Dr. Schloe’s journey began during residency, when he purchased his first investment property with a physician loan and just $58 out of pocket. That early experience showed how house hacking and strategic real estate investing can be accessible even during medical training. He explains how residential assisted living differs from traditional large-scale facilities, offering personalized care in smaller, home-like settings with far better caregiver-to-resident ratios. These homes not only improve care quality and outcomes, but they also cost less than institutional care. We also explore the strong investment potential behind this model, from the massive care gap created by the aging baby boomer population to the various ownership options physicians can pursue, whether running their facility or investing passively. With their medical background and income potential, physicians are uniquely positioned to identify quality care and participate in a real estate opportunity that’s both profitable and socially meaningful.
