Is Property Investment A Fair Gamble?

There are many factors that can negatively impact property investment profits, as outlined by Anuj Puri, Chairman, ANAROCK Property Consultants

Real estate investors need to be an exceptionally canny lot since various factors can negatively affect the value of one’s real estate assets. Being aware of these, and making suitable provisions and allowances for them, is an inalienable part of successful property investment. Increasing inflation is the first factor that inhibits the profitability of a real estate investment. While investing in any kind of property solely for capital appreciation, one should always consider what the overall earnings would be worth at the point in time one wishes to liquefy them. If one fails to plan for the inflationary effect, further property purchases may be out of reach.
