2:00
. We got a lot to talk about in this
2:02
episode .
2:03
What are we talking about ? So ?
2:04
actually , this episode is going to be a feedback episode . This
2:06
is going to be something related to what people
2:09
have written to us , have asked us In
2:11
some form or fashion . We may get some feedback on
2:13
Instagram or email or what
2:15
have you , but this is an opportunity for us to kind of try
2:18
to respond back to a lot of
2:20
the feedback that we've been getting on
2:22
. You know previous episodes , so I want to take
2:25
that moment to jump into that .
2:26
Most people will call that a Q&A .
2:30
I don't know if it's Q&A , because people aren't really sending us
2:32
questions . There's maybe one question
2:34
. Actually , there aren't any questions
2:36
, it's just feedback . Ah
2:38
Right , okay , so can I just
2:40
be the skip of this show
2:42
, like you're the talent you , shannon , now
2:45
skip . All right , there you go , you
2:47
here to entertain people .
2:48
Don't do that now skip . I'm here to make sure this show goes the right
2:51
way . Don't do that now skip .
2:52
You see this I'm going to get a part in my hair .
2:55
His part is strong yeah .
3:04
Like that part . Look like , seriously , seriously , somebody put it in there
3:06
in 1965 . He's got a 1970s
3:08
part , yo , because if you go even to my album , my photo album , you look at some
3:10
of my kid , my children , child photos , you can see a strong
3:13
part that used to be right here . Yeah man
3:15
, oh my God , especially the Catholic school days . Don't
3:18
put that part in there . Oh my goodness Yo
3:20
. So we got a lot to get through
3:22
today . Guys , this is a feedback episode . Like I said
3:24
, we're going to read a review from Apple Podcasts
3:26
. We always love that , okay
3:28
. And then we're going to jump into actually
3:30
some feedback that we have gotten from
3:33
our text messaging . Remember
3:35
, you can text us at 833-230-2860
3:39
. Literally
3:43
, as soon as you text us , that comes directly to my phone , to her phone , so you can actually interact with
3:45
us directly . And then we're going to talk about
3:48
Awning , which is that online
3:50
platform . Someone texted us and wanted to know what
3:52
our thoughts what's our results of
3:54
? that and then that's
3:56
pretty much it , but we got a lot to talk about in
3:58
these things , so why don't we jump right
4:00
into it ? I got my notes . I
4:06
feel like I'm skip right . I feel like I'm ready to go ?
4:07
no mercy , keep going
4:09
no , because then we might have to pay for it
4:11
of course I know it . It
4:13
literally is no mercy , like a million times
4:16
let's just make debate .
4:18
I don't make mistakes , I just make debate
4:20
whatever shout
4:23
out to Shout out to Lil Wayne . That's
4:25
really . I actually think that's . I agree
4:27
with Skip . That's the best intro and
4:29
at least in that , like sports In ESPN
4:31
land , they're not on ESPN , they're on Fox
4:33
.
4:33
Oh sorry , that's true , I forgot they're
4:35
not ESPN anymore .
4:37
No , it's not . They're not ESPN . He's not on ESPN
4:40
anymore . Yeah , that's what I mean . That's what you meant .
4:41
Yeah , all right ?
4:43
Well , listen guys . Let's jump into an
4:45
Apple podcast review . I love these
4:47
. This was a five-star review .
4:51
This was from another , dr Rene what
4:53
.
4:53
When it's with one E right
4:55
with an Egu at the end . Did
4:59
I say it right ? Imposter .
5:04
But it's with one E . Yes , is that a man ? Well , that
5:07
is the male form of that
5:09
name , but that doesn't necessarily mean that
5:11
it is a man , because I
5:14
actually do know and
5:16
went to high school with a Renee who
5:18
was female and she used
5:20
one E , but that is the male form
5:22
of the name , renee .
5:24
Well , Dr Renee , with
5:26
one E , says love , love , love
5:28
this podcast . I truly enjoyed
5:31
Dr Parham . Shout out to Dr Parham
5:33

5:34
Dr Bala , that was a great , great episode
5:36

So I truly enjoyed Dr Parham and
5:42
Atomic Habits reviews
5:44

5:48
Renee . Thank you , Dr Renee , Thank you very much . Yay

5:54
All right , simmer down now . Thank you very
5:56
much for the five-star review . We appreciate
5:58
that and we appreciate that feedback . Yeah , Because
6:00
that lets us know what to do . So Dr Powerarm
6:02
if you guys have not listened to that , that
6:04
was an episode about how this doctor
6:06
was doing all the right things in terms of saving
6:08
her money going
6:11
into index funds and at one
6:13
point she had almost $500,000
6:15
in her savings account yeah
6:17
, just sitting there getting
6:20
like 1% interest If that much
6:22
and she finally woke up and realized
6:24
that she needed to have her money working harder
6:26
for her . So she got into real estate
6:28
and she's been able to really triple
6:31
X , quadruple X or whatever the hell
6:33
. It is 5X
6:35
, 10x , whatever it is . She's doing really good
6:37
right now . She's reached her FI number really
6:39
fast . So that was a dope episode . And
6:41
then Atomic Habits . We've gotten a lot of , not
6:49
just from this Apple podcast right here , but we've gotten a lot of feedback . I got people who wrote
6:51
to me on Instagram , people who wrote to us on LinkedIn saying that they really appreciated
6:53
our perspective on this book . Some
6:55
people souped up that we put them on
6:57
the book . Other people just heard of the book , never
7:00
opened the book , but just saw the clips
7:02
of what it's done for
7:04
me , right , and I'm like , hmm , maybe I should start reading
7:06
this book more . Yeah , yeah , hey
7:09
, it's been helping me . So check out the
7:11
most recent episode I don't
7:13
even know when this episode , this episode , should come out Either
7:16
way the one where I talk about 16
7:18
weeks of working out . Yeah , four books read
7:21
in four months , like
7:25
that is the road results of four months of actually doing and creating a system with
7:27
atomic habits . That book is dope doperty
7:30
, dope yeah so , look , let's move
7:32
on , because I could tell already , like so
7:35
for folks who don't know , if you're not seeing us on
7:37
youtube , shout out to y'all who watch us on
7:39
youtube . Renee's eyes are red
7:41
. The energy
7:43
is not there . Trust me , I
7:45
know my wife , the energy is not there Likely
7:50
she's tired mainly because she
7:53
is post-call .
