How Is Buying A Plot/House In India Better Than Investing In Mutual Funds/Shares? If you grew up in a middle class Indian household, you truly know what having a home to call your own means. It is with land that people associate wealth, security and pride. Talking about history and ancestors, the landlords were always considered above everyone else because of the sheer amount of land they possessed. While a lot has changed over the past few decades, that status quotient associated with real estate
still remains the same. So if you are confused between investing in a plot or piece of land vs mutual funds or equity, your answer is obvious and straightforward. But still, if you are not convinced, read further. Why Real Estate? Since the past 5 decades, the price of land in India has only gone up. During early 2000s, land prices in the tricity shot up like anything. As a result, many became millionaires overnight. Having your own home or an extra plot is a fixed asset and something which can be encashed anyday. Moreover, you possess it. Nobody can take it away from you, come what may. Why not Shares/Mutual Funds?
While mutual funds and stock investments are good if you are investing a smaller amount of money, they don’t come without their risks. The value may increase and multiply manifold or it might as well decrease and depreciate. It’s always dicey in an ever- changing and dynamic market. Furthermore, in case of mutual funds, all you have with you are some papers, which hold no value unless you encash them. On the other hand, in case of real estate, you can make use of that land/plot. Real Estate is Safe Probably, shares would pay you more if you put in the same amount of money and wait for 10 years. Real estate comes with the assurance that no matter what, prices would
not drop anything below the price you bought it for. Things You Can Do With an Empty Plot Even if it’s an empty plot, with no construction at all, you can make money out of it. Furnish it slightly, make a garden and ta- da, put it on airbnb for rentals. You can rent out your property for a day , let’s say for corporate meetings, small wedding functions, outdoor birthday parties or outdoor movie nights. Being in the tricity, you can easily charge 10-15k per day. Let’s say you manage to host some guests only twice a month. Even then extra 30k wouldn’t hurt. Now, what if it’s a semi-furnished or furnished flat
A decent looking flat or a house sells for 3k-4k per night on airbnb. Imagine making extra 30- 40k a month. Even if you don’t want to put it on airbnb, you can also just rent it out the traditional way and still expect at least 20k a month. Verdict With the advent of technology and with existing space crunch, people need to rent out space every now and then, so if you can afford one, invest in real estate. Not only is it a fixed asset, it’s value is bound to increase over the years. Furthermore, you can also make passive income out of it. Anybody who invested in Navi Mumbai, Thane, Ghaziabad and Noida in the 1980s is now sitting on a gold mine. It’s time that pastures are green in areas in and around tricity. Return of
Investment is almost guaranteed. In fact, investing in the tricity has become easier with Bdesk and its consultants working round the clock for your convenience. While stock market and shares require daily attention, you can rest assured here that your investment is safe and sound. It’s like feeding a hen which will lay golden eggs for you.
