Hi Various components required to calculate ROI such as Purchase price, loan terms, appreciation rate, taxes, expenses and other factors must be considered when you evaluate a real estate investment.
Let us take one example to understand the calculation of ROI in property:
Divide your investment into different part:
1. Purchase: Purchase price, Market Value,Cash invested,Depreciable value
2. Debt:- "Interest-Only" Loan? (Y/N), Loan amount , Interest rate (0% to 40%), Term, Closing costs.
3. Income:: Gross rental income, Income frequency, Annual rent increases,Occupancy Rate
4. Expenses:: Annual property tax, Annual insurance, Annual maintenance, Annual HOA, Annual increase in expenses
5. Other Information: Duration of analysis
Hi In fixed deposit, we get fixed rate, i.e. 9 to 9.5% per yrs and it is not risky investment, but when we talk about real estate investment it totally depend upon market sentiment or market growth, sometimes one gets more that expected return or some time one have to wait and watch for a good time.
some of the common mistakes made by almost everyone:
1.Investing in an endowment insurance policy / PPF / FD or RD. The returns would be pathetic and you would have blocked much needed funds to plan for better things in life
2.Buying everything (Bikes, Cars, Home Appliances, iPads, iPhones, ... ) by taking loans. You will keep paying EMIs to repay these loan and may never have any surplus for proper investments.
3. Buying a flat with a huge Home Loan. The EMI’s that you have to pay will ruin your happiness for the next 20-25 years.
Hi As per expert of real estate, Real estate investors calculate the returns they have earned by investing in homes over the years, but things have started to change in the recent past. One who invests in FD have earned a better rate of return compared to real estate return.
Hello Raghav, it is true in somehow, but real estate returns are depend upon various factors, not only percentage of price growth, but it depend upon where you invest, in which city or in which location. But we can't deny that previous years is not good for real estate investor in terms of growth factor.
