Financial freedom is a goal that many people aspire to achieve.
It means having enough money to support your lifestyle without
relying on a paycheck or anyone else for financial support.
Achieving financial freedom is a challenging feat. It may lead us
to step outside the comfort of our profession and allow ourselves
to enter into a different realm of learning. For instance, in
Medicine, gaining knowledge and understanding about real estate
investments could bring professional growth for them and a sense of
security for their families.
Moreover, achieving financial freedom through real estate
investment requires a long-term, strategic approach. Building our
knowledge, starting small, and focusing on cash flow can all
contribute to our success. Remember that we must stay committed to
our goals and remain adaptable to changing market conditions. We
can achieve financial freedom through real estate investment with
diligence and patience. Thus, financial freedom is not a one-time
achievement but a lifelong journey requiring continuous effort and
commitment.

Key Takeaways:
"If you love what you do, then the sacrifices don't come." – Dr.
Gulshan Oberoi
"Decide what you want to do and get on the path. You can't listen
to what all the naysayers have to say because many people that tell
you such things haven't been down that road anyway." – Dr. Derrick
Burgess
"The idea of financial freedom took place not out of necessity but
out of circumstances." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi
"I started thinking, how can I be financially free so that even if
I lose my job, my kids are fed and, I still have a good source of
income to fall back on if the time comes to that." – Dr. Gulshan
Oberoi
"There was a lot of uncertainty, and it was a waking call for many
physicians and health care workers to say this profession that
we've held so tightly to has changed already.” – Dr. Derrick
Burgess
"Real Estate gives geographical freedom, financial freedom, and
time freedom. To put it in perspective, I considered a person
financially free when their passive income from their investment
exceeds their monthly expenses." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi
"Don't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait." – Dr.
Gulshan Oberoi
"The mission of our company is basically to help physicians, and
other busy professionals generate tax efficient passive income and
build generational wealth, not only for themselves but also for
their family." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi
"Once you gain knowledge, that's when you become more confident in
investing because the more you learn, the less risk it is
involved." – Dr. Derrick Burgess
"I don't buy an asset just so that it will appreciate later on. As
long as its cash flows, appreciation will take care of itself. And
as I say, the best investment on earth is earth." – Dr. Gulshan
Oberoi
"Neurology has its language. Orthopedics has its language. Real
estate has its language. To study it was like taking a vocabulary
test, the more you see it, the more you read about it, the more you
understand." – Dr. Derrick Burgess
"When you set your heart and mind to something, you can do whatever
you want. It's a mindset, and I want to keep that mindset." – Dr.
Gulshan Oberoi
"But always keep in mind that you should always have a place to
serve others." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi
