I'm a physician in the US (pediatrician). I own my own practice and do fairly well. I love what I do.

But over the last 8 years, I have also slowly been buying (and renting) real estate.

I have continued to live on my usual salary and I haven't told a soul about this side gig. No one around me knows. I just keep going to clinic and seeing patients.

I bought the first rental property as a tax-saving strategy but just kind of kept going. As of today if I sold everything, I would net $6 million. I'm 44 years old.

I'm proud of it. I enjoy my work so I'll keep doing it. I don't want anyone around me to know.
