In this episode, we talk to Alka Kumar about how concerns over burnout as a doctor led her to pursue additional streams of passive income, how she scaled after buying that first single-family rental, how she purchased a small mobile home park using her self-directed retirement account, and why she is focused on investing passively in real estate syndications.
Alka Kumar of YourWealthMD.com came to the United States from India with $40 in her pocket. Fast forward to today and she has been making a comfortable living working as a physician for the last 30 plus years. A few years ago, she realized that she was overworked and heading towards burnout. This forced her to look for passive and semi-passive sources of income which led her to real estate.
