Welcome to Rich Roots, where two first-gen investors—Radhika and Vibha—figure out real estate investing while juggling our corporate jobs.

A few years ago, real estate felt overwhelming—like something only the ultra-wealthy could do. We didn’t grow up around investors, and no one handed us a roadmap. But step by step, we’re learning, making mistakes, and discovering strategies that actually work. And now, we’re sharing everything so building wealth through real estate feels possible—even if you’re just getting started.

From how we took our first leap into real estate to the strategies we’re using to grow (like syndications, self-directed IRAs, and passive investing), we’re breaking it all down—wins, mistakes, and lessons we wish we’d learned sooner. We’ll also bring in guests with unique experiences and expertise so we can learn together through real stories, insights, and the kind of advice that makes real estate investing seem doable.

If you’ve ever been curious about real estate investing this podcast is for you. We’re asking the questions, sharing the lessons, and taking you behind the scenes—because if we can do it, so can you.
