Hi!
I am Ankur, an Engineer with a government firm, a typical salaried person. I earn enough to make others envy. I purchased a flat for investment purposes back in 2015. It had a loan component of 27.8 Lakh INR and it was my first house. As young and uneducated I was, I liked the investment for first few years as it generated a decent amount of rent. I lived happily till one day stock market crashed. It was a totally unrelated phenomenon. However, what that did to me was it made me curious about personal finance. Long story short, I enrolled with a public school, made 4 times the fortune compared to market returns and also started looking forward to become financially independent much before the age of retirement.
It was then, that I made my asset and liability statement all by myself and reached onto a few conclusions. To avoid boring you further with details, I am listing my findings here for you all, the readers.
- Back in 2015, I had purchased a flat which was giving me 10500 in rent per month. While it was taking away 26644 per month. It was a net loss of 16144 per month. Six years later, I am earning 8500 and paying still 26644, making a loss of 18644 per month.
- Refinancing will help me achieve an emi of 14800 and net loss of 6300 per month.
- I recently shifted to a new city, looking for pan-country real estate now. 1 year back, I got opportunity to take 18L laon with expected yeild of 12K per month and 13892. It would have become an asset from 4th year, given the rent increases 10% per year.
- I recently started a sidekick which took away 18000 from me and has given me 24000 even in the pandemic year. Effectively it has put 500 per month into my pockets.
- May not be the best shape yet, still on the way to financial recovery.
