Several years ago, we were newlyweds working as full-time hospitalists. On paper, it looked like we had everything: the well-paying careers, the happy marriage, the luxurious rental home, the cars, etc.

But in reality? After years of hard work, we had little to show for it. Even with our high incomes, we had very little freedom in terms of time or money. We were working 80+ hours one week on, one week off, yet we weren’t making financial progress, and we barely saw each other.

We thought “is this it?” We had worked our whole lives to get where we were, to become doctors, but we weren’t living the life we truly wanted.

We decided to take back our freedom. To live life on our terms. But with a twist: we weren’t going to sacrifice our income to do it.

WE REALIZED OUR HOSPITALIST POSITIONS

WOULD NEVER ALLOW US TO ACHIEVE OUR DREAMS WHILE WE WERE STILL YOUNG.

So we looked to those other tried-and-true financial strategies for achieving FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early). You know,

Saving money aggressively
Working even more shifts
Pouring money into stock market accounts

Those strategies would get us to financial freedom... in 20+ years.

And we just didn’t want to wait that long.

That’s when we discovered the path that would get us to financial freedom in less than five years:

investing in cashflowing rentals.

We started by buying small multi-family properties with “hidden value” at the right price and then made them cashflow significant amounts each month while sheltering our income from taxes. Each year we took all the income from our rentals, any savings we had, and the tax refund check we received from the IRS and re-invested it into buying more properties.

The Path That Led us to Where we are Today

The journey behind Semi-Retired MD

OUR BONA FIDES

Leti is a board-certified family medicine physician.

She did her undergraduate degree at Hamilton College and completed a graduate degree in anthropology at George Washington University. After finishing medical school at University of Vermont, Leti went to residency at Swedish Family Medicine Residency, followed by a hospitalist fellowship.

She worked as a hospitalist from 2011 to late 2020, employed at Good Samaritan Hospital, Queen’s Medical Center, and Swedish Medical Center. She also started a healthcare documentation company with Kenji and served as Chief Medical Officer from 2015-2016.

She currently splits time between running Semi-Retired MD, real estate investing, traveling and raising their children.

In her free time, Leti cooks and bakes, meditates, fishes and hikes.

In addition to the work she does helping doctors and high-income earners, Leti’s passion lies in empowering women leaders. She loves supporting women CEOs, as they run their real estate businesses and build other businesses of their own.

Kenji is a board-certified internal medicine physician.

He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania and medical school at Johns Hopkins. After medical school, his career path veered off the traditional path as he (in order): started a nutraceutical company, completed an internship at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle, worked as a management consultant for McKinsey & Company, returned to UW to repeat his internship (yes, two internships) and completed a full residency.

After residency, Kenji went to work as a hospitalist at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle where he worked for 12 years.

During his time at Swedish, Kenji started two companies and successfully exited both of them.

Kenji currently runs Leti and Kenji’s mutual real estate holdings of long-term, short-term and commercial properties spanning multiple states. He is a syndication partner on over 900 units. In addition, he continues to meet criteria for real estate professional status each year.

Kenji currently works on various passion projects in his free time including hiking, competing in Spartan races, becoming a home sushi chef, and raising three small children and one college-aged daughter.

FACT: INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE

CAN BRING IN RETURNS OF 25% OR MORE PER YEAR...

…through a combination of tax-free cashflow, debt pay down by your renters, market, immediate, and forced appreciation, and insane (but completely legal) tax benefits you get when you become a real estate professional (REPS) or access the short-term rental tax loophole.
