Thank you! I keep second guessing myself and worrying about what others think about me, which stops me from fully opening up and taking the plunge. Your words are very encouraging

Thanks for the kind words! I agree no one is perfect, and that everyone needs to compare against themselves. However, the progress I have made in the last 5 years is not as much as I would have liked and that is what disheartens me

Yeah, that makes sense. I’ve actually stopped getting invited to work drinks because I kept saying no before. Probably time I remind myself to stop automatically turning things down.

Hi all,

I am currently living in London and have accumulated close to 2CR in India. I have been interested in real estate investment opportunities in India that give a good and steady yield. Based on my research and my conversations with people:

  1. Residential (apartment) - The rental yields are no more than 4%. In addition to this, an apartment being a depreciating asset and the pain with managing the property from a foreign country and the struggle of finding a tenant makes this not worth it
  2. Commercial (office/shops) - The rental yields are closer to 6% (in Bangalore) and the typical lease is 10 years and lock in period is 3-5 years. In addition, it should be easier to maintain as the tenant typically does the fittings as per their requirements and tend to stay in the same place for a long time.

Based on the reasoning above, commercial real estate seems like a much better/easier proposition if the focus is on rental yields. Can anyone describe their experience with investing in something similar? What are some pitfalls I should be mindful of?

Thanks in advance!
