💡 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. We go deep into why physicians get stuck (fear + lack of financial education), how to break through analysis paralysis, and why commercial real estate syndications can be one of the most powerful wealth vehicles when you focus on the operator, the underwriting, and the downside protection.

This episode is a blueprint for physicians who want financial freedom—not to quit medicine… but to practice it because they WANT to.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
✔️ Why physicians often get shamed for investing—and how to tune out the noise
✔️ How Yasser paid off $386K of student loans fast (and why “raw horsepower” + strategy matters)
✔️ The real reason W-2 income is a trap at high tax brackets—and how real estate flips the tax equation
✔️ First steps for new physician investors: education → community → first LP deal
✔️ Why becoming a passive investor (LP) can be the best “training wheels” in real estate
✔️ How to avoid shiny object syndrome: sample asset classes first, then pick your lane
✔️ Commercial real estate basics: how value is created through NOI + cap rates (not comps)
✔️ Depreciation + cost segregation: why “paper losses” can supercharge passive investing
✔️ The importance of conservative underwriting + sensitivity analysis (“punch in the face” planning)
✔️ Med tech investing: what to look for (track record, FDA experience, execution, team) and why returns can be asymmetric

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
✅ Your financial education is your responsibility—this stuff is easier than boards, but you must start.
✅ You don’t need to pick the “perfect” asset class on day one—take a sample, then commit.
✅ Passive investing isn’t “lazy”—it can be the smartest way to learn and build wealth while staying focused on your career.
✅ The deal should survive rough seas: conservative assumptions + downside planning matters more than hype.
✅ Your WHY is the fuel—agency, family time, and freedom are the real reasons we do this.
✅ There’s something for everyone: multifamily, assisted living, STRs, RV parks, med tech—pick the lane that fits your goals.

🎙️ Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with host, Dr. Alex Schloe.

💡 What if the fastest way to build real wealth isn’t finding the perfect deal… but getting in the right rooms with the right people and letting relationships compress your timeline?

In this episode, Alex sits down with return guest Dr. Kyle Stephenson—orthopedic surgeon, investor, community builder, and founder of the Legacy Rx Conference and the Doctors Investor Club. Kyle shares what he’s learned over the past year of building events, growing physician investor networks, navigating wins and painful lessons, and why he’s shifted from chasing “home runs” to stacking consistent singles with high-integrity partners.

This conversation is a blueprint for physician investors who want to build wealth with faith, family, and freedom at the center—and avoid the mistakes that cost real money (and stress) along the way.

🔥 What you’ll learn:

• Legacy Rx behind the scenes: What Kyle learned from hosting his first real estate conference—and why execution is harder than the vision
• The “right rooms” principle: Why most people say they want growth… but don’t take action to show up
• Doctors Investor Club explained: How Kyle partnered with the Family Office Club to give physicians access to elite investor rooms
• Networking at the next level: Rubbing elbows with pro athletes, family offices, and high-level operators—and why that matters
• Hard lessons from bad deals: Ponzi schemes, underperforming assets, and what Kyle now does differently to protect capital
• Walk every property: Why Kyle refuses to invest (or bring investors) into deals he hasn’t personally visited
• Sponsor alignment > IRR: Why faith, integrity, and family values matter more than projected returns
• Velocity of money: Using tools like whole life cash value + borrowing + cash-flowing assets to make one dollar work twice
• Macro matters: Why young physicians must understand inflation, currency debasement, and why “saving cash” quietly loses

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Your network is your net worth. The right rooms accelerate belief, confidence, and opportunity.
• Most people don’t have an information problem—they have an action problem. Showing up is the real separator.
• If the deal feels too good to be true… it probably is. Trust your instincts and verify everything.
• Bet on the operator first. The sponsor is the jockey—don’t ignore character and alignment.
• Integrity is expensive in the short-term—but priceless long-term. Your reputation is an asset.
• Stop letting money sit idle. Inflation is real, and cash is quietly losing value every year.
• Freedom is the goal. Build wealth so you can practice medicine because

🎙️ Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with host, Dr. Alex Schloe.

💡 What if the fastest way to financial freedom isn’t “starting small”… but taking bold action on a deal so good you figure out the money later?

In this episode, Alex sits down with Dr. Erin Hudson (Doctor of Chiropractic)—a physician-turned-investor and serial entrepreneur who went from 0 doors to 26 doors in 24 months, completed 231+ buy/sell transactions, and eventually scaled into multifamily ownership with 2,600+ units.

Erin breaks down how she bought six rentals at once in Indianapolis from Southern California (without knowing exactly where all the capital would come from), how she used relationships, negotiation, double closes, and scarcity to scale, and why integrity matters most when real estate punches you in the mouth.

This is a masterclass in momentum, mindset, and building a legacy that outlives you.

🔥 What you’ll learn:

• 0 → 6 in one move: Why Erin bought all six rentals (not one) when the barrier to entry was low—and committed before she felt “ready”
• Finding the money later (responsibly): How she pulled together capital through creative options (including lending + leverage) because the deal was too strong to ignore
• Investing outside your backyard: Why she chose landlord-friendly markets with lower barriers to entry instead of overpriced coastal real estate
• The “law of the first deal”: Why the first leap is the hardest—and how momentum follows action
• Rinse-and-repeat deal stacking: How she structured deals to sell two and keep one “for free,” then repeated the process
• Integrity under pressure: The story of the fraudulent title company, the financial loss, and the decision to still do right by her investors
• Single-family → multifamily pivot: The moment she realized she’d been playing “Monopoly on Vermont” and could start aiming for “Boardwalk”
• How to pick sponsors/operators: Why the property is the horse—but the operator is the jockey
• Legacy + kids + money: Practical ways Erin teaches her kids wealth, ownership, and discipline through real assets and transparency

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• The deal can pull you forward. If it’s truly a home-run, you can often solve the capital stack after you commit.
• You don’t need to invest where you live. Go where the math works and the rules protect landlords.
• Confidence comes after action. Most people wait to feel ready—winners move, then grow into the identity.
• Real estate is a team sport. Relationships and operators matter as much as underwriting.
• Integrity compounds. Your reputation is an asset—protect it, even when it costs you in the short term.
• Bet on the jockey first.
