A new branded project launches in Gurgaon.
On paper, it's 36 months to possession.
On the ground, it's just a hoarding and a sales office.
But someone, let's call her Riya, books two units. Not one.
Why? โขโขโขโข
She's buying early due to ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐.
At launch, the flat costs โน1.2 crore.
Similar "ready to move" flats nearby, are going for โน1.5 crore.
That's a 20% discount, right from Day 1.
Riya books it with a staggered payment plan:
๐น10 % now
๐น30% 1st milestone
๐น30% 2nd milestone
๐น30% final payment.
No EMI yet. No loan disbursement. Just early commitment.
๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฎ ,๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐จ๐ฝ
The tower is halfway up.
The price has inched to โน1.4 crore.
Demand is growing. NRIs and HNIs enquire with the builder.
Rental brokers want to know, when handover will happen.
Riya watches quietly.
๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฏ - ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ?
Possession nears. The builder starts giving keys.
The market value of her flat is now โน1.75 crore!!
She has two options
๐ธSell the unit and book a clean โน50 lakh gain after all payments.
๐ธRent it out, earn 6% yield, and refinance against it at cheap rates.
Guess what, She does both.
Sells one, rents the other. ( she has 2 units remember)
Money that came after selling is invested into a pre-leased commercial unit near NH8. That commercial unit starts giving her 8% annual returns from Day 1.

This isn't random is a structured wealth play.
Over 7โ10 years, Riya repeats this process 3โ4 times.
Each time
โโข Buys early, before the crowd.
โโข Waits for value to unlock.
โโข Exits smartly or converts to rental income.
โโข Moves profits into high-yield commercial assets.
This was the real story for a client we have. He needs us to diversify now into equities and other liquid assets. And before you jump the gun, Read more...

How people reacted?
"Intensive capital is the key to invest into a real estate, atleast 10-15 lakhs," said one user.
"As far as I know , some smart players made huge money in the booming Mumbai market , while May lost their shirts and pants in this game , since 2000s. So it is not something new . This was aided by the game of the builder financing your emi ( many ended up paying only emi and possession was a distant dream). There was a tacit support from banks also when disbursements were made not strictly on the basis of the progress of the project , aiding the unscrupulous promoters to divert the money instead of completing the project. My expectation from a responsible advisor like you is that such products are not recommended even with warning. People tend to ignore the warning or may not even understand the same," added another user.
