โ๏ธ Why midterm rentals can offer more cash flow than traditional long-term rentals
โ๏ธ How Furnished Finder connects landlords with traveling healthcare professionals and other midterm tenants
โ๏ธ Why three- to six-month stays can reduce turnover and management headaches
โ๏ธ Why full single-family homes can work especially well for traveling professionals and families
โ๏ธ Why smaller Midwest markets can still create strong midterm-rental demand
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ Midterm rentals can create a strong balance between cash flow and operational simplicity.
โ Traveling healthcare professionals, contractors, and displaced families can create consistent demand for 30-day-plus rentals.
โ VA loans, physician loans, and TSP loans can give military physicians unique tools for building a real estate portfolio.
โ Building a reliable local team can make it possible to own and manage properties even while working, raising a family, or serving on deployment.
If you are a physician, military member, or investor looking for a practical way to build cash flow without taking on the full operational burden of short-term rentals,

๐ก What if one residential assisted living home could provide better care for seniors while also creating $10,000 or more per month in cash flow?
In this solo episode, Iโm breaking down some of the biggest lessons from our recent Residential Assisted Living Virtual Summit and why I believe this model deserves serious attention from physicians, healthcare professionals, and real estate investors.
We start with a powerful dementia care example from Teepa Snow that shows how easily cognitive decline can be missed when caregivers simply do not have enough time. A resident may appear difficult, withdrawn, or uncooperative when the real issue is slower processing, aphasia, pain, or another underlying medical or cognitive condition.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ Why cognitive decline can easily be mistaken for personality or behavioral problems
โ๏ธ Why caregiver-to-resident ratios have such a major impact on quality of care
โ๏ธ How one properly structured and occupied RAL home may generate $10,000+ per month in cash flow
โ๏ธ Why the aging baby boomer population is creating significant demand for senior housing
โ๏ธ How SBA financing can reduce the amount of capital needed to enter the business
โ๏ธ The difference between passive investing, lease-to-operator, owning and operating, partnerships, and development
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
Better senior care often starts with giving caregivers more time and fewer residents to manage.
โ
Residential assisted living can combine real estate, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and meaningful impact.
โ
The highest-margin model also requires the most operational involvement.
โ
Physicians do not need to become full-time operators to participate in residential assisted living.
โ
Lease-to-operator, passive investing, and strategic partnerships can offer more realistic entry points for busy clinicians.
โ
Residential assisted living is not about getting rich quickly. It is about building the right model and providing excellent care.
If you are a physician or investor looking for a real estate strategy that can create financial freedom while also addressing one of the biggest healthcare challenges facing our country,

In this replay episode, Dr. Alex is joined by Dr. Amir Baluch, a semi-retired anesthesiologist, real estate developer, investor, author, and co-founder of Baluch Capital.
๐ก What if the fastest path to financial freedom was not trying to figure everything out alone, but learning from people who have already found the landmines?
Dr. Baluch has built an incredible career at the intersection of medicine, real estate, private equity, private credit, tax strategy, and wealth education for physicians. Alongside his brother, he has helped manage more than 80 investment projects with a cumulative value of over $700 million. He is also the author of ๐ ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐, ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐๐: ๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ด๐ฒ ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฃ๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ and is preparing to release his next book, ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
Those experiences pushed Dr. Baluch to learn, seek mentors, understand money, and build a life where medicine was no longer his only path.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ How Dr. Baluch went from medical school rejection to anesthesiology and entrepreneurship
โ๏ธ Why mentorship can help physicians avoid costly mistakes and wasted years
โ๏ธ How cash flow helped him pull back from full-time anesthesia
โ๏ธ Why physicians should understand real estate, private equity, and private credit
โ๏ธ How to think through active versus passive investing
โ๏ธ Why masterminds, coaches, and accountability can compress your timeline
โ๏ธ How small business acquisitions can create high-yield opportunities
โ๏ธ Why healthcare businesses may be uniquely attractive for physicians
โ๏ธ How build-to-rent communities fit into Dr. Baluchโs current investment strategy
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
You are going to pay one way or another โ either with money, time, or mistakes.
โ
Mentorship can help you avoid landmines that may set you back years.
โ
Alternative investing includes more than real estate โ private equity and private credit also matter.
โ
Physicians should choose strategies that fit their skills, personality, goals, and desired lifestyle.
โ
Relationships, deal flow, and accountability can dramatically change your trajectory.

