The year end is approaching and during this time, like most people, you may also be thinking of buying property. Some banks and housing finance companies are also offering concessions on loan interest rates during the festive season. The biggest advantage of investing in property is that it opens up a source of income for you which ensures regular income. Investing in real estate provides you ownership of property, income tax benefits and rental income along with many other important benefits. Secondly, the property market is also less volatile than the stock market.
