Ready to merge the worlds of surgery, tech, and community? Imagine having all the surgical resources, colleagues, and expertise right at your fingertips, 24/7, no matter where you are in the world. Say hello to Dr. Mark Soliman and the SurgeOn app! In this episode, we dive deep with Dr. Mark Soliman, the mastermind behind the SurgeOn, the LinkedIn for the surgical community. Dr. Soliman, Chief of Colorectal Surgery and Program Medical Director for the AdventHealth Digestive Health Institute, started off as a surgeon who had a natural aversion to business. But as he got deeper into his career, he realized the importance of taking control of the finance and strategy to execute his vision. He was hungry for a platform where surgeons could talk, learn, and collaborate without any commercial bias. So he founded SurgeOn, a unique digital ecosystem solely dedicated to the surgical community. His venture has three main verticals for revenue: educational grants that fund webinars, a robust platform for hosting surgical meetings, and subscriptions to industry partners who get read-only access to the platform. What sets SurgeOn apart is its surgeon-centric approach—no selling data, no ads, just pure educational and collaborative space. Dr. Soliman's aim? To make SurgeOn the go-to international hub for all things surgical, offering a safe and secure space for surgeons to collaborate, share, and grow. In this podcast episode, we explore his unlikely journey from being averse to business to becoming a disruptive entrepreneur in the medical field. How does the SurgeOn app monetize? What's the vision for the next five years? And why is a growth mindset crucial for not just surgeons but everyone? Dr. Soliman drops knowledge bombs on all things entrepreneurial and surgical, plus shares exclusive insights into the future of this groundbreaking platform. This is your chance to peek behind the surgical mask and into the world of medical tech innovation. __________________________________________________________ Have someone who you think should be featured in a future episode?

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Doctors Building Wealth podcast! Join Leti and Kenji as they share their journey from Lake Como in Italy, where they discuss the topic of going international and buying an Italian villa. Their goal has always been to create a life where they could own an Italian villa to use as a gathering place for friends and family, and this dream is now becoming a reality. They explore the various reasons why some investors choose to buy rental properties in foreign countries, such as obtaining a golden visa for citizenship or residency, leveraging geographic arbitrage in affordable markets, benefiting from currency arbitrage, and diversifying their real estate portfolios across different countries. Leti shares her experience of overcoming initial challenges in securing a loan for the Italian property and explains a unique syndication structure they devised to bring their dream closer to reality. This innovative structure allows passive investors to invest in the property and receive a return or stay in the villa for a certain period each year, while Leti and Kenji still have ample time to rent out the property as a short-term rental and make it a profitable venture. They also highlight the potential tax benefits, such as accelerated depreciation, for foreign properties. The episode concludes with an inspiring message for real estate investors to explore various possibilities in international property investments and make their dreams of owning properties in different countries a reality. Tune in to discover how you can embrace international real estate investments and create a life of travel and multiple rental properties around the world. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Leti and Kenji's experience and be inspired to take your real estate investment journey to the next level! __________________________________________________________ Have someone who you think should be featured in a future episode?

In this week's podcast, we interview Dr. Gregory Hanson. He is a radiologist by training who founded flipMD, a physician-focused freelancing platform. What is truly remarkable about his story is that he started this company with his wife during residency and sold it to GoodRx in a little less than two years! Not only that, he did this with very little venture funding and he also managed the entire M&A (mergers and acquisitions) process himself without a broker. In this episode, we also delve briefly into his real estate journey. Like so many others in our community, he invested in short-term rentals, not only for the cashflow but also for the tax advantages. __________________________________________________________ Have someone who you think should be featured in a future episode?

This week's guest is Dr. Latifat Akintade.  She is a practicing Gastroenterologist with an emphasis in Inflammatory bowel diseases. Latifat is also the founder of MoneyFitMD, a money coaching platform for women physicians and author of Done with Broke.  Latifat knew nothing about money, investment or real estate until about 5 years ago when she realized that she was on the fast track to burn out.  In the last 5 years, she and her husband have achieved financial independence through diversifying their sources of incomes. They started actively investing in 2019 after completing the Zero to Freedom course with Leti and Kenji. They currently own 11 doors in California and Washington state. With the right tools, she believes every woman physician can create their own rich life. Real estate can be a key part of that vehicle. She also believes that money is a tool for change and critical in our conversation of helping disempowered women physicians become empowered money badasses. When physicians are financially independent, they will practice medicine because they want to and not because they have to. When she is not coaching physicians or treating GI illnesses, she enjoys traveling with her family, spending time in her hammock, cooking and kicking it with her girlfriends.   Her mantras in life are “Everything is possible. You simply have to choose” and “heaven is closer by the ocean”. Latifat will be speaking at our FREE virtual summit on August 1st.  Register now at semiretiredmd.com/ffvs23 to grab your FREE ticket! __________________________________________________________ Have someone who you think should be featured in a future episode?