7:54
Am I right ? Yeah , I am , I'm post-call
7:57
today . So yeah , as
8:00
much as I'm trying to cut myself
8:02
up and singing along with Lil Wayne
8:04
, I am tired .
8:06
And at this job you are per
8:09
diem correct . Yes per diem
8:11
. How do you like it ?
8:13
I mean , it's good , I like being per diem because
8:16
I get to choose when
8:18
I work , how I work . It's
8:22
very similar to locums . How
8:27
I work , it's very similar to locums , you know . So , for those of you that don't know , I work typically
8:29
only one weekend per month , and
8:31
when I do , I work the
8:33
night shift for 12 hours
8:35
. Night shift . Yeah , remember that
8:38
song ? Yeah , shout out , shout
8:40
out to who ?
8:41
shout out to who to .
8:43
Marvin , marvin Gaye , because that's who the song was
8:45
for .
8:45
He was the same stuff . I
8:47
was like , ah , you don't know who ?
8:48
it is Okay . And Jackie Robinson , not
8:50
Jackie Robinson . Jackie ugh
8:53
, jackie
8:55
, dang it . Jackie
8:57
Chan no , I
8:59
forgot who else I'm tired .
9:01
Listen , anyway , anyway . So
9:04
with per diem work , you are employed
9:06
by the hospital . Yes , you work for them , but
9:09
they have no say in your schedule
9:11
whatsoever .
9:12
Yeah , pretty much . Yeah
9:15
, it's , you know , like a per diem . They call it flex
9:17
locums , but it's really per diem work . So
9:19
you know I just kind of come in when
9:22
I say that I can come in , and
9:24
you know I just kind of come in when I say that
9:26
I can't come in . And you know , I work , like I said , 12-hour
9:28
shifts , usually a Friday , saturday
9:30
, sunday .
9:30
Yeah , so you do Friday night shifts Saturday night
9:32
shift and Sunday night shift
9:35
and then you come back home on Monday .
9:36
Yeah .
9:37
They take care of your hotel , yeah , and
9:39
then you pay your own—but you have to pay
9:41
your own gas because technically you're W-2 .
9:43
Because I'm W-2 . Technically you pay your own gas , you pay your
9:45
own food .
9:46
They take care of medical malpractice
9:48
.
9:49
Yes .
9:50
And that , for the most part , there's really
9:52
not much tax benefits . Actually , there are no tax
9:54
benefits .
9:54
Yeah , there's no tax benefits because I'm W-2 .
9:56
So I think the biggest benefit is being
9:58
able to work whenever you want to yeah and
10:01
go from there and they cover your medical malpractice right
10:03
, and then the amount of hours that you're putting in
10:05
, though you're not eligible for health insurance well
10:09
, yeah , I currently know
10:11
, but I would be eligible for health
10:13
insurance if I bumped up the number of hours
10:15
so if you were to tell someone hey , I
10:18
would do per diem work
10:20
or I would do locums , like just straight locums
10:22
, which one do you prefer ?
10:24
Ooh , well , probably
10:28
straight locums , straight locums , for me definitely
10:30
.
10:30
Yeah , because Definitely straight locums for me .
10:32
Yeah , probably straight locums
10:34
because of the tax benefits that
10:36
I would get
10:38
. Think that working straight
10:40
locums just gives you that
10:43
much more of a benefit than
10:46
you know , than
10:53
just picking when you work and how you work in comparison to per diem .
10:55
So yeah , I'd have to say locums . So I think for me , like I started thinking about , like
10:57
how I look at locums now versus
10:59
how I look at locums when I was you
11:02
I was right out of fellowship or even during
11:04
residency when you were talking about it . I think
11:06
still a lot of the terms
11:08
that we talk about goes over people's heads
11:10
W-2 versus 1099
11:12
versus locums versus per diem , tax
11:15
benefits , all these different things , a lot
11:17
of that stuff can get confusing . So
11:20
I'm really excited that you can go
11:22
to locumstorycom and check out that website
11:24
because I think you know when you go there
11:26
you'll see literally you'll get like
11:28
an A to Z type definitions
11:30
on or A to Z type of what's
11:33
the word I want to use or the way
11:35
description , way I want to use it is . Basically
11:37
they kind of help you understand
11:39
all the ins and outs of locums
11:42
Right . understand
11:45
all the ins and outs of locums , right . You know , without getting too like you don't
11:47
feel like you're reading too much , it's really like in bite-sized information
11:49
where you get it . And then , for me , I think , the other thing is
11:51
the tax benefits that they talk about . All
11:53
these different things that they talk about I think are huge . Um
11:56
, you know me , money talks . I
11:59
like the fact that I can , you
12:01
know , tell how much I'm making
12:03
and how much I would make with company
12:06
A , company B company
12:08
C those comparisons . So that's why I
12:10
like locumstorycom is because when you go there it's
12:12
really unbiased information . They give you all the information you need to
12:14
know . So I like that I like money . I like to talk about
12:16
money . I don't know what you like .
12:17
Well , we all know that you like talking about money , you
12:19
like talking about money .
12:20
Give me my money , give me my money .
12:21
Give me my money . Yeah , we know no , but seriously , yeah
12:23
, I would choose Locum over
12:26
Per Diem .
12:34
I think Locum Story is definitely a great resource , especially if you're like
12:37
I don't really know if I want to do Locum .
12:38
It's like Grand Hustle when people you know when they're talking about
12:40
the therapist and people look at Locum Story , they're like dang . You mean Grand
12:42
Crew .
