When I was a kid, I was asking a relative of mine who is a doctor, how much money he made or had in the bank.

(For reference I’m a 6’8” Army vet who made it through the doctor process)

I might be wrong and I'm not a doctor but I have family living there and they are not that worried.

Joint Ventures with Sellers (e.g. minor rehabs, you do the work, place a note and a mortgage, get a JV fee)Joint Ventures With Buyers (eg shared appreciation schemes)Joint Ventures with Money and Credit Partners (getting doctors to buy and pay for rehab, splitting profits)The creative minds are opening!!

I worked under a Doctor who was an apartment investor for a couple years.

There are no real estate clubs or groups around here.I am a nurse practitioner so I work with a lot of doctors but how do you approach someone and say "Hey do you have money-do you want to invest?"

Nobody says where do I find a free plumber, a free kid to mow my lawn, a free doctor you don't even let people refill your glass at the dinner table without leaving a tip.

Doctors and lawyers find themselves looking to "invest" for the long term in Real Estate, but, they cannot manage or repair or even take care of the bookkeeping and taxes.

They're the same reasons that doctors and lawyers or any professional practitioner, for that matter, study, get qualified, and then get a license to practice their specialty.Witness the on-going success of the Deeper Pockets website, in helping newbies get started and experienced investors get connected.