Would you consider yourself a planner? Many, like Kenji, don't see themselves as planners. In fact, research has shown that people with Kenji's personality type actually struggle with planning. The reason is, his personality is a go, go, go-type personality. He's constantly getting sh*t done, so stopping to plan feels like waste of time. However, over the last 3-6 months, this has all changed. Now, instead of labeling himself "I'm not a planner," he now loves to plan and can't imagine beginning his day without a plan. Why the dramatic shift? He reached a threshold. A threshold is the point at which you get fed up with your current situation and you decide to make a change. So how did he make the shift? First thing is, he changed his identity. See, if you label yourself "I'm not a planner," then you will do whatever it takes to maintain that identity. Once you change your identity to "I'm a planner," things start to change. All of a sudden, you no longer fiercely hold onto the old identity. Second, he made time for it each day. It is actually built into his daily schedule. Third, he started to see positive results from planning, which created a positive reinforcement loop. See, when you plan effectively, you get better results. This is one of the keys to planning. It's not about getting more sh*t done. It's about focusing on the things you value the most. For example, you might value having your kids see you as a fun and loving dad. If that's the outcome you're seeking, then you have to plan time to create those fun and loving moments with your kids. This gives each to-do on your list more meaning. It's not something you check off. Instead, each to-do is important and meaningful to you, so when you accomplish it, you are achieving the results you're seeking. Now this episode isn't just about Kenji's dramatic shift, Leti also made significant changes to how she plans. She now organizes her planning around the different roles she plays in life for example: mother, wife, CEO, and community. So if you want better results in your life, consider planning for success!

Have you ever heard yourself say, "I just don't have enough time to do [fill in the blank]. This is one of the most common excuses we hear from prospective students of our Zero to Freedom and Accelerating Wealth courses. They say, for example, "it's not a good time, maybe in 6 months." We understand that life happens and some people legitimately have more important things going on in their lives that they have to prioritize. But our guess is that it's the minority. Most people thinking about getting into real estate investing, DO have the time. Where does this come from? Oftentimes, it's rooted in fear. It's an excuse that they make up in their minds to help them cope with the fact that they aren't taking action. The reality is, they just aren't making it a priority. Ultimately, we all have the time to handle whatever we make a priority. If a loved one fell ill, you'd find the time to take care of them because their well-being is a priority to you. So, is becoming financially independent a priority for you? Have someone who you think should be featured in a future episode? Comment and let us know on our socials!

We are excited to share an exclusive interview with J Scott from our 2022 Fast FIRE to Freedom Summit, which was held in August 2022. J has a wealth of real estate experience and is the author of several books, including Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing and The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs. J and his wife started investing in 2008 and flipped over 400 homes between 2008 and 2016. After years of house flipping, he transitioned to investing in large multifamily properties. This move was prompted by his study of economic cycles. He realized that flipping houses or "transactional real estate" as he called it, wasn't a good investment during a downturn. On the other hand, multifamily investing, more specifically, cashflowing multifamily properties is what he found to be a great asset class to be in during a downturn. This interview is packed with learning pearls and lessons. One of the biggest lessons he learned was not paying attention to taxes early on in his career. One of the benefits for new investors is that you can learn from other people's mistakes! The lesson here is, lower your tax burden as soon as possible so you can grow your money faster with compounding. As you know, here at Semi-Retired MD, we focus a lot on helping doctors and high-income professionals lower their taxes with cashflowing rentals. If you want to learn more, here are two strategies you can use: Real Estate Professional Status and Short-Term Rental Tax Loophole.

Do you feel the fear in the streets? Whether or not we are in a recession (some say we are, some say we aren't), there's no question that the current environment (inflation, rising mortgage rates) has struck fear in the hearts of many real estate investors. So what are we doing? We're going to continue doing what we've always done. We're going to continue to buy great deals. As Warren Buffett said, "be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” So this is the time to push through the fear, have courage and not just survive, but thrive! In this episode, we're going to share 10 tips for investing during a recession. This episode is based on Kenji's decades of real estate investing and investing through three downturns. Here are the links to our cash-on-cash (COC) calculators that we mention during this episode: Long-term rental COC calculator: https://semiretiredmd.com/coc Short-term rental COC calculator: https://semiretiredmd.com/strcalculator Have someone who you think should be featured in a future episode?
