Summary

Vasu Kakarlapudi helps physicians achieve holistic wellness and financial freedom, investing alongside them through Apta. With surgical precision and 20 plus years of real estate success, he leads by example beyond medicine.

Top 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.
