“I don’t have time.”
It’s the number one objection we hear from doctors considering real estate investing. And honestly, it’s a question we asked ourselves back in 2015 when we were both working 80+ hours a week as hospitalists, Kenji had a startup, and I was picking up OB shifts on the side.
So we get it. Your schedule is packed. Your responsibilities are real. The idea of adding one more thing feels impossible.
But here’s what we’ve learned after building a portfolio of over 175 doors.
Real estate is an asset. Once you own a good asset, it can make money without requiring your constant presence. That’s a hard shift for physicians because we’ve been trained that income follows effort and time. Assets follow a different rulebook.
The work is also episodic. There’s a focused burst of effort up front during the offer, due diligence, financing, and getting the property running. After that, if you are not self-managing, the workload can drop to quick check-ins, decision points, and occasional problem-solving when something pops up.
You also get to choose how much you touch it.
Property manager.
Co-host.
Contractors.
CPA.
The right “who” is what keeps this from becoming a second job.
If this matters to you, the goal is not to find more time. The goal is to build a setup that respects your life and still moves you toward freedom.
