Description
Doctors Building Wealth is for physicians drowning in student debt and working endless hours, wondering if your medical career will ever bring true freedom. Despite your six-figure income, the path from successful doctor to financially independent professional feels impossibly complex.
We get it—balancing patient care and financial planning is overwhelming when no one taught you how to invest during medical school. Lucky for you, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Meet Drs. Letizia Alto and Kenji Asakura, physicians who've built a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio while maintaining their medical careers. They've helped hundreds of fellow doctors replace clinical income with passive cash flow—without sacrificing patient care.
Join Leti and Kenji each week as they interview physician investors who've escaped the burnout cycle, share step-by-step strategies to analyze deals, and provide actionable blueprints to build your real estate portfolio with your busy schedule. Learn how to leverage your high income, create tax advantages most doctors miss, and build the time freedom you deserve.
It's time to stop trading your time for money and start building generational wealth. Your patients need you at your best—not burned out and counting the years to retirement.