12:43
Grand Crew . Yes
12:45
, what did you say ? Grand Crossover ? But I think
12:47
if people go to the website , they'll
12:51
see that there's a lot of information there that I definitely , when I was 2012
12:53
, I didn't know was out there and stuff . So I
12:55
always tell people make sure you go to locumstorycom check it out
12:58
. For me , the biggest thing that I like
13:00
about it also is it gives you pay range
13:02
. It gives you the typical schedule . So , if you
13:04
go and you type in trauma surgeon , you
13:06
go and you type in it , it will give you
13:08
what the typical schedule is . It will also
13:10
give you what the typical assignment length
13:12
. How long will you be on an assignment
13:14
? Whether it's one week if it's a month
13:17
, if it's three months , and then it also
13:19
will let you know if your field is in high demand or
13:21
not .
13:21
Which , yeah , I'll let you know if your field is in high demand or not . Which , yeah , I will
13:23
tell you a lot of the questions
13:25
. Well , we get a lot of questions about locums , but
13:28
that is one of them . Depending on the specialty , I've
13:35
gotten people you know who have asked me like , well , I don't know
13:37
, is anybody really looking for , you know , an
13:40
allergy or an immunologist
13:42
, you know for locums , and
13:44
so you know , I don't actually know the answer
13:47
to that . So that would be a great
13:49
place to go and look and see . Like I don't
13:51
know , is locums
13:53
really good for analogists ?
13:55
Not to cut you off , but that's actually a really good point . So when I
13:57
mentioned before I have it here the pay
13:59
range , the typical schedule , the assignment length
14:01
and then if your field is in high
14:03
demand or not . It actually puts it in icons so
14:06
it's really easy to read and it'll show
14:08
. The last thing it says is are you in high demand or
14:10
not ? So , yeah , when people ask those questions
14:12
like , can I get a job as an allergist , it's like well
14:14
, yeah , like , check out this site , it'll
14:16
tell you where you're
14:19
going to be in demand . If you're not , it
14:21
still lets you know what your rate is and
14:23
then we can go from there . So I like it . I think
14:25
it's dope . Guys , the link to learn
14:27

14:29

17:10
break , we'll be right back . This
17:12
episode is brought to you by locumstorycom . Backdrop
17:16
2012 , finishing
17:18
my fellowship in Miami and no decision
17:21
bigger than where and how I was
17:23
going to start working on my own , and
17:25
there it was the fork in the road being
17:27
employed versus something
17:29
I had never heard of before locum
17:31
tenants . So I decided to go the
17:33
locums route and I had a ton of questions . Then
17:35
I stumbled a bit , but
17:37
eventually I was able to stand on my own
17:40
and I have been working locums over
17:42
the past 10 years . Now , what
17:44
about you ? If you're considering locums
17:46
, you probably have hella questions , just like I did
17:48
, like who covers my malpractice
17:50
, do I really have control over
17:52
how often I work , and what are
17:54
the tax implications ? Now , lucky
17:57
for you , locumstorycom has
17:59
the answers you need . It's packed with unbiased
18:02
information and advice from docs just
18:04
like you , and there's nothing to sell here
18:06
. It's just a simple resource for
18:08
information , like finding out what's the
18:10
average pay rate for your specialty . There's
18:15
even a quiz to see if locums
18:18
is right for you . So listen , take
18:23
my advice Locumstorycom is the perfect place to start
18:25
if you want to learn more about locums . That's locumstorycom
18:29
, and we are back All right . So
18:32
our second text message
18:34
and this is going to be a long one . That's why I waited until after the break
18:36
on this one . Okay , this is from Justin . He
18:38
is an interventional radiology fellow
18:40
. He writes are
18:43
you going to come back around and tell us how
18:45
your awning investment is
18:47
going ? So I don't
18:49
know if you guys remember , but earlier
18:52
, well late last year , we
18:55
were looking for another
18:57
investment property , particularly
19:00
in Houston , texas , h-town
19:02
, and we decided to use Awning
19:04
, which is this online platform where it makes
19:06
it really easy for you , particularly
19:09
if you're far away , to invest
19:11
in faraway markets . It
19:13
does a lot of the research for you
19:15
. We ran the numbers on awning and
19:18
the numbers are very similar to the numbers that
19:20
we would use on our own online calculator
19:22
or that we would use in similar courses
19:24
that teach you how to calculate a
19:26
whole bunch of different numbers to determine if
19:29
a property is worth investing or not , and
19:31
to me I liked it a lot At
19:34
the time . You know , one of the biggest I
19:36
don't know if it's a plus or minus , but
19:38
one of the biggest things was that it was really you
19:40
really kind of just locked into single family
19:42
homes . It wasn't multifamily , but
19:45
we were really close to purchasing a
19:47
property . On Awning , we put in two
19:49
, two bids , two bids . We
19:52
should have put in way more , but there was a lot
19:54
going on in our life . So
19:56
just long story short , no
19:58
, we have not purchased a property through awning
20:00
yet , right , um , but
20:02
it doesn't mean that we are not . We
20:05
just got a lot of shit going on , basically we
20:07
do we do we need to slow down a little bit
20:09
and kind of just kind of get you know the tables
20:12
, get the seats at the chair .
20:13
Yeah , you know , get the seats at the table , kind of well
20:15
, yeah , yeah , I mean , you know , when we
20:18
talked about Dr Parham earlier
20:21
and so when I listened to her episode
20:23
and then got this
20:25
text message , I was like , ok , that's a
20:27
sign Like we need to , we
20:29
need to get back into the real estate
20:31
game . And you know , just
20:34
go back to awning . I really liked
20:36
awning as well , still
20:38
like it , and I think it's something that we
20:40
should definitely double down
20:43
on for our next
20:45
property , because , you know
20:47
, houston is a hot market and
20:50
while , yes , it's single family homes
20:52
, I think that's
20:54
what sells down there . Well , I think you know that's what . Well , I think
20:56
we're getting to a point that's what rents down there .
20:58
We're getting to a point , though I think we're going to have to start looking
21:00
more on the outskirts of Houston
21:02
, because it's picking
21:04
up quick , yeah , it's picking up quick , yeah . It's
21:06
to the point where now we're starting to say
21:08
, hey , maybe we need to look at San Antonio
21:10
, so when
21:12
we jump back into this , we
21:15
probably don't have to look at San Antonio . Now , the
21:17
thing that I wanted to bring up is well
21:19
, why haven't we jumped into it ?
