A lifestyle blog following my journey as a physician-scientist, real estate investor, and mother.
This summer has just flown by and I can’t believe I’ve already finished the first week of my second year of medical school! I wanted to take some time to share what I’ve been up to this summer.

Here’s how closing day went. The Walkthrough We did our final walkthrough at 9am the day of closing. We were initially planning to do it the day before, but the upstairs tenant was not available. Getting the first floor apartment cleaned out could […]
Do you ever feel like you’re stuck? Like you can’t move forward? That’s how I feel now. We were supposed to close on our house a few weeks ago. Yet here we are, still house-less. We haven’t been able to set up a new closing date since we are waiting for the sellers to finish some elements of the contract. Now this is all good and well. I mean, I completely understand why we put […]
