The Investor's Reality Check
- Appreciation That Actually Beats Inflation
- My 2021 purchase: ₹3.2 crore
- Current market value: ₹4.8 crore (50% gain in 3 years)
- Meanwhile, my friend's "luxury" flat in South Bangalore? 22% appreciation
- Rental Income That Grows Itself
Here's my actual experience:
- Year 1 rent: ₹1.65 lakh/month
- Year 3 rent: ₹2.10 lakh/month (27% increase)
- Secret: Tech expats automatically trigger 10% annual escalation clauses
- The Safety Net Nobody Talks About
When markets crashed in 2022:
- My stocks tanked 35%
- My mutual funds bled
- My Sobha Aquamont unit? Still appreciated 8% that year
5 Insider Tips If You're Serious
- Always buy lake-facing units- they appreciate 2x faster
- Time your purchase- prices dip slightly post-monsoon
- Use builder financing- their rates often beat banks
- Hire the right interior team- I'll share my contacts
- Negotiate maintenance- possible for multiple units
