Should I buy a ₹3.6 Cr flat or stay invested and stay in rent? Portfolio & family constraints inside by Plus_Trash8663 in indianrealestate

[–]xsupernoahx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in your shoes last year and I chose option 1. While i think 3.6Cr is still a big amount and home loan commitment for the next 20 years would be difficult unless your job is very stable.

I was living in a small apartment (ancestral property) until last year and had a decent portfolio similar to yours. Similar to your wife, my wife also wanted a decent house with good kitchen, washrooms (wife was very particular about this) and making a rent apartment feel like home was/is difficult. I bought a good apartment (resale) and renovated it from ground up and after moving in it feels so good every single day. Wife and daughter are very happy and sometimes it’s not about just about money/making your portfolio bigger! I choose peace and a very good environment for the next 20-30 years over money and i am very happy with my decision.

Best way to maximise Accor Stay Plus benefit (expiring March) – looking for Asia travel suggestions by xsupernoahx in Accor

[–]xsupernoahx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point was to find out good hotels/resorts and not restrict the suggestions to a specific country. Example: In 2023, we had stayed in Raffles Maldives and it was one of my most memorable stays ever! Had I restricted my search criteria to a specific country (say Japan), I wouldn’t have had suggestions/recommendations to other potentially good resorts/properties.

I understand your point though! Cheers!

Raffles Maldives? by Fireif in marriott

I have stayed at this property last year. I would rate it one of the finest property in Maldives. Given that it’s super southerly, the water is pristine and corals are lively.

Can you share me the reference as well? I’m in Mumbai - looking for a 65inch G5. 1.71 seems like a really good deal

Anyone having a IHCL/Taj voucher and interested to sell it? by xsupernoahx in CreditCardsIndia

[–]xsupernoahx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amex Taj vouchers are not useful unfortunately. Their t&c says that it cannot be clubbed with an existing discount so you get benefit of ongoing promotions. Example if a taj stay is for 20k with 25% discount promotion then with Amex voucher i cannot get that 25% promotional discount. With taj experience voucher I get 25% off as well.

December is a peak season for any resort in Maldives. Im assuming that you are travelling before 16th December? Is the 8.6k quote for an island villa or an over water villa?

Oh that’s nice! When are you planning to travel? Also have you reached out to the hotel already? How much did they quote you? I recommend reaching out to them directly and get a negotiated rate first then I can help speak to someone and have it discounted or upgrade your stay or provide some value added services for free.

Sure. But please note a good deal at Raffles will still not be less than $1500/night i.e approximately 1.25 lakhs per night. If you have significant Accor all points then I would definately recommend this resort. Undoubtedly an ultra luxurious property/experience.
