I am a physician, still working full time but with a serious plan on growing and diversifying my real estate portfolio to eventually have more freedom in my medical profession.

She is a corporate lawyer and I am a physician and we realize that we want to be in charge of our own income stream and not at the whim of those above us.

“The husband worked full-time as an emergency physician, while his wife divides her time between caring for their children and managing their rental properties.

Being young and barely going to the doctor i have accumulated a few thousand in an HSA that i use every once in a while to buy new prescription glasses or contacts.

I am currently a resident physician making 56k, 1.5 years from finishing residency.

It's rented to top-notch tenants; an MD resident, a doctoral student, and a physician's assistant--all of whom are the best tenants imaginable.It all boils down to: take the house that nobody wants (but which is in the best neighborhood in town), and turn it into the house that everyone wants.Of course, the downside of this approach is that there's a lot that can go wrong when changing the floorplan/functionality of a property...tearing down walls often isn't as simple as HGTV would have us believe.

One thing to keep in mind is that I'm a Physician Assistant student and work and do not have the time or desire to manage a rehab right now.

.- Hedge against the ever worsening economic and administrative conditions impacting physicians practicing in the U.S. - Be a role model to my children of financial diversity/independence, thoughtful risk taking, willingness to fail, learn, and fail again, growth mindset, and entrepreneurship.

They will likely list all of their expenses (ie: prescription drugs, phone bills, etc), and also inform you they are on a fixed income-- when you tell them it's going up.   

By PA do you mean Physicians Assistant?
