Investment in a Small home in main Mumbai or a big one close to the rim

Remi Investment Post

Main Mumbai

Advantages

  1. Lower Risk investment due to the supply-demand dynamics and long-term historic data that has shown steady capital appreciation in key areas over time
  2. Proximity to the established commercial centers
  3. Proximity to reputed educational institutes and hospitals
  4. Assurance of the availability of basic utilities such as water, electricity etc
  5. Proximity to the ‘original’ city of Mumbai and its key tourist attractions
  6. Ownership of properties is typically seen to elevate the social and financial status of occupants. However, key areas in the western and central suburbs also now tend to have a similar impact on the social and financial status of inhabitants

Disadvantages

  1. Limited space/square foot area per apartment/dwelling unit
  2. Older buildings with a large number of apartments under rent control
  3. A number of buildings don’t have the modern amenities which come with purchasing a property in the newer developments/construction projects
  4. Limited open spaces
  5. Low to no parking space across residential developments/areas
  6. Limited availability of land at reasonable rates for affordable housing projects

Peripheral Mumbai

Advantages

  1. More space by way of additional square foot area available for the same purchase budget
  2. Newer developments/complexes with modern amenities
  3. The propensity for a high return on investment on properties bought in high potential areas/neighborhoods as the epicenter of the city moves northwards
  4. Land availability for Affordable Housing Developments

Disadvantages

  1. Distance from key commercial hubs, reputed educational institutes and hospitals
  2. Higher risk investment as a result of the investment in newer areas/neighbourhoods with limited historic data available on their capital appreciation
  3. A requirement for improved connectivity and infrastructure including access to basic utilities such as water/electricity across these newer/peripheral areas
