Episode Details

In this episode of Doctors Investor Club, I sit down with Gabriel Virdaru — founder of Fortuna CPA, real estate investor, and former professional soccer player — to unpack how physicians and dentists can strategically reduce taxes, leverage real estate, and build long-term wealth. From ASC surgery center investments to short-term rentals and real estate professional status, Gabriel shows us the overlooked opportunities that can save doctors six figures annually while creating legacies that last.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why ASC (Ambulatory Surgery Center) income creates hidden passive tax opportunities
• How limited partner syndications can offset passive income without a “second job”
• The difference between Real Estate Professional (REPS) status and the short-term rental strategy
• Common mistakes doctors make when chasing tax loopholes
• How grouping elections under Section 469 can unlock suspended losses
• Why short-term rentals are now a hospitality business, not just an Airbnb side hustle
• The importance of aligning your CPA, financial advisor, and strategist into one “family office” ecosystem
