No rentHigh appreciationLegal risk

What to Check (Legal & Technical)

  • 30-year title chain, encumbrance, RERA (if applicable)
  • Zoning, conversion (NA approvals), master plan road widening
  • Access road width, utility availability, topography & flooding

Value Triggers

  • Expressways/Metro lines, IT parks, SEZs, airport corridors
  • Institutional clusters (universities, hospitals)

Exit Planning

Expect 7–10 years. Subdivide legally where allowed; keep documentation updated. Avoid disputed survey numbers.

Pros

  • Low holding cost, potentially outsized gains with infra upgrades

Cons

  • Very illiquid; litigation risk; no income

Education only; not investment advice. Real estate is illiquid and location-specific; do independent due diligence.
