Why Smart Physicians Quit Being Landlords (And Make More) — Kent Ritter

In this episode of Doctors Investor Club, I sit down with Kent Ritter — founder and CEO of Hudson Investing, multifamily operator, and former medial IT entrepreneur — to unpack how physicians and dentists can leverage institutional real estate, avoid the pitfalls of being a landlord, and build wealth with risk-adjusted returns.
