💡 What if residential assisted living was not just an investment opportunity… but an extension of the work physicians are already doing?

In today’s solo episode, Dr. Alex Schloe breaks down why physicians may be one of the best-positioned groups in America to help solve the growing senior housing crisis.

After a powerful clinic visit with an 84-year-old patient who had fallen twice and was afraid to tell her family, Alex reflects on what physicians see every week: seniors quietly losing independence, families making care decisions in crisis, and a system that is not keeping up with demand.

With 77 million baby boomers aging into a senior care system that was never built to handle them, residential assisted living offers a powerful opportunity to combine real esta...

💡 What if the fastest way to build real estate confidence was not reading another 10 books… but finally taking action?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Debasmita Das and Naren Roy, the husband-and-wife team behind Boston Rise Capital.

Deb is a double board-certified pathologist, fellowship trained at Harvard, who completed medical training in India before repeating residency and fellowship in the United States. Naren is a technologist, engineer, and former product leader who spent years building software products across startups and major technology companies.

Together, they started with short-term rentals, quickly realized the power of real estate, and scaled into multifamily syndications — growing to more than 160 units in roughly 18 months.

In this conversation, we talk about fear, physician perfec...

💡 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...

💡 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 b...

💡 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 l...

Welcome back to another episode of the Physicians and Properties Podcast! 🎙️ Today, Dr. Alex Schloe dives into an incredible conversation with Dr. Craig Moffett, a family medicine physician from rural Mississippi who’s making waves in both healthcare and real estate.

Dr. Moffett’s career is nothing short of inspiring—he balances his work in the clinic, hospital, ER, and long-term care facilities while also serving as the director for three nursing homes. But that’s not all—Dr. Moffett has built an impressive portfolio of 11 properties over the past six years, including a residential assisted living (R...

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, boundarie...

💡 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 st...

💡 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.

💡 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 h...

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 developmentcapital raising → now leading strategic partners on a 52-unit ground-up multifamily project in San Diego.

💡 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...

💡 What if you could generate real, meaningful cash flow… while also solving one of the biggest crises coming in America—senior housing?

In today’s episode, I’m the guest—and we’re talking about Residential Assisted Living (RAL): an asset class most medical professionals understand from the care side… but have no idea how powerful it can be from the investing side.

We break down what RAL actually is, why it’s different than “big-box” assisted living, and the 4 ways you can invest—from totally passive to owning the business and real estate.

If you’ve ever walked into a facility and thought, “I would never want my parents here,” this conversation will hit home.

And if you’re looking for cash-flowing real estate that actually...

Rod shares his incredible journey from immigrant beginnings and financial hardship… to massive real estate success… to losing $50 million in the 2008 crash… and rebuilding it all.

💡 What if one unfair moment in medicine could threaten everything you’ve built… and the real solution isn’t “more shifts”—but building income streams no one can take away?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Katz—an OBGYN turned real estate investor—who built a 40-unit short-term rental portfolio in ~3 years through a mix of rental arbitrage, co-hosting, and ownership (all while raising 4 kids with her husband, Jordan).

Jessica shares her raw story of how a bad outcome + politics inside medicine nearly derailed her career… and how that pain became fuel to build a business that created stability, options, and peace.

Then we go tactical: how to start STRs without a massive down payment, how to analyze deals like a pro, what...

💡 What if your biggest asset isn’t your portfolio… but your ability to earn as a physician—and one injury or illness could wipe out your financial freedom plan overnight?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Aaron Brooker from LeverageRx—world traveler, former middle school educator, and dad of three—who now helps physicians protect their income with the right disability insurance.

We break down what “true own-occupation” actually means, why employer coverage is rarely enough, and the most common traps physicians fall into (usually because no one ever taught us this stuff in training). Aaron shares real-world examples—including a surgeon who injured his hand—and explains why disability insurance isn’t just for proceduralists… it matters for family medicine, psych, and everyone in betw...

💡 What if the biggest “wealth skill” physicians never get taught isn’t investing… but negotiation, leadership, and thinking like a CEO—so you can practice medicine with autonomy, purpose, and peace?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Amy Vertrees—a board-certified general surgeon, Army veteran (17 years, 3 deployments), former Lieutenant Colonel, private practice surgeon, author, and founder of the Boss Business of Surgery series.

Amy shares what it’s really like doing surgery downrange with limited resources (no CT, no laparoscopy, no robot), the leadership lessons the military forces you to learn fast, and the powerful mindset shift physicians need after training: stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like the CEO of your career.

💡 What if the “best” way to start investing in real estate isn’t buying a rental… but becoming a passive partner first—so you can learn the game, reduce risk, and still build real wealth?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Yasser Rodriguez—a Harvard-trained cardiac electrophysiologist and founder of Cardia Real Estate Investments, where he helps physicians build passive, tax-efficient wealth through commercial real estate.

Yasser shares his story of being $386,000 in student loan debt, paying it off in ~25 months, and realizing that even a strong W-2 isn’t enough if you want true agency over your time.
