Doctors Building Wealth
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.

How Can I Invest in Real Estate If I Don’t Have Any Time?

You Have More Time Than You Think
"I don't have time."
It's the number one objection we hear from doctors considering real estate investing. And honestly? It's a question we asked ourselves back in 2015 when we were both working 80+ hours a week as hospitalists, Kenji had a startup, and I was picking up OB shifts on the side.
So we get it. Your schedule is packed. Your responsibilities are real. And the idea of adding something else to your plate feels impossible.
But here's what we've learned after building a portfolio of over 175 doors: real estate doesn't work like medicine. The rules are completely different. And once you understand that, everything changes.
In this episode, we break down exactly why "I don't have time" is actually a limiting belief, and how doctors with schedules just as demanding as yours are building portfolios that generate consistent cashflow without sacrificing their sanity.
By the time you finish listening, you'll discover:
Why real estate is fundamentally different from trading time for money (and how that changes everything)
The "episodic work" concept that explains why your tenth property takes less time than your first
How the "who not how" principle lets you leverage teams so you're not doing everything yourself
The costly trap of over-education and how to escape analysis paralysis
Why getting more efficient over time means scaling up can actually reduce your workload
The real cost of inaction and what your life could look like five to ten years from now if you start today
The Bottom Line
You already have the time. What you need is the right system, the right community, and the confidence to take action. Real estate investing isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about building something that eventually takes work off your plate and gives you the freedom to choose how you spend your time.
A little more effort now for decades of freedom later. That's the trade we made. And thousands of doctors in our community have made the same choice.
