Real Estate Investment
- Real estate falls under one of the major
investment hubs that one looks for. At the same
time a house, apartment or a property is a place
to live in and is a life time investment of
oneself with ones life time savings as well. - To sell the house that one lives in is often the
last option that one has in search of liquidity.
In this stance let us evaluate real estate as an
option of investment.

- The house one lives is considered to be cash
flow negative which means that instead of
generating income and liquidity it requires money
to maintain it. - If you talk about rent generating capacity it is
actually half the amount of EMI that the house or
a property generates. One may argue that the
capital appreciation and the value is also there.
- In case of land or any other assets like gold
that is not there. You cant income keeping the
asset to generate or increase in value at the
same time.

- In case of properties bought on loan the catching
up of the earnings over costs happen only when
the loan amount is closed and the entire loan is
repaid. - If you take an investment in a flat or an
apartment from an income perspective this is
perhaps what the situation turns out to be. - Let us suppose that you buy a 1000 sq. ft. of an
apartment in one of the Tier II cities which will
be around Rs. 2, 500 per sq. ft. This will lead
to the house costing about Rs. 25, 00, 000.

- If you procure a loan of Rs. 20 lakhs which is 80
percent of the amount and the loan tenure is for
15 years the EMI that you have to pay is Rs.
20,300. - But on contrast to that the rental price in these
cities may even cross a limit of Rs. 10, 000
which is virtually lesser than half of the EMI. - If it is assumed that your rental income
increases at a rate of 5 percent each year the
rent will equal the EMI on the fourteenth year
and the loan tenure is of 15 years.

- Another aspect that needs to be considered while
calculating the income generating potential of a
property is that any property has maintenance and
especially the apartments which also grows year
on year. - Thus considering all these it can be said that a
fully paid property can only be an income
generating asset and before that it is a
liability.One thing that needs to be kept in mind
is that the property does appreciate in value and
that can only be used or encashed when the
property is sold. - In common parlance the selling of the property is
generally the last option that one has which one
may have to do for liquidity. But this is also
true that capital appreciation is also a point of
advantage and becomes a favourable factor when
one obtains a loan on mortgage of a property.
From this perspective capital appreciation is
one of the positive factors that houses and
apartments offer.

- This is also not true that the value of the
properties only appreciates and they never
depreciate. On the contrary the economic turmoil
of the current times is because of the drop of
the real estate prices on a global scale more
than expectation. - Real estate does appreciate in prices but capital
appreciation is of value when the property is
sold. The value can also be tapped by the
mortgage of the property. - The house that we use for dwelling purpose is not
able to generate income and it has a negative
cash flow.Rent is a stable income but in most
cases it is not the same as the EMI and much
lesser but it is profitable only when the loan is
closed or repaid.

capital appreciation is one of the positive
factors that houses and apartments offer. - The next comes the mid income segment of housing
which is again driven by the IT and the ITeS
sector employees. - But the west on the other hand has not been so
successful in attracting high end realty
apartments or villas mainly due to the
infrastructure bottlenecks. This area is mainly
the industrial hub of the town with of course
many residential areas popping up in the last
decade or so.
