REITs vs Property: Where should you invest?

• Follow

Niranjan Hiranandani, Co-Founder and MD of the Hiranandani Group in an exclusive interaction with Money9 talks about why this is a good time to invest in property. He said that with home loan rates operating at 7% or below, people should seriously consider buying a house at the moment because these rates might not stay at these levels for long. He also said that it’s a good time to buy property as an investment as well, with enough and more completed projects available.

Hiranandani explained different ways in which people can invest in property in the current scenario, with the options of REITs and InvITs also available to investors today.

“REITs & InvITs are good investment avenues for investors with a small corpus of funds and are looking at a short-term investment horizon of 3-5 years. Indian REITs have performed well since their launch a couple of years ago. The top realtor believes that the demand hit to office realty due to the Pandemic induced Work-From-Home policies will not have a negative impact on all 3 Indian REITs that are focused only on Office properties,” the co-founder at Hiranandani Group explained.