21:21
Yeah .
21:22
Let's be honest , like we've had some issues with our property
21:24
, let's jump into that .
21:25
Oh yeah , the one in Pennsylvania .
21:27
Justin , we got to be real with you and let you know like we've had
21:29
some issues with our property in Pennsylvania . And
21:32
just to kind of give people a recap , our
21:34
property , which is our first investment property
21:36
ever , it's a six-unit complex . It's
21:41
in Northeastern PA .
21:42
It's doing okay , it's not doing
21:44
great , it's not doing horrible but
21:50
it's taking a lot of our attention , yeah , and we probably need to optimize
21:52
that first .
21:54
Before we jump into another property and
21:56
then look , let me just be real with
21:59
you COVID really threw a wrench into
22:01
the property . Like
22:03
we purchased the property during COVID
22:05
yeah , November 2020 . Right
22:07
, but what ends up happening
22:09
? I think the number one thing is that we've had several tenants
22:11
who have refused to pay because
22:14
of , or needing , COVID relief
22:16
.
22:16
Basically , Right needing COVID relief . Yeah , we've
22:18
had a couple of tenants who
22:21
either haven't been able to pay or just
22:23
didn't pay , and that
22:25
has definitely made it , you
22:27
might have to move your microphone back a little bit . That has definitely
22:30
made it a little more difficult . We
22:34
have two tenants that
22:36
that moved out . Yeah um
22:39
well , they moved out after not
22:41
paying rent for a long period of time right
22:43
, exactly , and then we finally got a
22:45
tenant , but then there was
22:47
an issue with that , and then that tenant ended
22:49
up moving out um , literally
22:52
months , months within
22:54
moving in yeah .
22:55
So I think overall , from a 30,000
22:57
foot view , like we did not get a chance
22:59
to build up enough reserves so
23:02
that when we weren't getting rent , we
23:04
all we had to do was just kind of go into those reserves
23:07
to pay the mortgage or to pay
23:09
other bills . And because we didn't get
23:11
a chance to build that up , because we started having
23:13
these issues very quickly on , you
23:15
know , we had to go into our own savings to
23:18
make these things work . But
23:20
I think overall we're not in , I'm
23:23
not turned off by it , I'm more annoyed
23:26
. I'm very annoyed by it .
23:27
That I know you are .
23:28
Yeah , I'm very annoyed by it , but
23:30
you know some of the things besides
23:32
the folks who have refused to pay rent . They
23:35
have left and we've gotten new people
23:37
in . And as a matter of fact , in
23:39
the rear house , where we were able to raise
23:41
rent by $700 .
23:43
Yeah .
23:44
We were able to raise rent literally by $700
23:46
by bringing in someone new as well as
23:48
doing renovations there . So during
23:50
this time two water heaters broke . During
23:52
that time we had to replace
23:55
the roof on the back house
23:57
. That was very expensive . We had to
23:59
renovate the inside of that back
24:01
house . So , you guys are saying , what's this back house
24:03
thing ? And I thought it was six units . So it's
24:05
actually two properties the
24:07
first property , which is the largest property
24:10
, that has actual five apartment buildings
24:12
in there , and then there's a little like courtyard
24:15
, like grassy knoll area , and
24:17
then behind there is a house that
24:20
is the last unit , so
24:22
that makes a total of six , so that
24:24
whole entire place . We were able to increase
24:26
the rents but we had to do some renovation
24:28
in there to get that rent Right
24:31
. And then also , at the same time
24:33
, I know there's going to be some people who are cringing , some
24:35
like real estate gurus .
24:36
Don't judge us . All right , Don't judge us . We're still learning
24:39
.
24:39
We're still learning , but so for
24:41
the first property that
24:43
has five units , the water bill is
24:45
not split Right . So
24:48
we are paying the water bill for that
24:50
and initially , I think well , for a
24:52
while up until this year , it was manageable . And initially , I think , well , for a while
24:54
, up until this year it was manageable . Then
24:56
, all of a sudden , we started slowly noticing that the bill
24:59
or the water usage started going
25:01
up , doubled and it
25:03
stayed at a doubled rate for a couple of months
25:06
and
25:09
then it just went up again . And then during that time we sent our property manager
25:11
over there to go check out what's going on , and
25:14
I don't know if they did how , how much of an evaluation
25:16
they did .
25:17
Yeah , that was questionable .
25:18
Yeah , but they finally went in and looked
25:21
and found out that one of the tenants , the
25:24
the toilets were leaking or the toilet
25:26
was just constantly running . Right , and I know everybody
25:28
kept telling me , leah , like you know , you'd be
25:30
surprised how much toilets can make your water
25:32
bill go up and I was like whatever .
25:34
Yeah , it really can . Yo
25:36
toilets Damn it really can . We
25:38
probably should go in and put like you
25:40
know how people Yo put a brick
25:42
in there or something , yeah put a brick or put you know
25:45
bottles of water in there or something
25:47
. Yeah , but toilets , definitely
25:49
that makes a difference , yeah
25:51
, that makes a difference .
25:53
Yeah , so you know , we're going to have a long meeting with our CPA
25:55
to discuss what kind of options that we can
25:57
do , Because I do think that we're probably going to be operating
25:59
at a loss .
26:00
Oh yeah .
26:01
You know , this year , or at least for 2021
26:03
. What's 2022 now ? Yeah , so we're working
26:05
on 2021 taxes . I think
26:07
we're going to be working on that . That's just me cursory , just
26:09
speaking right now . I don't know .
