ER Doctor Cut Her Shifts in Half (Without Losing Income)

ER Doctor Cut Her Shifts in Half (Without Losing Income)

ER physician reveals how she cut shifts from 19 to 8 per month using multifamily real estate — and why conservative underwriting saved her investors when others failed.

In this episode of Truly Passive Income, Neil Henderson and Clint Harris sit down with Dr. Nkem Ezeamama, an ER physician turned real estate syndicator and founder of Phoenix Capital Investments. Dr. Nkem shares how private equity groups cycling through her practice and firing physicians without warning pushed her to build financial security outside medicine, eventually growing a platform serving over one hundred accredited investors.
