On this episode of Ask The Experts, Alka explains why real estate is your choice of a career path by sharing her story about why she chose to get into real estate and why she made it a vehicle of choice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Prior to getting into the real estate business I worked in health and fitness and having a nine to five job and being in the position she was in was great, but she knew she wasn’t completely satisfied, for example creating wealth for herself and future generations.
• A lot of people are fascinated and thrilled when they go to view properties, they can imagine how it will feel to live there. Working in real estate you can get Stagers to zone particular rooms. There are four main areas where a home can be zoned: the master bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. 
• Working in real estate provides financial freedom, you can work from home or while you travel or on vacation. All you need is a laptop and a phone, so it’s very accessible and provides independence, you can tailor it to your family’s life. You are your own boss.
• You can diversify in many different directions, you can get into corporate real estate development, commercial properties, residential properties. Pay close attention to alternative career paths and there's amazing opportunities that are lying before you.
