Monthly Roundup: July 2020

Summary: Each month, we round up some recommended resources from physician finance bloggers, podcasters, and educators from around the web. By sharing these with our readers, we hope that you will be able to expand your knowledge and learn valuable insights from others within the community. After all, financial freedom through real estate investing is not an anomaly. There are countless others from a variety of backgrounds who have been successful, which means that you can be, too!

 

The Prudent Plastic Surgeon

Jordan Frey, the Prudent Plastic Surgeon himself, explains in his bio that he used to avoid telling people he was a plastic surgeon because of the extravagant image most people have of his profession. In reality, he was nowhere near that. But as he continued his medical journey, he realized that his vision of success had nothing to do with being filthy rich. Thus began his journey to financial stability and freedom… his way, not the way he’d come to expect in his field!

Now, he chronicles his journey on The Prudent Plastic Surgeon blog. He discusses topics such as avoiding financial mistakes as a physician, investing, and financial planning. We love his perspective on finances and building wealth, and we’re excited to share that he’s also a real estate investor! Be on the lookout for an Investor Spotlight featuring him. We can’t wait to hear more about his real estate investing journey!

 

The Real Estate CPA 

When it comes to real estate investing, you not only have to understand the market, you also have to understand the numbers. That’s where The Real Estate CPA podcast comes in. Each week, hosts Brandon Hall and Thomas Castelli bring on a guest to tackle topics such as tax savings and accounting. The goal is to give you the tools you need to increase profitability. This is a great resource for new and seasoned investors alike!

Recently, we had the honor of being guests on the show. In the episode, we talked about the “how” of achieving financial freedom through real estate investing. We also explored the ins and outs of real estate professional status. If you’ve listened to it already, then rest assured that there are plenty of other great episodes to explore that will give you valuable insights!


One Big Happy Life

One Big Happy Life is a husband and wife team who use their combined expertise to help educate others about building wealth, finding balance, and living happily. You may know them from their successful YouTube channel, where they vlog about finance, home, and lifestyle. We love their family-centered approach to finances and to life!

They have videos on a variety of topics, but we really love this one about how to start investing in real estate with no money. Most people, whether they are physicians or professionals, think they have to have a ton of money to start out in real estate. But as we’ve discussed before on the blog, that’s not really true! And as you can see, we’re not the only ones who think so!

 

Real Estate Investor Goddesses

Real Estate Investor Goddesses, hosted by Monick Halm, is a podcast and blog dedicated to helping women create passive income streams through real estate, achieve their financial goals, and make an impact. Additionally, she also has an awesome book! Each week, Monick interviews a trailblazing woman who’s making big strides in the real estate investing space.

Not too long ago, Letizia had the honor of being a guest on the podcast! She and Monick discussed what makes real estate investing a team sport. Then Leti shared how to build a fantastic real estate investing team that will help you reach your goals and succeed!


Wealthy Doc

Wealthy Doc is the fantastic success story of a physician who achieved financial freedom from the ground up. With over 30 years of investing experience, Wealthy Doc has a “wealth” of information to impart to fellow physicians on how to become financially independent. This just goes to show that anyone can do it, no matter your circumstances!

Hi, we’re Kenji and Leti

we provide coaching and mentorship for doctors and high-income earners

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

But in reality? Despite having worked for several years, we had very little savings. Despite our high income, we had very little freedom in terms of time or money.

One thing was clear: we had to do something.
