Taking Home Loan for Investment in Flat – Is it good idea?

POSTED BY harry.scorpion ON May 2, 2014 10:18 am COMMENTS (4)

Is it a good idea to take a home loan to invest in a flat. The only intention is to sell the flat later. Do not intend to stay there.

Thinking of taking 80 % as loan.

Salary – 60 K per month. No other source of income.

Flat price – 35 lakh.

    Thanks guys.
    I was expecting to keep the flat for 5-7 years.

    Lets say you buy the flat at 35L and are able to clear the loan in 5 years (optimistic)

    House cost – 35L
    Interest Paid – 15L
    Total invested – 50L

    Do you think after 5 years you will be able to sell the house at least for 60-65L to make a profit of at least 10% after paying LT or ST capital gains? Rental income will give you only 2-3% returns.

    If you don’t see property price appreciating that much, its better to invest in mutual funds, PPF, equities etc.

    Thanks
