How Smart Indian Investors Are Profiting in Real Estate
Some investors in India are making a lot of money in real estate by being smart about it.
Instead of just buying homes, they buy properties early, before they're finished.
They then sell them for more money later.
They also rent out some properties to earn income.
By doing this, they can make a lot more money than by investing in other things.
This is similar to playing chess, as it involves planning and making strategic decisions.
Strategic real estate investors achieve 18-22% internal rates of return (IRR) by investing early.
Investors purchase properties early, often in under-construction or pre-launch phases.
They sell some properties for profit as possession nears, generating gains.
Remaining properties are rented to generate income, with yields around 6%.
Sale proceeds are invested in pre-leased commercial properties with immediate returns.
