The last time I wrote here, I was planning to make yet another Apartment. Unlike last time this one is under construction, which is a move away from my usual recommendation to always go for ready construction. I’ve listed my reasons in the previous article for taking the plunge with an under-construction property. It’s a reputed construction company and the […]

How I Paid Off My Home Loan and Embraced Living Fully
It’s been a while since I last shared an update here, and for good reason. Over the past year, I’ve undergone significant progress in my financial journey, and it’s a journey worth sharing. In my previous post, I mentioned my intention to pay off my home loan within the next two months. Surprisingly, I managed to achieve this goal even […]

Happy Diwali to my readers who celebrate it. I am typing this from the comfort of my parents’ house. It’s been great to meet family and cousins after a long time. The last time I shared an update, I was unemployed and in the process of interviewing. The good news is, I got the job and it’s been 4 months […]
read moreNew Life Update
In my last two articles, I did mention that I was expecting some new changes in my life. You can guess from the lack of updates on this blog. Thankfully the process has been completed. I feel relieved that it’s done. Since I’m blogging anonymously, I don’t want to share these changes as anyone would figure out my identity. However, […]

Earlier this year I bought an apartment as an investment. Honestly, I still can’t believe it. If you’d asked me few years ago I would have called you crazy and how! However, perspective changes and once you get the taste of real estate it’s difficult to stop lol. My earlier plan was to rent out the apartment by April this […]

Over the weekend, I read through Set For Life by Scott Trench. If you’re active on Biggerpockets you already know of Scott. He runs Biggerpockets and also has an amazing podcast on real estate. I got interested in Biggerpockets podcast back when I was purchasing my first property. Of course a lot of what they discuss doesn’t apply for us […]

I dread writing this report — Last month was damn hell expensive. I took two short trips and started with some house renovation work. The contractor we’ve hired has been working on breakneck speed but that comes at a price. He doesn’t consult before making decisions such as title we want to use etc. It’s getting to a point that […]

Oh boy! What a last few weeks. After days of following up with the bank on the loan and then paying taxes to the government followed up by dealing with the developer, I finally have the keys to my apartment. Yay 🥳 I’ll be honest, I didn’t face as many issues with this purchase as my last purchase all because […]
read moreLandlording Strategy to Wealth
I recently read an article at AffordAnything by Paula Pant and it really hit home. It spoke about having an investment strategy for real estate investments. Turns out I bought the property but I didn’t have an investment strategy or even a plan. I bought the property that I personally wouldn’t mind staying in because that’s the plan — In […]
read moreSavings Update – Feb 2021
Last month has been way more work than I’d imagine for I’m purchasing a new apartment. I almost forgot how much work it is to follow up with the builder, agent and, the bank. To be honest the process is yet to complete and I’m yet to get the handover. Least excited about the paperwork but I’m hopeful that I’ll […]
