In a detailed LinkedIn post, Sujith highlighted how India's emerging affluent are increasingly turning to early-stage property investments to outperform traditional assets. 'While mutual fund investors cheer a 12% CAGR over a decade, someone like Riya is silently clocking 18–22% IRR by compounding in hard assets,' he wrote, sharing insights from a real client case study.

On the ground, it's just a hoarding and a sales office. But someone, let's call her Riya, books two units. Not one. Why? •••• She's buying early due to 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁. At launch, the flat costs ₹1.2 crore. Similar "ready to move" flats nearby, are going for ₹1.5 crore. That's a 20% discount, right from Day 1. Riya books it with a staggered payment plan: 🔹10 % now 🔹30% 1st milestone 🔹30% 2nd milestone 🔹30% final payment. No EMI yet. No loan disbursement. Just early commitment. 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟮 ,𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗨𝗽 The tower is halfway up. The price has inched to ₹1.4 crore. Demand is growing. NRIs and HNIs enquire with the builder. Rental brokers want to know, when handover will happen. Riya watches quietly. 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟯 - 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱? Possession nears. The builder starts giving keys. The market value of her flat is now ₹1.75 crore!! She has two options 🔸Sell the unit and book a clean ₹50 lakh gain after all payments. 🔸Rent it out, earn 6% yield, and refinance against it at cheap rates. Guess what, She does both. Sells one, rents the other. ( she has 2 units remember) Money that came after selling is invested into a pre-leased commercial unit near NH8. That commercial unit starts giving her 8% annual returns from Day 1. --------- This isn't random is a structured wealth play. Over 7–10 years, Riya repeats this process 3–4 times. Each time ●• Buys early, before the crowd. ●• Waits for value to unlock. ●• Exits smartly or converts to rental income. ●• Moves profits into high-yield commercial assets. This was the real story for a client we have. He needs us to diversify now into equities and other liquid assets.

How people reacted? "Intensive capital is the key to invest into a real estate, atleast 10-15 lakhs," said one user. "As far as I know , some smart players made huge money in the booming Mumbai market , while May lost their shirts and pants in this game , since 2000s. So it is not something new . This was aided by the game of the builder financing your emi ( many ended up paying only emi and possession was a distant dream). There was a tacit support from banks also when disbursements were made not strictly on the basis of the progress of the project , aiding the unscrupulous promoters to divert the money instead of completing the project. My expectation from a responsible advisor like you is that such products are not recommended even with warning. People tend to ignore the warning or may not even understand the same," added another user.