๐ก What if healthcare professionals were uniquely positioned to build businesses, invest in real estate, and create better care options for seniors?
In this replay episode, Iโm joined by Dr. Luis Chug, a quadruple board-certified physician in internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, critical care, and sleep medicine.
Dr. Chug is the founder of Breathe Sleep MD in Houston, where he helps patients with complex lung and sleep disorders. He is also an entrepreneur, educator, investor, husband, father, and healthcare leader who has built a real estate portfolio alongside his wife, Jill, who is an acute care nurse practitioner.
Together, they have invested across short-term rentals, midterm rentals, and long-term rentals. They have also launched a hospice business with nurse practitioner partners and are exploring residential assisted living as a way to help address the growing need for senior care.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ How Dr. Chug came from Peru and built a career as a quadruple board-certified physician
โ๏ธ Why he decided to open his own pulmonary and sleep medicine practice
โ๏ธ How he and his wife built a portfolio across short-term, midterm, and long-term rentals
โ๏ธ Why residential assisted living became a natural next step for their healthcare background
โ๏ธ How hospice care can align with senior housing and better end-of-life support
โ๏ธ Why healthcare workers may have a major role to play in solving senior care challenges
โ๏ธ How partnerships can help physicians leverage skills, time, relationships, and experience
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
Real estate does not have to happen overnight. It is a marathon built one step at a time.
โ
Burnout can become a catalyst for building more control, autonomy, and purpose.
โ
Healthcare professionals already have many of the skills needed to serve seniors well.
โ
Partnerships can help physicians move faster without trying to do everything alone.
โ
Residential assisted living is not just an investment strategy. It can also be a mission-driven way to improve care.

๐กWhat if one of the best ways to create cash flow in todayโs market was not buying more properties, but learning how to make one property perform significantly better?
In this episode, Iโm joined by Dr. Ryan Chaw, a pharmacist, real estate investor, and student housing expert who has built an impressive portfolio using the rent-by-the-room strategy.
Ryan graduated as a pharmacist in 2016 and began investing in real estate shortly after. Inspired by his grandfatherโs ability to create generational wealth through rental properties, Ryan started buying roughly one property per year and focused on student housing near college campuses.
By renting individual bedrooms instead of renting the entire house to one tenant, Ryan discovered that he could often double, triple, or even quadruple traditional rental income.
Today, Ryan owns 14 student rentals and teaches other investors how to create strong cash flow through high-quality, systematized rent-by-the-room housing.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ How Ryan got started in real estate after pharmacy school
โ๏ธ Why his grandfatherโs rental properties shaped his financial mindset
โ๏ธ How rent-by-the-room student housing can outperform traditional rentals
โ๏ธ What Ryan looks for when buying near college campuses
โ๏ธ How to evaluate bedroom count, bathrooms, egress, common areas, and layout
โ๏ธ How Ryan uses his PRIME method to screen tenants
โ๏ธ How house rules, town halls, and group leases help reduce tenant conflict
โ๏ธ How HELOCs helped Ryan recycle capital and scale his portfolio
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
Renting by the room can dramatically increase cash flow in the right market
โ
Student housing works best near strong schools with consistent demand
โ
One good property can make a meaningful difference when it is optimized well
โ
Systems matter more than doing everything yourself
โ
Tenant screening is one of the most important parts of this strategy
โ
You do not need to scale quickly to build real wealth over time
One of the most powerful parts of Ryanโs story is how simple and repeatable his approach has been. He started with one property, made mistakes, learned the model, refined his systems, and continued stacking one property at a time.