26:28
What are your thoughts on it ? I mean , I think once we hit our bearings with
26:30
this PA property , with the one in Pennsylvania , I think you know we'll
26:33
definitely hit the ground running again
26:35
. I'd like to hit the ground running again
26:37
with Awning . I
26:39
really like the platform . We're very
26:42
busy and frankly
26:44
, it's like because of
26:46
so much , because we have so much going
26:48
on . I'd like to use a platform
26:50
that will allow us to , that
26:53
basically will allow us
26:55
in our busy lifestyle to be able to
26:58
hit the ground running Right . Otherwise
27:00
it's going to be back at it again and then
27:02
doing numbers kind of manually or plugging
27:04
it in to a calculator . And I'm like
27:06
even that like , if you want to run
27:08
a lot of houses with
27:11
you know , with all of these numbers , you
27:13
can do it much easily , much more easily
27:15
with awning . So that's
27:17
what I'd like to use . That's my vote All right
27:19
cool .
27:20
So , justin , that's where we're at . We're
27:22
going to use it . We just got some issues we got to take care
27:24
of , so boom , there we go .
27:26
That's a good update actually . I'm glad we updated
27:28
the audience on that .
27:30
So actually , this next topic I was going
27:32
to save until next episode , but
27:34
I'm going to bring it up . So listen , I got to get my phone real quick
27:36
. I'm going to step away for a quick second . You
27:38
entertain the crowd . I'll be right back , All right
27:40
.
27:40
Hey everybody , hey
27:44
everybody sing , hey
27:46
, go , go , go , go
27:48
, go . Hey , that was horrible guys .
27:51
You told me to entertain everybody .
27:52
You didn't tell me what to do .
27:53
All . You didn't tell me to entertain everybody . You didn't tell me what to do . All right
27:55
, so listen , this is something that I think actually will upset you , because
27:58
it actually upsets me , because it actually speaks
28:00
to the state of
28:02
medical education
28:04
and how expensive it is in
28:07
the United States . So this was actually
28:09
sent to me by one of our listeners
28:11
.
28:13
Ruh-roh Rorich .
28:25
His initials are MS listeners Ruh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh-roh
28:31
Dr Darko , do you think if I pursue PA
28:33
school and I am in
28:35
$275,000
28:37
after PA school , it's
28:40
still possible to repay and be okay
28:42
financially ? So basically what I think what they're
28:44
saying is do I
28:46
think if they go to PA school and
28:48
they accumulate $275,000
28:50
of student loan debt , are they still able
28:52
to repay their debt ? I know there is PSLFf
28:56
, but want to make sure I am making a
28:58
wise decision . I
29:00
was just listening to your latest podcast episode
29:02
and rethinking my plan
29:04
.
29:07
Oh , ok , man
29:10
. So
29:12
first of all , before he's got a point , though
29:14
, before we go into that , before
29:17
we go into that , I think
29:19
that Right
29:22
now , with as much information
29:24
as there is out there about
29:26
student loans , people podcasting
29:29
about personal finance , all this stuff Like
29:32
honestly medical education
29:34
, you know the leaders of medical education
29:37
need to realize you
29:41
know hold on real quick .
29:42
That episode is doing really well , like what
29:44
medical leaders need to know about
29:46
pre-med students . It's doing really well .
29:50
So , yeah , that was episode 282
29:52
. Yeah , that was episode 282
29:54
. So I think , you
29:56
know , the calling of medicine , right
29:59
, is definitely
30:02
being kind of interrupted by
30:04
the yeah , by the am
30:06
I going to be able to afford this ? And I think
30:08
, you know , the leaders in medical education
30:11
need to recognize that
30:13
. You know , you guys are not the only
30:15
game in town anymore , right
30:17
, that there are other voices at this
30:20
table basically saying
30:22
, well , if you go into
30:25
medical education , or if you , you
30:27
know , if you get a medical education , then
30:29
fill in blank here , right
30:31
? So medical education leaders are typically
30:34
like , well , if you go into medical education
30:36
, or if you get a medical
30:38
education , that you will be
30:40
fulfilling a dream . You'll be taking care of communities
30:43
, you'll be , you know , doing all these things . You'll be fulfilling
30:45
a calling . Well , the personal
30:48
finance . You know the
30:50
personal finance crew is like , well , you
30:52
can get a medical education , but here's
30:54
what it's going to cost you and here's what
30:56
you may or may not be able to pay .
31:01
And so you're not the only game in town anymore . Well , the way how I look at it
31:03
is like as someone who
31:05
was in college in the late
31:07
90s and graduated 2000 , late
31:15
90s and graduated 2000 . There's a the way in which I and the rest of my , the rest of the
31:17
you know , like the people in my graduating class , how they looked at college
31:19
versus how people look at college now
31:21
yeah totally different
31:24
how they look at college . Like now it's about
31:26
just attaining skills , right , and
31:28
I think back then , when we
31:30
were in college , it was about what's the
31:32
best school that you can go to ? Right
31:34
.
31:34
What diploma , what degree
31:37
you know be a reason why you can't finish
31:39
your degree . It made sense back then .
31:40
But actually is , I think , a reason a lot of people are
31:42
in trouble
31:59
right now , which is do you necessarily
32:01
need to go to like a really like
32:04
an Ivy League type of school to
32:06
get the skills , to get the degree that you need
32:08
to go on to the next stage , Right , Right
32:10
? So the reason I'm bringing that up , folks , is
32:12
that I still think med schools
32:14
take like an Ivy League mindset
32:17
.
32:17
Yes .
32:18
To finances
32:20
and finance in their school , which is you basically
32:22
pay to play , right , right , if you want to be
32:25
a doctor , if you want to be a PA , if you
32:27
want to be whatever insert , whatever
32:29
profession you want to do . That
32:31
happens to be something medically related , like
32:34
and it's definitely , I think , at the top
32:36
with medical school , it definitely is
32:38
epitomized by this you got to pay to play . And
32:41
I think that they're not really thinking about
32:43
how
32:45
they're compromising the mission
32:47
, the oath that we , as doctors , take
32:49
and for us to really
32:51
make decisions that are just out of our
32:53
you know , out of you know
32:55
, our our what's the word I want to use ? Out
32:58
of our skill set
33:00
, purview , whatever . It's not the skill
33:02
set , but what I'm talking about is like there's
33:05
this like empathy that we
33:07
have .
33:08
I gotcha , I gotcha . There's this
33:10
good nature that we have .
33:11
You know how people say , like , medicine is the last noble
33:13
profession .
