Property Investment in India: Understanding Returns Beyond Price Appreciation
Many Indian families view property as a key financial asset, expecting wealth growth through buying and selling real estate. However, property investment returns depend on factors like rental yield, expenses, taxes, inflation, and market conditions. Rental yields in India typically range from 1.5% to 4%, often reduced by maintenance and vacancies. Property appreciation varies by location and timing, and buying or selling incurs additional costs. Thus, property is not automatically a profitable investment and requires careful financial consideration.
