Should you Buy Rental Properties? A Physician's Perspective after 15 years of Real Estate Investing

beyond MD with Dr. Yatin Chadha

I'm happy to have Dr. Kevin Mailo back on the show to discuss what he's learned from investing in real estate (RE) over the last 15 years. We talk about winners and laggards in the portfolio, property managers, challenges with direct ownership in RE, the importance of due diligence in private equity, & how critical it is to understand your "why" in investing.