33:14
Yeah , it's a calling .
33:15
There's a calling right Like you're compromising
33:18
or , excuse me , that calling can
33:20
be compromised when you got a ton of
33:22
student loan debt and you already have already
33:24
significant amount of people making
33:26
decisions as to what specialty they're going to choose
33:29
, what parts of the country they're going to use , they're
33:31
going to go to , based off of the amount
33:33
of money that they're going to be making
33:36
right . So when this guy brings
33:38
up this concept , I'm like yo . This is the issue
33:40
, like what he's saying is
33:43
epitomizes the issue .
33:44
Yeah , that literally is what's
33:46
going on right now .
33:48
Like that is the thing , right now Like should I be a
33:50
medical professional if I'm going to take
33:52
on all of this ?
33:53
debt . And so you know , back
33:55
in the 90s
33:57
, right , and you know , before
34:00
all of this , especially before
34:02
there was so much
34:04
information about student loan
34:06
, debt and just personal finance
34:08
in general , people
34:10
used to say , well , college is an investment , college
34:12
is an investment . Now
34:15
people are taking that to heart
34:17
, like , okay , if
34:19
college is an investment , what's
34:21
my ROI and how
34:24
long is it going to take me to
34:27
be able to do that ? And ROI no
34:29
longer means just how
34:32
much am I going to be able to get with this degree
34:34
, it's
34:36
how much am I going to be able to
34:38
pay back , and then what
34:41
am I going to have left after
34:43
I get paid ?
34:45
People are asking the questions that they should have been asking
34:47
in the 90s and the 2000s . And
34:50
from my perspective it just seems like , okay
34:52
, well , tuition is always going to go up
34:54
as long as there's going to be a guarantor to make
34:56
sure that the loans are going to be there right . So
34:59
yeah , I mean , if you know for a fact that Sallie Mae
35:01
or Navient which gives
35:03
me all my anyway which
35:06
, if you already know
35:08
that they're always going to be there to provide
35:10
these loans , what stops you from increasing
35:12
the tuition right ? Right so that's a major issue . So
35:14
, with you know what MS
35:16
is mentioning , is you know his
35:18
point about yeah , I'm going
35:21
to be in $275,000
35:23
of debt as a physician assistant . Can
35:26
I still do this ? You know , initially
35:28
, when I was in medical school
35:30
, if I saw this I'd be like
35:32
I'd slap in the back of the head and be like yo , get your
35:34
shit together Like come on . What
35:37
you thinking ? Are you trying to be a PA or what Get
35:39
her done right ? I don't know if that's
35:41
necessarily the right perspective to have . Right
35:43
Like
35:46
these are real-time decisions . It's almost like that Twitter post that
35:48
went out where the med student said
35:50
that she didn't realize the consequences of
35:53
her decisions and I think , from a
35:55
you know , if you're looking from an old
35:57
man's perspective or someone from a
35:59
perspective of get off my lawn it's very
36:01
quick to say , yeah , like you should have made decisions
36:03
before . Like there's a bunch of people
36:05
from different economic backgrounds , socioeconomic
36:09
backgrounds , who don't really think about these
36:11
type of things , right . So for
36:13
us to quickly say , or , or for some people to say , quickly say
36:15
, yeah , like that's the reason why you made this decision , because you're
36:17
financially illiterate , I don't
36:19
know , that didn't sit right with me , right . So I think
36:22
, someone who's thinking about becoming a professional
36:24
, on one hand , I'm like look , if
36:26
this is what you really want to do , then this is what you really want
36:29
to do , right , because there's a way to get
36:31
to the point where you can get out of debt and do this
36:33
. But also , at the same time , it's like damn
36:35
, $275k
36:37
. We're not even talking about interest . That's a
36:39
lot of money , that's a lot of things to
36:41
deal with .
36:42
Yeah , I mean . So this is what
36:44
I would say to MS . What
36:46
I would say is what you
36:48
have right now is one number . Change your
36:50
initials too , man . What
36:53
you have right now is one number , right
36:55
, and
37:00
I think it's always important to recognize the fact that one number alone
37:02
doesn't necessarily give you an equation
37:05
, right ? So you , what
37:07
does that mean ? In other
37:09
words , you can't have an equation with one number One
37:12
equals what Like . What does that mean ? In other words , you can't have an equation with one number
37:14
One equals what Like . What does that equal , right ? In
37:16
other words , you need more numbers . You
37:18
need to be able to see . You
37:20
know what is the likelihood
37:22
that you're going to be making a certain salary
37:25
, gotcha .
37:25
You need to be able to see .
37:27
you know , okay , if I live in this part
37:29
of the country , you know what
37:32
are my living expenses going
37:34
to be Like . You need more numbers
37:37
right to be able to make this decision , because
37:39
if you just look at one number , that's
37:42
a very limited scope . Yes
37:44
, $275,000 , that's nothing
37:46
to just sneeze at , right , like it is
37:48
a lot of money , but we don't know what
37:50
that means , relatively
37:53
speaking , when that
37:55
person gets to the
37:57
point to when they become
37:59
a PA and
38:01
they're going to be paying it back . So , do
38:04
you plan on getting a house ? Do
38:06
you plan on getting a car ? What
38:08
is your current status
38:11
in terms of debt ?
38:12
What type of hospital situation are're going to be in Right
38:14
? Are you going to be in a clinic based ?
38:15
Exactly .
38:16
Because right now I looked it up like average not
38:19
average , but like the salary range is anywhere
38:21
between like 85 to like maybe even
38:23
120 , even higher than that for physician
38:25
assistants . It's actually I might even be
38:27
wrong . I may be working with old information , but mathematical
38:29
wise it could be wrong , I may be , working with old information
38:31
, but mathematical-wise it
38:34
could be done . Ms , like , you
38:36
definitely can use
38:38
a combination of these benefits
38:41
with student loans
38:44
to be able to pay off your student loan debt , live
38:46
a life that you want but also
38:48
, at the same time , make a huge dent in your student loans
38:51
, and I think you can do it . I definitely think you
38:53
can do it based off of your income . But
38:55
I do see what you're saying . There's just so many different
38:58
variables that we need to know
39:00
more to be able to give them a definitive answer . But
39:02
I think overall , 30,000
39:04
foot view like hell yeah , yeah , it is
39:06
doable .
