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!

In this episode we talk about the reasons we decided to embark on this journey. We also share some of the challenges of becoming digital nomads and how we are planning to address those challenges. Finally we share some strategies for how you too can make this a reality for you and your family.

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.

What makes a short-term rental stay a top-notch experience? Anyone who has stayed in a short-term rental will tell you that it all comes down to hospitality. As short-term rental owners, it makes all the difference if we anticipate the needs of our guests and create a memorable experience that guests will want to return to time and time again.
To get a fresh perspective on short-term rental hospitality and service, we interviewed Wil Slickers for this week’s Rich Doc Poor Doc podcast. Wil aims to always exceed expectations, and he gives us some tips this week on ways to do that.
He also introduces the idea of creating a destination for your short-term rentals instead of buying an over-priced property in an established destination. In other words, go where nobody is going now and find ways to make the are the place to be!

How many of you have heard someone say: "There are no good deals out there."
or "You can't find good cashflowing deals in this market."

If this has been your experience of the current market, then this episode is for you! In this episode, Leti and Kenji give you six different tips for competing in a hot market.
They have used these tips themselves to secure great deals and these are the tips they teach their students in their highly popular real estate course for doctors and high income professionals: Zero to Freedom Through Cashflowing Rentals.

Our students have a leg up on where we were when we first started out in our real estate investing journey in so many ways!
As a dual physician couple, it took Kenji and I over 5 years to learn on the go as we invested and built up our real estate portfolio. A lot of it was trial and error, and tons of valuable lessons!
Our accrued knowledge gives you an incredible advantage, and means that you can get a head start on your own real estate investments!
In this week's podcast episode, we discuss the five reasons why we believe that our students will be more successful than us.
Mindset
End-to-end strategy through our Zero to Freedom Course
Our agent network
Our vendor network
Community support, including our Team Investing Groups
Tune into this episode to learn all the reasons why you will be so successful in your own real estate investing journey. So much more successful than us!
