Physicians and Properties

🎙️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲.

💡 What if real estate was not just an investment strategy… but a learnable skill that could help physicians create more freedom, flexibility, and long-term wealth?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Amy Couturier, a general pediatrician, entrepreneur, former direct primary care physician, and now real estate professional based in Traverse City, Michigan.

Amy’s journey started long before medicine. Growing up, she watched her immigrant parents build wealth through real estate, collect rent checks, work on properties, care for tenants, and model what it looks like to take risks, work hard, and build something meaningful for your family.

In this conversation, we talk about physician identity, entrepreneurship, the emotional difficulty of stepping outside the traditional medical path, using physician loans creatively, evaluating investment properties, and why physicians need trusted advocates when buying real estate.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
 ✔️ How Amy’s early exposure to rentals shaped her view of money, risk, and ownership
 ✔️ Why her parents’ immigrant story deeply influenced her work ethic and entrepreneurial mindset
 ✔️ How Teach For America helped shape her path into pediatrics
 ✔️ The challenges of running a solo DPC practice as a physician, wife, and mother
 ✔️ How physician loans can become a powerful real estate tool
 ✔️ What physicians should look for when evaluating short-term rental and investment properties
 ✔️ Why having a physician realtor can help protect doctors from being taken advantage of

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
 ✅ Real estate is a learnable skill, just like medicine
 ✅ You are not your profession, and your identity can be bigger than your job title
 ✅ Physicians do not have to stay trapped in one version of success
 ✅ Starting slowly can reduce risk and help you build confidence
 ✅ Physician loans can offer unique financing opportunities if you know where to look
 ✅ The right property should match your goals, risk tolerance, and desired lifestyle
 ✅ Great real estate decisions start with clarity, not just chasing deals
 ✅ A trusted realtor who understands physicians can be a major advantage

If you’ve ever wondered whether it is okay to love medicine but still want more freedom…

Or if you’ve ever thought about real estate but felt unsure where to start…

💡 What if buying an already profitable business could accelerate your path to financial freedom faster than starting from scratch?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by returning guest Dr. Chiagozie Fawole, pediatric anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, real estate investor, author of the STR Blueprint, and now an active voice in the world of business acquisition. This conversation picks up where our last episode left off, but this time we go deep into why buying businesses has become such an exciting long-term wealth-building strategy for physicians. 

Chiagozie shares how she first got introduced to business buying during the pandemic, why it took time to truly see herself as a buyer, and what changed when she started understanding the numbers. We dive into physician identity, evaluating opportunity, buying versus building, roll-up strategies, financing options, due diligence, and why physicians may have far more leverage in this space than they realize. 

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
 ✔️ Why buying a business can create significantly more cash flow than many traditional investments
 ✔️ The five criteria she uses to evaluate businesses worth buying
 ✔️ Why buying can often be less risky than building from scratch
 ✔️ How roll-ups and valuation multiples create massive upside in business acquisitions
 ✔️ What physicians need to understand about SDE, EBITDA, and business valuation
 ✔️ The many ways to finance a business, including SBA, seller financing, and physician practice loans
 ✔️ Why physicians should look in their own field first when exploring acquisitions

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
 ✅ Buying the right business can give you cash flow from day one
 ✅ A bigger business is often better than a tiny one because it can support an operator and true scalability
 ✅ Physicians may be uniquely positioned to buy and improve healthcare-related businesses
 ✅ Financing a business can be far more flexible than most people realize
 ✅ Great deals are made in due diligence, not just in the initial offer
 ✅ Clarity on your goals and buy box matters before you start chasing deals
 ✅ The right acquisition can create both freedom now and wealth later 

If you’ve ever wondered whether physicians can build wealth outside of medicine, but still are not sure what it looks like to buy a business the right way…

💡 What if the biggest thing holding physicians back is not a lack of intelligence or opportunity but a limiting belief that they are “just doctors”?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Steven Bishop, board-certified internist, former academic leader at VCU, founder of a direct primary care practice, interim CEO and CMO of Commonwealth Sterile Solutions, and an investor in both real estate and Bitcoin. This conversation felt especially full circle for me because Dr. Bishop was actually one of my clerkship directors back in medical school. 

Steven shares his journey from academic medicine to concierge medicine to launching a “practice without walls” direct primary care model built around house calls, family, faith, flexibility, and freedom. 

