of dedicated investing , employment became an option for Dr . Mishra — he no longer needed his job as a physician to pay his family ' s bills .
Being employmentoptional while being decades younger than the average retirement age has allowed Dr . Mishra , his wife and two children the opportunity to travel around the world . The extra vacation time with family has helped them create precious memories .
Dr . Mishra is a rarity in the medical industry . Sadly , he explains that many medical and healthcare professionals are not taking advantage of the powerful financial benefits that real estate investing provides .
Instead , many professionals toil long hours and work extended periods without vacations . After spending many years in school , many doctors and nurses may also be buried with student or business loans and credit card debt . Dr . Mishra sees many of his colleagues and associates deal with " career burnout " as well .
For this reason , Dr . Mishra is on a mission to help as many fellow physicians and medical professionals as possible learn about investing in real estate , particularly multifamily units . He wants to lead by example and prove to the naysayers that real estate investing works , and the American dream of ownership is still viable !
