Interview with Dr. Alex Schloe – 412

In this week’s episode, Dr. Alex Schloe describes the best real estate investment for physicians. He begins by recounting how he started investing in real estate during residency. Then he explains why residential assisted living (RAL) has become a focus of his portfolio as he transitions out of military service.

What began with a single property and a physician loan has grown into eight care homes that offer meaningful work and long-term returns.

We discuss the differences between RAL and traditional care facilities, the rising demand for senior housing, and how physicians can begin exploring this space while continuing their clinical careers.

What Makes Residential Assisted Living the Best Real Estate to Invest In

Unlike the institutional facilities most physicians encounter in practice, RAL offers a smaller, more home-like setting with much better caregiver-to-resident ratios. These environments often lead to stronger relationships, improved care quality, and better health outcomes.

Instead of complex fee structures and expensive buy-ins, most offer simple, all-inclusive monthly pricing that’s more affordable than traditional alternatives.

How Physicians Can Invest

Dr. Schloe outlines four entry points into the market, ranging from owning both the property and the business to hands-off syndication options. For those seeking high returns, full ownership can yield strong monthly cash flow, while lease-to-operator models function like reliable, high-performing rentals.

With their clinical backgrounds, ability to assess care quality, and access to tax advantages such as depreciation, physicians are well-positioned to make the most of these investments.