This conversation is about a lot more than career transitions. We talk about physician identity, entrepreneurship, direct primary care, investing, startup leadership, faith, family, mission work, and the courage it takes to stop settling for the default path and start building a life that is more aligned, intentional, and free. 

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
 ✔️ Why many physicians are far more capable of leading and building than they realize
 ✔️ How fear, debt, and limiting beliefs keep doctors stuck in careers that no longer fit
 ✔️ Dr. Bishop’s transition from academic medicine to concierge medicine to direct primary care
 ✔️ How he built a low-overhead, house call-based DPC practice designed around lifestyle and flexibility
 ✔️ Why investing early can create optionality and make career pivots less risky
 ✔️ What physicians can learn from startup leadership and building mission-driven companies
 ✔️ Why doctors should have a larger voice in shaping healthcare businesses and systems
 ✔️ How faith, family, and mission work have shaped Dr. Bishop’s view of success 

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
 ✅ You are not “just a doctor.” Physicians are capable of leading, building, and investing at a very high level
 ✅ Financial freedom is really about optionality and having more choices
 ✅ Investing early can create the breathing room needed to make aligned career changes
 ✅ Direct primary care can be structured around the lifestyle and family priorities you actually want
 ✅ Faith, service, and family can be central drivers in how you build your career
 ✅ Real freedom is built slowly through intentional decisions, not overnight success 

If you’ve ever felt like there has to be more than the traditional physician path…

but still are not sure what it looks like to build a life on your own terms…

💡 What if physician burnout is not just about long hours but about living out of alignment with the life you actually want?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Olga Deengar, board-certified hospitalist in the U.S. and Canada, certified life coach, founder of Coach Olga MD, creator of the DAMA Method, and host of the Coffee Play Date Podcast. Olga shares her journey from working 70-hour weeks as a full-time hospitalist to navigating a major identity shift when she became a full-time mom after moving to Florida. What followed was a powerful reframe around mindset, purpose, and building medicine on her own terms. 

This conversation is about a lot more than burnout. We dive into identity, vision, boundaries, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to stop living on autopilot and start building a life that feels more intentional, aligned, and free. Olga also shares how she built her coaching business, developed the DAMA framework, created alternative income streams, and began practicing medicine in a way that better fits the life she actually wants. 

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
 ✔️ Why burnout is often more about misalignment than just working too many hours
 ✔️ How Olga navigated the identity shift from full-time physician to full-time mom
 ✔️ The DAMA framework: Driven, Aligned, Building Momentum, and Taking Action
 ✔️ Why vision setting is essential if you want to practice medicine on your own terms
 ✔️ How to use “net time” and small habits to build momentum in a busy season
 ✔️ Why community, accountability, and mentorship can accelerate your growth
 ✔️ How Olga built the confidence to launch her coaching business and podcast
 ✔️ Why setting boundaries and reclaiming your time, energy, and confidence matters so much for women physicians 

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
 ✅ Burnout is often a signal that something in your life is out of alignment
 ✅ You do have a choice in how you practice medicine and build your life
 ✅ Clear vision plus small, consistent action creates real momentum
 ✅ The right community can dramatically accelerate courage and growth
 ✅ Building alternative income streams can create more flexibility and fulfillment
 ✅ Real freedom comes when your time reflects your values and priorities 

If you’ve ever felt stuck between medicine, family, identity, and the desire for something more…

but still are not sure what it looks like to build a life on your own terms…

💡 What if the reason so many physicians still feel financially behind is not because they do not make enough money… but because nobody ever taught them how to organize, protect, and direct their money toward the life they actually want?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Scott Jarred—founder and CEO of INVST. Scott left corporate America to build a different kind of wealth firm, one focused less on pushing products and more on helping people truly understand, grow, and protect their financial lives through what he calls a personal CFO approach. 

