Rich Driscoll is an optometrist, real estate investor, and syndicator. With nearly 35 years as an optometrist and 20 years of experience in the real estate industry, Rich has come to appreciate the many advantages inherent in real estate investing.

 

Starting his commercial real estate career as a limited partner, Rich invested in other developers’ real estate deals. Soon after, he started developing his own real estate deals, introducing those investment opportunities to others as limited partners. 

 

Rich has always been interested in real estate as a long-term investment. Real estate provided a way to stabilize the portfolio, providing long-term passive income with substantial tax advantages.

 

Having weathered numerous recessions with a commercial real estate portfolio Rich discovered that multi-family real estate (apartment buildings) was a much safer, stable investment.

 

Now his mission is to help other people diversify their portfolios with passive real estate investments such as apartment buildings, self-storage facilities, and mobile home communities, making them less reliant on their medical practices as their primary income source. As Rich says “We have to find a way to broaden our income streams, reducing our dependence on the sale of our practice to help fund our retirement”

​

Rich is the author of An Eye Doctor Answers: Explanations To Hundreds Of The Most Common Questions Patients Wish They Had Asked a book used to educate patients on the most common eye conditions.