39:07
It's just a question of how much
39:09
of it do you want to do , right , you know
39:11
? How much of it do you want to do right ? At
39:13
what other cost do
39:16
you want to do this right ? Because that might
39:18
mean foregoing ? You
39:20
know , a new house , right , you
39:22
know , for several years . No Tesla , yo
39:24
Right , that might be foregoing
39:26
a car , you know that might
39:28
be foregoing , like that big vacation
39:31
that you wanted . Car you know that might
39:33
be foregoing , like that big vacation that
39:35
you wanted . You know , if you , you know
39:37
, even wanted to get married , that might mean you don't have that
39:39
big of a wedding .
39:42
I still remember there was a young , there was a young physician
39:44
assistant that came on when I was like in my third year
39:46
of when I was working on my job and he had a ton of student loan debt and the number
39:48
one thing that I remember he kept talking about is I want to get
39:50
a new car .
39:51
Right , oh yeah , I remember , I remember
39:53
.
39:53
Yeah , and I want to get a house
39:55
. And then things would always
39:57
change , like he was always thinking , thinking like
39:59
three , four or five years down the line
40:01
. But I was just like , dude , like the biggest thing
40:04
that you got to worry about right now is those , that student
40:06
loan debt yeah , because it's going to affect
40:08
so many different things in your life . Yeah , and
40:11
I remember him like we
40:13
would just sit and just talk and I would do the mathematics
40:15
with him , yeah , and just say , look like you get that
40:17
new car , I get that , you want
40:19
that , but think about how much money you can
40:21
just siphon off to your student loan payment .
40:23
Yeah , I remember that . You remember that . Yeah , I remember he
40:26
was always talking about he wanted a new car
40:28
and a new car and he was a PA , which
40:30
is really , you know , really
40:32
appropriate for this discussion right now , but
40:34
yeah , but
40:38
he was doing really good because he would get a lot of money through or an additional
40:40
income through overtime . Yeah .
40:41
So he was good with his money and he listened . Yeah
40:44
, and he delayed a lot of the major decisions
40:46
and purchases yeah , he eventually did
40:48
get that new car . He did , yeah , but he did it in
40:50
a smart way . So I'm really I'm
40:52
super proud of him Over years too Like he waited
40:54
.
40:55
So , like you know from him saying he wanted
40:58
the new car , to him actually getting the
41:00
car , there
41:02
were a lot of things that he did financially
41:04
for himself before he got
41:06
to that point .
41:07
And I think the cool thing too is that he educated
41:09
himself on how to properly invest . Exactly point , and I think the cool thing too is that
41:12
he educated himself on how to properly invest . So I remember he would come back and say , hey
41:14
, these are the funds that are in our 401k
41:16
, does
41:23
this make sense ? And I'd say yes or no . And then I remember
41:25
him maximizing that . And then he would find his . He got , he found
41:27
his own and started his own IRA and said I want to use this and
41:29
some of the things that he said . I knew he was doing the work . He was like
41:31
, hey , on my own IRA , like the index
41:34
funds are way better than what's in a 401k , which
41:36
is usually the case Right . And
41:38
then I was like man , my man is doing the work . And
41:40
then he , like , was able to drop 100k
41:43
off of his student loan debt , right , like
41:45
in , I think , two years .
41:46
Yeah , exactly , and he
41:49
ended up getting married . Exactly , and he ended
41:51
up getting married , yes , ended up having a baby
41:53
, and was in way better
41:55
financial , you know , in
41:57
a way better financial circumstance at
42:00
that point than when we first
42:02
met him . Yeah , yeah , remember that .
42:06
That was a great story , if that PA is listening . Man , you owe me money yo . How
42:08
about this yo ? You owe me some money yo .
42:11
That was a great story , that
42:13
literally it was great to watch . I should have .
42:15
Alfred , just put the name of the PR in the show
42:17
notes or right on here and be
42:19
like yo . Put my cash app right there . No , don't
42:21
Give me my money . Here's my QR
42:23
code . Bless my cash app .
42:25
Alfred , hook it up , bless my cash app
42:27
.
42:29
So , ms , our advice is listen
42:31
. For me , my thought process is if you really want
42:33
this , then yes , you should go after it . Like , I
42:37
think you should always consider the economics
42:39
, the money , the numbers with
42:41
any type of decision , but I think , ultimately
42:44
, the most important thing is do
42:46
you want to do this ?
42:47
Yeah .
42:47
Right , like if PA school costs $1
42:50
, but you really hated it are you going to do
42:52
it ? Most would say hell , no , like I ain't
42:54
going to spend a dollar to do something that I completely
42:56
hate .
42:57
Right .
42:59
Right . So I think it's really important
43:01
to always have that overarching theme of
43:03
is this really what
43:05
you want to do and this is what you
43:07
really want to do ? Then , like you said
43:09
, you can fill out the rest of the equation and find
43:11
out . Are you willing to make certain sacrifices
43:14
to make this dream come through as
43:16
well as come ? Did I say come
43:18
true ? come true , not through my bad
43:20
come true , and
43:23
how can you make this dream come true
43:25
as well as get the life
43:27
that you've always wanted ? Because , let's be honest , like
43:29
taking care of patients is great , taking
43:32
care of people in that fashion is
43:34
amazing , but also , at the same time , we won't be compensated
43:36
well for that right .
43:37
Right , absolutely . So let's be real with that . Yeah , I
43:39
think MS you know so this
43:42
I'm just going to say that
43:44
if MS does this , I
43:47
think MS will be successful
43:49
. And the reason I think and
43:51
I don't mean successful , just as a PA
43:53
you know . To complete , Keep going .
43:55
I'm going to get through this . Keep going .
43:56
To get you know , to
43:58
get through PA school . But
44:00
I think that MS will be
44:03
successful financially and the reason
44:05
that I think that is because the
44:08
work is actually being done up front
44:10
. Right , the work is being done
44:12
up front .
