If someone can afford it, having a children's room is a game changer. i grew up in joint family and slept in whichever room i was at 10pm, with my parents, my Dadi, my bua so i didn't require a bedroom but had this room dedicated to myself for playing and study purpose. Not having a bed makes a room very spacious and I could always play with my friends there without making a mess in main living room, so yeaha win win.

A great episode as usual. I have been following the Tenant for a very long time. I have nothing but praises for the series.

THank you for your great content. One suggestion - in each video, could you also talk about the monthly maintenance fees? That would help prospective investors work out the math a little better. Thank you.

[@chandansatyanarayan2760]

In Bangalore they range from 2 - 25 rupees depending on the apartment project. Total takes it on the higher side. This project could be somewhat in between...

[@Whatreally123]

I'm a local Bangalorean and trust me you're well off in Shillong. This apartment might seem superb and it is (probably the only builders who make amazing places to live) but the rents and purchase prices are insanely high. Lot of money also means tons of stress. So it is always a balance.

[@chandansatyanarayan2760]

Windmills the project started in 2005

[@sowmyaseshan518]

One of the reasons landlords are finicky about background checks in blr and high deposit maybe: 1. It’s the IT hub and that pays lot of money which is in circulation. 2. Rental and deposit amount also depends on the fixtures provided in apt which involves lots of cost on part of landlord. 3. Most of the people who buy nice apts as investment and let it out are not around in vicinity or even the city, so it becomes very difficult in startup culture to find out whether they will be actually able to pay up the rent hence so much background etc which might not be the case for regular jobs, regular married people, or singles(same genders) occupying on sharing basis,…as is shown in ur videos culture of blr has become bps progressive ,live ins,living with work partners and so but not most of the landlords are that progressive

[@suyogchandak2340]

What a steal for 2.4L. Beautiful!

[@chandansatyanarayan2760]

In a town where 3bhks average a rent of 30-40,000 Rs, 2.5 L is considered Daylight murder not robbery. Most average people haven't heard of such rentals. But Whitefield makes you cough up so much plus Total Environment the builder sells at 40 % premium on flats in an already inflated apartment market at 50 % bloating. The house owner even after renting this house for 20 years wouldn't have cleared the loan while fully paying the rent to the bank.

[@wanderingsoul7348]

​@@chandansatyanarayan2760I rent my 1200 sqft 2BHK apartment in Varthur (way outside main city) of a B-grade builder for 50k a month. This is a 4800sq ft apartment with a top tier builder that too in a posh locality close to tech parks. Just considering that the size is 4 times of my 2bhk apartment, the rent is super cheap. This is also nicely furnished and probably the cost of the flat would be over 3.5-4cr making the rental yield within range of what other smaller projects offer. Everything is relative and if you look at that way, 2.5lakh rent for this 4800 sqft luxurious apartment from a tier 1 builder in city centre is a good deal.

One thing which would concern me is the water supply and electricity reliability. This topic should always be broached during the apartment tours by Money Control. I live in the USA and have heard horror stories about water supply and power cuts in India.

[@kiranb7364]

Your concerns are very much valid. Karnataka used to have 18hrs of power cut once upon a time, and summer water shortages are a reality. However the other reality is that being the capital and money cow, Bangalore is taken care of. So you see only a little power cut and some water scarcity. Please note, even the cheapest apartments/most homes in Bangalore has underground sump storage for water. Apartments like this will have massive water storage, sewage treatment plant, and even water purification plant. Hell even if you buy all your water in tankers, it cost a couple of thousand bucks a month max!, which is what 25$?. The association will take care of all logistics, you just have to pay it as part of maintenance. Any good apartment worth it will have 24hrs power backup, and you might even not know that power is not there. Just add another 500 bucks for diesel as part of the maintenance. Well, one of my friends apartment got power connection after 2 years due to some issue, and they lived all these two years on generators with no issues. In west the govt will provide you all these facilities with tax money. Here in Bangalore, you pay the cheap price of 50-100$ a month to get 24hr running water, uninterrupted power, street light in common area, pool, gym, club, cleaning and house keeping of common area, very good gate security (you will have to approve every visitor trough a mobile app). So long story short, these are non issues even for mid level apartments in Bangalore, so it does not make any sense for Moneycontrol to tough at this topic in super luxury apartment tours.
