Ekta Kapoor Shares Real Estate Lessons for Building Wealth
Ekta Kapoor talked about how her family thinks about money and property.
She said her father started a real estate business when he was 65.
His approach was to save money before investing it.
He first put some money in a fixed deposit and later invested in land.
Kapoor said owning a home can give people a place to live and may also produce rental income.
She also said buyers should consider the rent they avoid paying when they compare a home with other investments.
Her view is that real estate can help families build and preserve wealth.
The article also cautions that investors should think about access to their money and avoid relying too heavily on one kind of investment.
Ekta Kapoor said her father, Jeetendra Kapoor, began a real estate business at age 65.
She described his approach as saving money first, then investing some of it in fixed deposits and land.
Kapoor said property ownership can provide a home, a sense of belonging and potential rental income.
She argued that homebuyers should count rent saved alongside any increase in a property's value.
Kapoor called real estate a safe investment, while the article notes investors should consider liquidity and diversification.
