Daniel Shin, MD is the founder and managing partner of Cereus Real Estate.

He was raised on the East Coast by first generation immigrants who came to the USA in search of the American Dream. During his formative years, Daniel was taught the importance of education, hard work, and integrity.

After graduation as valedictorian of his public high school, Daniel attended Yale University where he majored in philosophy. Next, he entered medical school at the University of Pittsburgh.

Daniel's next stop was Los Angeles for residency training in urologic surgery at the University of Southern California. After almost fifteen years of higher education, Daniel started his career as a surgeon.

Although his salary was substantial, Daniel saw the majority of his income consumed by taxes and living costs. He also experienced burnout in a healthcare system that prioritized metrics over patient care. This spurred him to seek the personal and professional empowerment that only comes as a result of financial freedom. His chosen vehicle? Tax-efficient, income producing investments, AKA real estate!

He focused his investments into real estate and wrote about his journey on The Darwinian Doctor blog. There, he recorded his experience growing a portfolio of multifamily real estate investments worth over $9 million.

Now via Cereus Real Estate, he seeks to bring the opportunity of real estate investing to others. His goal is to bring our investors closer to true financial freedom while making a positive economic impact in the cities where we invest.
