Episode 15: Why Every Doctor Should Invest In Real Estate with Dr. Gill of Dr. Realtors
The Wealth Strategy Every Doctor Needs To Hear: How Dr. Gill Turns Real Estate Into Freedom
By Sherry Sutton | Heart of the Hustle Show
Think being a doctor means trading time for money forever? Think again. Dr. Gill of Dr. Realtors is showing medical professionals how to build real estate portfolios that create long-term wealth, tax advantages, and true freedom—without the burnout.
Let’s talk about something most doctors never hear in med school:
You don’t have to work 80 hours a week forever to build wealth.
I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with Dr. Gill on Heart of the Hustle, and let me tell you—this wasn’t your typical real estate conversation. This was about legacy. About freedom. About designing a life where your practice doesn’t own you.
Dr. Gill is a chiropractor, an entrepreneur, and the founder of Dr. Realtors, a real estate firm that helps doctors and other professionals buy, sell, and invest strategically. But he’s more than that—he’s proof that smart real estate decisions can turn burnout into balance and high income into true wealth.
Why Real Estate Matters (More Than You Think)
If you’re a doctor, dentist, or healthcare professional, you already know this:
✅ You make good money.
😓 You don’t have a lot of time.
🧾 You’re probably taxed to death.
Now imagine this: what if your office building paid you? What if your real estate investments could replace part (or all) of your salary? What if your biggest monthly expense became your biggest asset?
That’s the mindset shift Dr. Gill helps his clients make.
“Real estate is a hard asset. Even if your business fails, you still have something. You can repurpose it. Rent it. Reinvest it.”
That blew me away. Because he’s right. So many professionals are building businesses that rely on them showing up every single day—but they’re not building anything that outlives them.
From Clinic To Compound: How Dr. Realtors Serves Medical Professionals
One of the things I loved most about this conversation is how personal it is for Dr. Gill.
He didn’t just stumble into real estate. He lived it—starting at 15 years old, helping his immigrant parents manage properties. He’s been through the tough stuff (like squatters and eviction). And now, he’s helping others skip the mistakes and fast-track the wins.
Dr. Realtors is a full-service agency tailored to the unique needs of medical professionals. That means:
Commercial properties with plumbing, gas, and HVAC needs (hello dentists 👋)
Residential buys with long-term appreciation strategies
Negotiated leases that protect your time, space, and sanity
Tax-smart investment plans built to lower liability and boost passive income
“Every doctor is different. We don’t just open doors—we strategize around what they actually need.”
Why So Many Doctors Don’t Invest—And Why They Should
Let’s be honest: there’s a ton of fear when it comes to real estate. Especially when you’re already drowning in student loans and running a practice.
Dr. Gill sees it all the time:
“What if I fail?”
“What if I can’t make the down payment?”
“What if I sign a 10-year lease and it’s the wrong location?”
Here’s the thing—those fears are valid. But they’re not facts.
That’s why Dr. Realtors doesn’t just sell property. They educate. They show professionals that:
There are strategic lenders who offer 0% down deals for doctors
You can start by leasing with exit options built in
And yes, the best time to buy is usually... now
“I’ve seen doctors go from 1 door to 100 doors. It all starts with that first one.”
Real Estate Is The Long Game (But It Helps In The Short Term Too)
Dr. Gill reminded me of something powerful: real estate doesn’t just build wealth slowly—it can help right now.
Tax advantages from depreciation and write-offs
Rental income to ease the pressure of clinic revenue
Equity you can pull from later to grow faster
And best of all? It gives you options. Which, as a business owner, is priceless.
So even if your practice shifts, pivots, or closes, you’re not left with nothing. You’re left with an asset you can rent to another provider, sell, or turn into a second income stream.
Real Estate Meets Real Life: From Remodels to Ground-Up Builds
Dr. Gill and his wife (a dentist!) have done it all:
Leasing spaces for their first practices
Buying buildings to control their own growth
Remodeling medical spaces to fit their exact needs
Now... partnering on ground-up developments
So when he gives advice, it’s not theory—it’s lived experience.
“We’ve been through HVAC repairs, build-outs, contractor nightmares... everything. That’s why I can guide clients through the whole process with confidence.”
It’s that blend of professionalism and been-there-done-that energy that makes Dr. Realtors such a gem.
Why I’m So Obsessed With Dr. Gill’s Approach
Here’s the real reason I’m such a fan of what Dr. Gill is doing:
He's not selling a service. He's building a movement—helping medical professionals stop trading hours for dollars and start building lives with more freedom, flexibility, and future-forward thinking.

Final Thoughts: The Best Time To Build Your Legacy Is Right Now
