I became interested in real estate investing sometime during my anesthesia residency and have been hungry for knowledge on the topic ever since. I’ve read book after book, like Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The ABC's of Real Estate Investing, and I spend a good amount of time on a weekly basis educating myself online.

There are so many amazing real estate investing blogs out there, but I’ve narrowed the list down to ones that I think are perfect for doctors. Why for doctors in particular? Well, they can actually be for anyone, but here’s the profile of the doctor / person I'm thinking of:

  • Full-time, busy professional (for now)
  • Not necessarily looking for another job that consumes most of their time, so…
  • Desires more passive-type investing where you can make residual income
  • Perhaps has some spare capital and is looking for ways to utilize it and diversify from the stock market

With this in mind, I wanted to highlight some blogs that give information on buy and hold type strategies or more passive-type strategies. These strategies should produce passive income for long-term financial security and wealth creation on the way to financial freedom.

While I love watching HGTV, house flipping and syndicating apartment buildings are more active pursuits and probably best handled by full-time real estate investors in my opinion.

So without further ado, here is my list of The 10 Best Real Estate Investing Blogs for Doctors.

1. The BiggerPockets Blog – This is the granddaddy of real estate investing blogs. The blog and the forum put together is the most comprehensive resource out there on the web for the amateur or professional investor. Check out this post: Why a 30-Year (NOT 15-Year) Mortgage Gives You a Better Shot at Building Wealth.

2. REtipster – “Real World Guidance for the Part-time Investor.” Wait, that speaks to me and probably most other professionals out there. Seth Williams’ posts are a wealth of information but very easy to understand and to take action on. Check out this post: The Beginner's Guide to Buying Rental Properties (A Case Study).

3. Just Ask Ben – Ben Leybovich is a straight shooter who had to change careers due to a medical condition and built up a 1.5m portfolio in a short amount of time. He says he’s passionate about educating and it shows in his writing. Check out this post: The 7 Reasons to Invest in Real Estate Instead of Stocks.

4. Morris Invest – Clayton Morris and his wife Natali (www.natalimorris.com) believe in the long term buy and hold strategy in real estate for long term wealth creation. They’ve created a nice multimedia platform and I really enjoy the content they put out. I love to hear how this couple works together to try to achieve financial freedom through passive income. (Sound familiar?) Check out this post: The BRRRR Method for Real Estate Investing.

5. HomeUnion Blog – This blog, by the company HomeUnion (a sponsor of this site), gives actionable tips for people interested in building a portfolio, one single family residence at a time. Their infographics are on point. Check out this post:

7. Memphis Invest Blog – Chris Clothier runs this blog and is the face of the company, Memphis Invest, a business that helps people invest in turnkey real estate.
