For years A has been telling me to invest in a property in India as a safeguard option. I am finally taking it seriously now. No time lost. The best time to do it was 5 years ago. The next best time is now. What’s the worst that could happen? We’ll rent it out. In a place like Bangalore, finding renters is not going to be very hard, and now even India has all sorts of fancy property management services you can use from abroad so you don’t have to depend on your family & friends like a decade ago to maintain your property.
