Here’s a comprehensive checklist to guide you:
1. Location Analysis
Is the property close to highways, metros, and major business hubs?
Does the area have good social infrastructure (schools, hospitals, malls)?
What are the future infrastructure projects planned nearby?
Example: Chembur has seen rising demand due to the Eastern Freeway, Metro Line 2B, and MTHL connectivity
2. Rental Yield
Rental yield = (Annual rent / Property value) x 100
Mumbai’s average yield is 2–4%, higher in micro-markets like Chembur East or Bhandup
Tip:
Higher yield = Better cash flow from your investment
3. Capital Appreciation Potential
Look at past price trends over 5–10 years
Check for upcoming infrastructure that can drive future growth
Tip:
Locations undergoing rapid transformation usually offer the best returns
4. Developer Credibility
Is the project RERA registered?
What’s the builder’s track record in terms of quality and timely delivery?
Check reviews and delivery timelines of past projects
5. Project Quality and Amenities
Gated community, security, clubhouse, parking, lifts, etc.
Higher quality often means better resale and rental value
Premium projects in Chembur now offer rooftop amenities, gyms, EV charging and more
6. Legal and Regulatory Clearances
Land title, occupation certificate, RERA registration, and approvals must be in place
Tip:
Always consult a legal expert or trusted real estate advisor
7. Loan Eligibility & Financing Options
Check if banks have approved the project
What is your EMI affordability based on rental income?
8. Exit Strategy
Is it easy to resell or rent the property?
Areas with high demand and liquidity make for safer investments
Conclusion
The best investment is not just about price—it’s about location, builder, rental potential, and growth prospects. Evaluate with logic, not emotion.
