About Plot Investments
Buying land is an extremely popular Indian strategy. While constructed apartments depreciate over decades due to wear, tear, and older designs, a plot of land generally appreciates forever as cities expand and infrastructure connects rural areas.
Key Risks
- Encroachment: Vacant land is highly susceptible to illegal occupation, requiring regular physical visits and compound-walling to secure.
- No Cash Flow: Land generates zero rent (unless leased for agriculture or billboards). You rely entirely on capital appreciation upon eventual sale.
- Legal Disputes: Indian land titles are often murky. Due diligence requires extensive legal background checks into inheritance registries.
