I live in the city of dreams, Mumbai💫
My flat costs ₹7 Crores but I pay just ₹1.5 Lakhs in rent
Buying it on EMI would've costed me ₹5 Lakhs p.m. even after paying ₹1.4 Crores in down payment🤯
Here's why I won't buy a house🧵👇
[1] Rent is not burnt
Rather than buying, if I invest:
🔶₹1.4 Cr of Down-Payment and
🔶₹3.5L (EMI less Rent) p.m
say, in Nifty 50 Index Fund which gets me 12% p.a. for next 20 yrs?
I'll have ₹48.13 Cr🤯
Even if flat grows at 7% p.a., it'll be worth ₹27 Cr📉
[2] Buy a Home after having FIRE score
How much money you need to never ever worry about money?
Me: ₹6 Crores!
At 10% growth I get 60L p.a
I need 30L a year to live the dream life and another 30L reinvested to match 5% inflation
After 20 yrs, I can have that house + ₹20Cr
[3] Disproportionate Asset Allocation
If I buy a house worth ₹7 Crores today,
Most of my net worth will be allocated in a flat
A flat is generally a laggard in terms of capital appreciation
What for? Saving just ~2% per year?
[4] Is it just about the EMIs?
Did you forget that buying a house comes with:
🔶Registry [4-7%]
🔶Brokerage [1-2%]
🔶Heavy & recurring repair & maintenance
🔶Annual Property Taxes
and what not!
[5] More clarity over which city to live
Right now, I am in Mumbai because of my work
What if I feel like shifting to Goa?🏖️ Or say, Manali?🏔️
Buying a house will lock me not just emotionally but financially as well
It might make more sense to buy a house in 40s
I appreciate that some of you might have very strong personal reasons to buy a house and I respect that
Just that, financially it might make more sense to defer this choice!
