A major reason why we even started operations in India came from a personal requirement. We were trying to figure out how to invest our funds in India, so we looked at Apartments, Villas, and Office Spaces but every time we looked at something, it was always mired with all kinds of downside consequences. Again, we don’t want this taken in the wrong way, but the risk-reward ratio was just not there. It’s completely night and day in terms of profit margins and the types of protection offered in the U.S. and we felt that this is truly a gap in the market for Indians or NRIs looking to invest capital while sitting in India. Although fractional real estate investment has been picking up steam in India recently, we feel like there is an over-dependence on office buildings.

We do believe that every Indian investor should have a portion of their investable net worth in investments backed by U.S. real estate. It certainly makes sense, especially in these times of high inflation, geo-political issues and volatile equity markets, given that the U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve currency. The cost of capital in India is way higher when compared to the US. With the supply of ready properties in India being high combined with higher interest rates, the chances of making wealth as an investor in India are bleak.