๐ก What if the goal was not to quit medicine? What if the real goal was simply to make medicine optional?
In this solo episode, Dr. Alex Schloe challenges the common financial freedom narrative that every physician should be working toward fully escaping clinical medicine.
For some physicians, leaving medicine may be the right path. But for many, the better goal may be to build enough financial margin that medicine becomes something they choose, not something they are financially trapped doing.
Because there is a major difference between saying, โI have to go to work tomorrow,โ and saying, โI get to practice medicine tomorrow.โ

โ๏ธ Why financial freedom is built in layers, not all at once
โ๏ธ How real estate, business, and investing can create optionality
โ๏ธ Why cash flow is not the ultimate goal โ freedom is
โ๏ธ How to calculate your โfreedom numberโ
โ๏ธ Why you must avoid building another prison while trying to escape medicine
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
You may not hate medicine. You may hate practicing medicine too much.
โ
The goal is not necessarily to stop working. The goal is to control your time.
โ
A few thousand dollars per month outside of medicine can meaningfully change your life.
โ
Real estate is not the destination. It is a vehicle for optionality.
โ
Freedom means being able to say yes or no based on your values, not financial fear.
ย If you are a physician pursuing financial freedom, this episode is a reminder that the point is not simply more properties, more cash flow, or more business income.ย

This week, we are bringing back a powerful replay ๐episode with Dr. Brittney Anderson.
๐ก What if the key to finding joy in medicine was not escaping healthcare altogether, but reclaiming your autonomy through private practice and entrepreneurship?
In this episode, Dr. Schloe sits down with Dr. Brittney Anderson, a board-certified family medicine physician, founder and CEO of Anderson Family Care, and host of the ๐ฃ๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ podcast.
After years in employed and academic medicine, Dr. Anderson made the bold leap to open her own private practice in 2022, launching with a full panel of patients right out of the gate.
They discuss her path from rural Alabama to Duke, a life-changing study abroad experience in Ghana, the lessons she learned from burnout in employed practice, and how building her own clinic brought autonomy, joy, and efficiency back into her career.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ How a transformative experience in Ghana shaped Dr. Andersonโs calling to medicine
โ๏ธ Why employed practice can fuel burnout and frustration
โ๏ธ How private practice can restore autonomy, joy, and flexibility
โ๏ธ What she focused on in the three months before launching her clinic
โ๏ธ Why marketing, credentialing, funding, and systems matter before opening
โ๏ธ How AI scribes, team huddles, and staff culture help her practice run efficiently
โ๏ธ Why physicians are uniquely equipped to become entrepreneurs
โ๏ธ How real estate can be both profitable and community-transforming
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
Physicians are capable of doing hard things, including building businesses.
โ
Private practice can help restore joy and fulfillment in medicine.
โ
Autonomy, efficiency, and culture are key to building a sustainable practice.
โ
Entrepreneurship can create opportunities beyond clinical medicine.
โ
Freedom often comes from ownership, not employment.
If you are a physician who has ever wondered whether private practice is still possible, this replay episode is a reminder that you can build a practice, serve your community, and create more freedom on your own terms.

๐ก What if financial freedom was not about quitting medicine, retiring early, or never working again?
What if it was about creating enough margin, flexibility, and resilience that medicine becomes something you choose โ not something you are financially trapped doing?
In this solo episode, Dr. Alex Schloe shares the real reason he believes physicians need income outside of medicine.
It is not because medicine is bad. It is not because every physician needs to quit clinical practice. And it is not because real estate creates a perfect, stress-free life.
The reason is simple: Additional income creates options, and options create freedom.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ Why a high physician income can still become a trap
โ๏ธ How lifestyle creep can create golden handcuffs
โ๏ธ Why financial freedom is about choices, not just retirement
โ๏ธ How income outside of medicine can create breathing room
โ๏ธ Why real estate is a tool, not the ultimate goal
โ๏ธ How to choose an investment strategy that fits your life
โ๏ธ Why every dollar of dependable outside income helps buy back your time
โ๏ธ How to take the next responsible step toward greater freedom
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
Medicine is an incredible calling, but it should not be your only source of security.
โ
A high income is powerful, but only if you use it to build future freedom.
โ
Financial freedom does not have to mean quitting your job.
โ
Freedom means work becomes a choice instead of a financial requirement.
โ
Real estate can create cash flow, equity, tax advantages, and long-term options.
โ
The right strategy depends on your time, money, experience, family, and goals.
โ
You do not need 1,000 properties. You need intentional progress toward autonomy and alignment.
One of the biggest traps for physicians is building a lifestyle that requires every dollar of the physician paycheck to continue indefinitely. That is when medicine stops feeling like a calling and starts feeling like a cage.
Real estate, entrepreneurship, and other income streams can help physicians create margin, reduce dependence on clinical income, and build lives with more flexibility.

