NRIs started to take an active interest in the Indian real estate sector as soon as the rupee began to fall. This is obviously one of the best times for the Non Resident Indians to invest in India and real estate seems t them to be the most secure investment option, especially because they can now easily afford it here. But Indian real estate is not doing nearly as well as it should to massively invest here. But for NRIs the good news is that not all segments of the Indian real estate are unreliable.Property consultants Jones Lang La Salle are of the opinion that the commercial spaces are the best investment option for NRIs in India. Not just high net worth individuals but also wealth management firms and private bankers are also buying into commercial properties. Commercial properties are sought after as they can protect the portfolio of an investor against a volatile stock market and inflation. Commercial properties also provide the advantages of long term leases.But for NRIS to safely buy properties in India can be a real challenge. Here a few tips that can safeguard NRIs who choose to be better informed.Investment and returns: An investment in a commercial property is mostly importantly done for good returns. While investing one should be ready to make an investment of Rs 3-4 crore. Rental yield (annual rent divided by property value) of commercial properties is around 12%. It is foolish to buy commercial property and ignore rental yields. It is a mistake as well to keep in mind only the capital value appreciation of the property. Rental yield is an important parameter to measure the productivity of price of the property. 11-12% rental yield is a healthy and profitable rental yield for a commercial property. If the rental yield is anywhere lower than that then possibly the property is being sold at a much higher price than it deserves.Returns from commercial properties in India are between 10% and 11% annually. The value of a commercial property lies in what income it can generate. It should not be confused with the process of evaluation of residential properties which are valued by the profit on sale at an appreciated price. Dealing in commercial real estate brings high returns but it is a proper option for the more risk taking investors.Location of property: Location is always important factor for a commercial property. A good location means good demand. If sufficient research about the location of the property is not done an NRI can be easily duped into buying a property in a micro market where growth can be stilted and vacancies high.Type: Most investors look for retail and office space when it comes to invest in. Previously it was difficult for small investors to find properties because most of the available ones were large units. But now smaller spaces are available. It is advisable to avoid malls but to opt for properties by the up and coming high streets.Precaution: And as usual one should take up the necessary precautions checking routine before investing in any property. Check the credentials of the developer, research the infrastructural development of the place, what are the facilities for private and public transport there etc. In case of buying office space check the property tax you have to pay, vacancy factor, insurance of the building, lock-in period, long term capital appreciation, lease term etc. In case of retail space, look into the frontage, foot fall dynamics etc.займ на карту без отказов круглосуточновзять кредит онлайн
