Ram’s brother Shyam has been trying to convince that a large home loan right now is not a good idea, as with a Rs. 50 lakh home loan, the EMI will be Rs. 50,000 per month for 20 years: This means that for the next 2-3 years Ram will have to stop all other investments-and only pay his EMI and his household expenses. Instead, he recommends Ram to invest in a much smaller property as an investment, with a Rs. 20 lakh home loan, and give it out on rent. When the property appreciates in value, he can sell it, repay his home loan, and will have made a tidy profit on the sale.
