Then, what will be an option for those who are looking for a potential investment, which is ever appreciating but risk- free? The answer is real estate. Let’s see how you can invest in real estate with a minimum initial investment.
Let’s assume, you’ve shortlisted an apartment, worth one crore. Your down payment will be Rs. 25 lakh. Usually, banks or other housing finance companies will provide you up to 75 percent of the loan amount. In effect, you have owned a property worth one crore with Rs. 25 lakh, which is an ever-appreciating asset.
It is a proven fact that the value of real estate investment will increase over time. For example, the launch price of Skyline Springfield Villa at Cochin was Rs. 12 lakh, it has now appreciated to Rs. 2.1 crore. Likewise, the launch price of Skyline Palm Meadows Villas at Kottayam was Rs. 29.8 lakh, it has appreciated to Rs. 1.42 crore. Another project at Calicut, Skyline Medows, was priced at Rs.7.5 lakh during its launch; it has now appreciated to Rs.1.05 crores.