This conversation is about a lot more than investing. Scott shares his own story of growing up around financial instability, chasing money, reaching income success, and then realizing that money without purpose still feels empty. From there, we dive into the real physician dilemma: long training, delayed financial literacy, lifestyle creep, fear-based money decisions, and the struggle to build wealth while still trying to stay true to the work that matters most.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
 ✔️ Why so many physicians feel financially behind despite making a strong income
 ✔️ Why more money does not automatically create more freedom
 ✔️ Scott’s three-part framework: protect yourself, get organized, and pay yourself first
 ✔️ Why many traditional financial advisors miss the mark for physicians
 ✔️ What it means to take a personal CFO approach to your money
 ✔️ How to think like an owner instead of staying stuck in the system
 ✔️ Why your financial plan should be built around purpose, time, and the life you actually want
 ✔️ How better money decisions can create more freedom, generosity, and long-term fulfillment

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
 ✅ High income does not equal financial clarity
 ✅ Physicians often feel stuck because they start late and never get real financial education
 ✅ Protecting your earning ability, getting organized, and paying yourself first matter more than chasing the next shiny investment
 ✅ The right strategy is not just about building net worth — it is about building choice
 ✅ Real freedom comes when your money supports your purpose, relationships, and time
 ✅ Wealth becomes a lot more meaningful when it is built in alignment with the life you want to live

If you’ve ever felt like you are doing everything “right” on paper…

but still not building the life you actually want…

💡 What if the problem isn’t that physicians pay too much in taxes……but that most of us don’t understand the rules well enough to use real estate the way the wealthy do?

In this replay episode, I’m joined by Amanda Han—CPA, real estate investor, educator, and one of the clearest voices in the tax strategy world.

Amanda was one of the most popular guests we’ve had on the podcast, and for good reason.

This conversation is packed with practical, advanced insights for physicians who want to think more strategically about taxes, real estate, retirement accounts, and long-term wealth building.

We cover:
 ✅ bonus depreciation and cost seg strategy
 ✅ when a 1031 exchange actually makes sense
 ✅ self-directed IRA vs solo 401k
 ✅ UBIT / UDFI and the hidden tax issue many investors miss
 ✅ how passive losses really work for physicians
 ✅ when to use retirement money vs cash for deals

This is one of those episodes worth revisiting because the lessons are that valuable.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
 ✔️ Why bonus depreciation and cost segregation are powerful—but not always the right move
 ✔️ The biggest 1031 exchange mistakes physicians need to avoid
 ✔️ Why Amanda often prefers a solo 401k over a self-directed IRA when possible
 ✔️ The hidden UBIT / UDFI issue that can create taxes inside retirement-account investments
 ✔️ Why not all real estate investments get the same tax treatment
 ✔️ How passive losses can still create real tax value for physicians
 ✔️ When to use retirement account money vs non-retirement cash for different types of deals

If you’re a physician investor who wants to stop guessing and start making smarter tax decisions, this replay is for you.

💡 What if real freedom isn’t about making more money… but about building a life with enough margin, resilience, and alignment that when life changes fast, you don’t break?

In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing a personal Q1 2026 update—some of the unexpected challenges this quarter brought, what they taught me, and how they sharpened my perspective on health, family, business, and what freedom actually means. From a broken rib and a C6-C7 disc herniation to stepping away from direct primary care, this quarter reminded me in a very real way that life can change fast. But it also reminded me why I care so much about financial freedom and lifestyle design in the first place: not just for income, but for flexibility, presence, and resilience when life gets hard. 

I also share some exciting updates from The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind, our Tomball luxury memory care development, our Republic, Missouri senior living project, and the renewed push to finally finish my residential assisted living book. On the personal side, I talk about family, camping season, and one of the moments I’m most grateful for this year—my brother and I gifting our dad a 10-day retirement trip to Iceland. This episode is part quarterly update, part mindset reset, and part reminder that the goal is not just growth. The goal is alignment.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:

✔️ Why life can change fast—and why margin matters
 ✔️ What injury taught me about health, gratitude, and perspective
 ✔️ Why I stepped away from direct primary care to work PRN
 ✔️ The difference between more opportunity and more alignment
 ✔️ Updates on The RAL Room, our development projects, and the book I’m writing
 ✔️ Why true freedom is really about presence, flexibility, and living in alignment

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

✅ Health, energy, and strength are gifts—not guarantees
 ✅ Financial freedom matters because it gives you flexibility when life shifts
 ✅ More opportunity is not always better—sometimes the better move is simplification
 ✅ A lot of the biggest wins in business are built in the invisible season
 ✅ Freedom is not just about doing less work—it’s about being more aligned
 ✅ The best life you build is one where your calendar reflects your values

💡 What if the thing holding most physicians back from real estate isn’t money… but the belief that “we’re just doctors” and the fear of stepping into rooms where we’re not the expert?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. David Namazy—physician, medical director of a vascular center in Southern California, and real estate investor/operator with projects across Texas and Southern California.