๐ก What if burnout was not a sign that you were broken, but a signal that something needed to change?
In this episode, Iโm joined by Dr. Bertina Hooks, a board-certified internal medicine physician, healthcare executive, entrepreneur, founder of Pinnacle Business Academy, coach, consultant, and author.
After surviving a life-threatening medical crisis that led to a right below-the-knee amputation, Dr. Hooks was forced to reevaluate her identity, career, health, and priorities.
That experience became the catalyst for reinvention.
Today, she has built a portfolio career that includes clinical medicine, telemedicine, consulting, coaching, medical expert work, real estate, publishing, advocacy, and entrepreneurship.

โ๏ธ How Dr. Hooks first discovered her calling to medicine
โ๏ธ Why burnout often reveals a mismatch between your values and your energy
โ๏ธ How locums helped her gain more autonomy, flexibility, and negotiating power
โ๏ธ How a major medical crisis reshaped her career and identity
โ๏ธ Why physicians need to separate self-worth from job title
โ๏ธ How consulting, telemedicine, utilization management, expert work, and entrepreneurship can create more flexibility
โ๏ธ Why multiple streams of income can help physicians practice with more freedom

๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
Burnout is not a character flaw. It is often a signal that something needs to change.
โ
Your identity is bigger than your specialty, title, or employer.
โ
Your medical degree is not the ceiling. It is the foundation.
โ
You do not have to leave clinical medicine to redesign your career.
โ
Non-clinical work allows physicians to use their skills in a different way.
โ
Multiple income streams can create breathing room, flexibility, and autonomy.
โ
Change is not failure. Sometimes, it is evolution.
One of the most powerful parts of Dr. Hooksโ story is how quickly life can change. It could be burnout, illness, disability, a corporate reorganization, or becoming a caregiver for someone you love.
Dr. Hooks also shares the message behind her upcoming memoir, ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ผ๐บ, and why giving yourself permission to evolve may be one of the most important decisions you ever make.

๐กWhat if the first step was not building a massive portfolio, raising capital, or taking huge risks โbut simply buying one solid property, learning the numbers, and letting confidence compound?
In this episode, Iโm joined by Dr. Kathir Balakumaran, a practicing cardiologist in Cleveland, Ohio, who only caught the real estate investing bug in 2024.
In a relatively short period of time, Kathir has built an impressive portfolio of duplexes using the BRRRR strategy, converted a previous home into a rental, and begun investing passively in real estate syndications โ all while continuing to practice as a full-time cardiologist.
๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป:
โ๏ธ How Kathir first got exposed to real estate during residency
โ๏ธ How delayed gratification helped his family build financial momentum
โ๏ธ How the BRRRR strategy works and why it can help recycle capital
โ๏ธ Why partnerships can accelerate growth when each person brings different strengths
โ๏ธ Why tenant screening matters and what he learned from a difficult eviction
โ๏ธ How passive syndications can complement active investing
โ๏ธ Why the biggest win is often simply pulling the trigger and getting started
๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐:
โ
You do not need to have everything figured out before buying your first property
โ
Duplexes can offer strong cash flow and risk mitigation in the right market
โ
Conservative underwriting matters, especially for risk-averse investors
โ
You still need to do your own research, even when you outsource parts of the process
โ
Active investing can build skills, confidence, and momentum
โ
Passive investing can help put extra income to work without adding another job
One of the most powerful parts of Kathirโs story is how practical his approach has been. He started by learning, researching neighborhoods, understanding rent-to-price ratios, studying public records, building a team, finding partners, and buying duplexes that made sense. Then he repeated the process.
If you are a physician who wants to build wealth outside of medicine but feels overwhelmed by where to begin,
