Recommended Real Estate Investing

Real estate investing is often the biggest wealth builder for doctors. While we are avid RE investors, we acknowledge the fact that many ODs are doctors first! Hence majority don’t want to manage their own rentals but desire a more active ROI compared to a simple Vanguard REIT fund. With that being said, we are extremely strict about who let on this recommended list; many of which require months of due diligence, interviews, meetings. As always, with any investments, please read all prospectus carefully and let us know how your experience are! Happy RE Investing! 

Real Estate Syndicators (Apartment)

New Sight Capital 


New Sight Capital was founded by optometrists Walt Whitley and Russ Beach who both understand the demands a busy career puts on your time and your ability to grow your wealth.  As an optometrist, you've worked hard for your prosperity, and you want to enjoy life to the fullest with your loved ones. While investing in apartments can yield stable cash flow and growth of capital, it can be labor intensive. That’s where New Sight Capital comes in. We present our investors with private opportunities to invest in apartments through syndications, and we take care of all the work involved. The result is quarterly cash payouts and the growth of your invested capital over the life cycle of the syndication–with no loss of your time or energy.

What is an apartment syndication?  Quite simply, it's the pooling of collective capital from multiple investors for the purpose of acquiring apartment real estate that would otherwise be reserved to institutional investors.  This allows smaller investors access to all the benefits without the work.  In addition to cash flow and equity growth, apartment syndications have considerable tax benefits due to the power of accelerated depreciation.   As limited partners, investors also are shielded from operation-associated liabilities.

  • Note: Due to compliance regulations, an initial registration is required prior to REI offerings

Director of Operations

Russ started his own private optometry practice in Virginia Beach, VA in 2008. In 2013, he joined with partners to acquire Coastal Vision. Russ spearheaded the growth of Coastal Vision into one of the largest private optometric practices in Virginia with 4 locations. After increasing gross revenue by 100%, Coastal Vision was then sold to Keplr Vision in 2020, allowing Russ more freedom and resources to pursue his passion in helping others grow their personal wealth through multifamily real estate investing. Russ also has a strong passion for providing pro bono eye care and glasses to local homeless and underserved populations, and he makes charity work the biggest reason for his own financial growth.  In 2021, he began the application process to create a non-profit foundation, called The Mathew 6:22 Project, which will provide free eye care to homeless and children in poverty in eastern Virginia.

When we started New Sight Capital, we set out on a mission to share the unique opportunity of apartment investing with our fellow optometrists. The challenge: not many ODs have ever heard of apartment syndications. In short, an apartment syndication is the pooling of collective capital from investors in order to acquire an apartment complex that would normally be reserved to larger, institutional investors. Although syndications have been around for years, they’ve typically been an instrument of very wealthy or well-connected accredited investors. We are setting out to change that by bringing syndications directly to the optometric community.