David has gone from “first duplex to learn” → ADU development → capital raising → now leading strategic partners on a 52-unit ground-up multifamily project in San Diego.

And yes… the numbers are wild:
 ✅ $2.5M raised in ~3 weeks (right around Christmas)
✅ $3M raised in ~4 weeks to buy land
➡️ now moving into phase two to build the 52 units.

This conversation is a masterclass in the physician-to-operator evolution—mindset, leverage, relationships, and executing in the margins.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:

 ✔️ David’s origin story: why real estate became the “next mountain” after medicine
 ✔️ How his wife (also a physician + entrepreneur) pulled him into real estate through one podcast episode
 ✔️ Why investing in education/community is a mindset shift for physicians (asset vs liability)
✔️ The “duplex first” strategy—and why small deals build big investors
✔️ The real mindset shift physicians must make to succeed in entrepreneurship
✔️ How David pivoted from Texas rentals to building in Southern California
✔️ ADUs explained + what makes a great ADU property (parking, access, lot layout)
✔️ Real ADU numbers in coastal San Diego (and why it can create 10%+ cash-on-cash)
✔️ Why raising capital is scary… and why it’s also one of the biggest ways you can serve others
✔️ The truth about scaling: it’s the who, not the how (partners, operators, teams)

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
 ✅ Physicians underestimate themselves—if you survived training, you can build wealth in real estate.
 ✅ The first deal isn’t about perfection… it’s about taking the training wheels off.
 ✅ ADUs are one of the few ways to create meaningful cash flow in high-appreciation markets like SoCal.
 ✅ Capital raising becomes possible when you have trust, a strong team, and repeatable execution.
 ✅ Doctors don’t have to choose: real estate can make you a better physician, spouse, and parent.

💡 What if you could create real monthly cash flow in real estate… without tenants, toilets, and 2am phone calls?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Brent Bowers—Army veteran, real estate investor, entrepreneur, and land investing coach with The Land Sharks.

After spending years in the Army and being away from his family, Brent got serious about building income outside his W2. He had rentals… but they weren’t cash flowing. Then he found a niche most investors ignore:

vacant land.

And it completely changed his life.

Brent shares the exact moment his mindset shifted—when he bought land cheap, sold it with $500 down, got all his money back immediately, and then collected $400/month on a land contract.

He told his wife: “If we can do this 10 more times… we’re financially free.”

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
 ✔️ Why Brent chose land over rentals (and why his rentals felt like “forced savings accounts”)
 ✔️ How he found motivated sellers using tax-delinquent lists (even while working 13-hour Army days)
 ✔️ The first two deals that hooked him—buying land for a few hundred bucks and turning it into thousands
 ✔️ How seller financing on land creates “rent-like” income with nothing breaking
 ✔️ The paradigm shift: using $500 down payments to get all capital back fast
 ✔️ How Brent’s process evolved: focusing on markets where land is actually selling (instead of random counties)
 ✔️ How he values land using comps: by acre or price-per-square-foot + land-specialist agents
 ✔️ Bread-and-butter land numbers: buying around $55K–$105K and selling $150K–$250K
 ✔️ Due diligence essentials: access, utilities, buildability, zoning, drainage, and title insurance
 ✔️ How Brent now adds a new “income engine”: placing manufactured homes on land to expand the buyer pool
 ✔️ Why manufactured homes unlock financing options (FHA/VA/USDA/non-QM) and a huge pool of buyers
 ✔️ How he’s shifting toward keeping some homes as brand-new rentals to reduce tax burden (depreciation + cost seg)
 ✔️ The biggest myth to kill: “You can’t make money with vacant land”

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
 ✅ Land can create cash flow fast—without the headaches of traditional rentals.
 ✅ Seller financing is the “gravy train”: get capital back quickly, then collect monthly payments like rent.
 ✅ You don’t need tons of time—Brent did deals while working long Army hours.
 ✅ Find markets where land is actually selling, then work backwards from comps.
 ✅ The biggest wins often come from solving simple problems for motivated sellers.
 ✅ Manufactured homes on land can dramatically expand your buyer pool and increase profits.
 ✅ If you want wealth the right way: use active income to buy tax-advantaged assets (depreciation + cost seg).
