We Indians are big time real estate investors. We look for almost every opportunity, property and schemes to invest our small finances. With our rich history providing enough proof that even kings and kingdoms fought against each other over land and property, real estate seems to be one of the best investment options ever. However, you need to know about every nick and niche related to real estate investment in India before you dive into it to earn profits.

So, here are tips and simplified steps to help you invest in the Indian Real Estate market.

1. Patience is the Key: When you indulge yourself into real estate investment, you need to hold on to your patience more than ever. Stay calm, see the property leisurely and take steps slowly. Never rush into investing your finances without a proper research.

2. Research: Plan and research thoroughly before you invest. Always remember, real estate values and profits depend a lot on the city, location, environment and the condition of the infrastructure. Better the location and infrastructure, better will be your profits. A good location includes your direct access to some of the most important amenities of our daily life. For instance, commutation, shops, gardens, market, etc. are all small factors that need to be considered while researching for a property investment in India.

3. Background and Paper Check: One of the most important steps you need to consider when planning to invest in the real estate market is to follow a thorough background check of the property, property owners and its papers. Take help of your legal experts to pull off information about the property and assess the documents for any forgery or issues to avoid controversies and scams. Make sure the property is clean without any legal issues.

4. Check and Compare rates: Once the previous pointers have been considered and checked, it is time to study and compare the rates of the property. Get help of evaluators to check the value of the property and the infrastructure to ensure you get a good deal. Cross check the value with other sources to get the best rates. You may also take help from the Local Government for guidance to know about the real value of the property.  

5. Calculate your Savings: Evaluate your savings before you plan to go ahead with the investment. Calculating your savings will only help you plan for your loans, the bank interests and hence the risk of your investment. Make sure your pocket allows you to make the investment without any risks to your regular life.

6. Consider all related Risks: Every investment has certain risk factors. Same is the case in the real estate investment market. In India, legal issues and internal land disputes are highly common. Also, it is wise to take help of the city council to check with the city expansion strategies to make sure the property and its location do not intervene with the city's future plans. Consider going through these matters before you make a final decision while investing in the Indian Real Estate.