44:13
He's way ahead of the game if he's asking these type of
44:15
questions .
44:16
We don't know if that's a he or she .
44:18
Oh , it's a he .
44:19
It's a he sure .
44:21
I see his pictures , profile pictures .
44:23
Okay , okay , okay , because you didn't say all that I
44:26
was trying to be all neutral , was it ? Necessary ? Well
44:28
, yeah , because I didn't know if
44:30
that was a he or she . But
44:33
anyway let me finish my point
44:35
. So I think that MS
44:37
will be successful because the work
44:39
is being done up front and
44:41
it's not an afterthought . Obviously
44:43
he is educating
44:45
himself . You know very early on
44:48
in the process which a lot of people don't even
44:50
do .
44:50
They just go in blindly .
44:51
They just go in blindly . We went in blindly , and
44:54
so I Speak for yourself . We went in
44:56
blindly . Okay , mister , they
44:59
told me to pick a number and
45:02
I put maximum on my financial
45:04
aid . I didn't even put a number . It's like what .
45:06
Did you see that clip that Alfred made Maximum
45:10
?
45:10
It was true though Yo , alfred , be hitting those
45:13
clips yo , but yeah , so
45:15
good luck , you know . Let us know what you finally
45:17
do decide and
45:19
how you came to that conclusion .
45:21
Don't sleep on military scholarships
45:23
, Don't sleep on the federal
45:26
government scholarships like the what
45:28
is the health ?
45:30
National Health Service Corps . National Health Service
45:32
Corps . National Health Service Corps yes , LF and also State
45:34
.
45:35
Exactly . Do not sleep on
45:37
going to rural as well as
45:39
suburban areas where hospitals
45:42
individually will give you some type
45:44
of financial aid to make sure that
45:47
this occurs Without you having to
45:49
fork over so much of your own salary
45:51
towards your own student loan debt . You can
45:53
do this financially . You
45:55
can make this happen . Just know that there's
45:57
a whole bunch of different options out there and , like
45:59
I said , it may not align
46:02
with the dream that you've always had , but you
46:04
just may have to just kind of fine-tune it a little
46:06
bit and oftentimes you'll find out that that new dream is way
46:08
better .
46:09
Yeah , absolutely , because
46:13
you have a dream in your head but you don't know how that's really going to pan out . Like
46:15
if you had asked me if my life was going
46:17
to be like this , you know
46:19
, 20 years ago I'd be
46:21
like no way .
46:22
Yeah , you know , but I really
46:24
hope medical leaders . Here I am with you , I
46:29
should pinch you , but I wake up from this dream , right
46:31
, oh snap , or
46:34
this nightmare . But I do
46:36
hope that medical leaders are listening
46:38
to this type of listening to this episode
46:40
, because listen .
46:40
Yeah , this is a question , boy , this is a really
46:43
interesting question .
46:44
This is indicative of the times
46:46
, of what people are thinking . If you
46:49
are coming , if you're looking for people from certain
46:51
neighborhoods , from certain
46:54
demographics ?
46:55
if you're looking for underrepresented people
46:57
in medicine , these
47:01
are the questions that need to be answered . Look , that's just
47:03
what it is . Let's be plain Jane .
47:04
The majority of people who are applying to medical school
47:06
are of a certain status . These
47:09
are the people who don't need financial aid and so forth . The
47:11
stats are there . It's on the AAMC's website
47:13
. I don't know if it's on AACOM's website .
47:15
I'm not sure , but yeah , it's on AAMC
47:17
for sure .
47:18
Right , but there's a small percentage who
47:20
don't come from that
47:22
very strong position and
47:25
are using medicine as a come-up
47:27
, which is completely fine . But
47:31
when you have more and more student loan debt and you have these huge financial barriers , what
47:33
you're doing is you're closing off the
47:35
ability for these folks to apply
47:38
to school , to feel like they're welcome here . So
47:40
it's something that I think that they need to address . Yeah
47:42
, even beyond MS's question
47:45
as a physician assistant , this is something that I think that we
47:47
need to address . It's a major issue
47:49
and , ms , thank you so much for reaching
47:51
out to us . He wrote to me through
47:53
IG , okay , great . So
47:55
guys , look , it's IG . There's
47:58
text , right . Let me say the number again . Alfred
48:00
, put it on the screen 833-230-2860
48:04
. You could also email us and let us know
48:06
what's going on , and that's about
48:08
it for the show , actually . Yeah . So on the
48:10
next show , though , we're going to talk about
48:13
something about
48:15
this card right here that I
48:17
got . I'm going to read this to you . It says you
48:19
are eligible to receive a payment from
48:21
the Navient Multistate AG
48:24
Settlement . Yay , On
48:28
January 13th 2022
48:30
, our office announced a mult-state
48:32
settlement with Navient to resolve allegations
48:34
of unfair and deceptive student loan services
48:37
or servicing practices , and
48:39
practices including steering federal
48:41
loan borrowers into forbearance instead
48:43
of counseling them about income driven repayment plans . You
48:49
qualify to receive a payment of approximately .
48:53
One dollar , one dollar
48:55
.
48:56
So we're going to talk about this on the next episode . So obviously
48:58
Navient got their asses sued , class
49:00
action and people getting money .
49:02
So when you guys heard that story , but
49:04
when ?
49:04
y'all heard this story . Y'all thought we were crazy . When I
49:06
told you I was in between cases , I was in
49:08
residency , and I would say what do I need
49:11
to do to get you guys to stop calling me ? And the
49:13
number one thing they said was do forbearance
49:15
. Yes , yes , same
49:17
. Here At the time I didn't know anything else
49:19
Same . And it turned out that they
49:21
had other plans , they had other things that they could
49:23
have told us about . Yes , Same . Shame
49:27
on you , shame , shame
49:29
on you , and it's not even a joking matter . You owe us some
49:31
money , yo ? So , however amount
49:33
that they're going to say , I'm not going to say that until the next show , but
49:35
we're going to talk about that on an upcoming episode
49:37
of Docs Outside the Box . So
