3 Value Bombs

1. Wealth is a percentage, not a number. True wealth is how much of your week you spend doing what you love—not your net worth.

2. Real estate is a freedom strategy. Time-starved professionals can use real estate not as a side hustle, but as a methodical path to reclaim time and reduce dependency on traditional income.

3. Avoid rookie mistakes. The biggest pitfalls for high-income professionals investing in real estate? Lack of basic education, fear-based inaction, and trusting unqualified people.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: The Surgical Investor: Prescribing Lifestyle Freedom through Real Estate with Vasu Kakarlapudi

True wealth is measured by time freedom, not just net worth. Inspired by Warren Buffett, he introduces the concept of a “Freedom Score.”

Real estate diversifies income, builds equity, and has major tax advantages. Vasu calls it “the next smartest move” for time-starved professionals.
