Investing in real estate can be a far better choice than buying stocks and bonds. Unlike bond or stock buying, the potential buyer of real estate can make use of leverage and buy property by paying only a part of the total cost and then paying the rest in EMIs.
A great way to invest in real estate in India and earn money from it is by investing in a rental property and putting it on rent. It ensures regular income. According to the RICS-Knight Frank Report, about 30% of people live in rented houses.
People who have experience in real estate marketing, valuation, and renovation can do house flipping.
The investment is made via online platforms that are also called real estate crowdfunding. Online real estate investing platforms aim to join small investors in bigger commercial or residential deals.
People who desire to have rental real estate and don’t want to bother themselves about running it can opt for Real Estate Investment Groups or REIGs. It is similar to mutual funds and is a company that either builds or buys a set of apartment blocks and then lets investors purchase them.
A real estate investment trust or REITs is an option for those wanting portfolio exposure rather than a real estate transaction. The best thing about REITs is that they are highly liquid. Investors earn from this option without having to actually buy or manage any property.
Investing in real estate in India may seem daunting for someone new to real estate investing. However, with the right developer and guidance, this sector is a magnet for financial gains for investors.
