Hey y'all, I'm a guy that's just starting an MD residency. Not much capital at the moment, but want to prepare to work smart when do have capital/potential partners. 

LI clearly is bit of tough market for someone in my situation, probably related to how there are few postings on marketplace but my goal is to generate rental properties to develop decent passive income.  

Mastermind groups are fun so if any body wants to become allies, you are very welcome. Does not hurt to have a trusted contact in health care system neither, hahaha. 

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Sharif Syed . What sort of medicine are you looking to practice?

Physicians and Nurses can be a great source of private financing, once you get started down your real estate path. Learn your market right now, or start looking to other markets that are a little more affordable. The Midwest has numerous markets where the cash flows - if you buy right. If you're just starting your residency, I'm guessing you're not going to have a lot of free time in the near future. Turnkey investing may be the best way for you to get started. @Ali Boone is a huge proponent of Turnkey. She's from the west coast - and only does turnkey investing.
