Why Nikhil Kamath Finally Bought A House (Buying Vs Renting)

[@timcooper3566]

If you're wealthy..buying home or renting home literally does not matter!!

[@VrushalYT]

Exactly. It’s like me renting my 500 rs chappal vs buying it.

[@NIMESHDADIA]

@@VrushalYT excellent analogy

[@tradingwizard562]

No , it does matter because u may not remain wealthy . At that time when ur wealth is gone you will be very happy if u have a home . Especially if u have a house with multiple floors which u can rent . Ppl don't realize when u lose wealth , the paying of your rent really destroys your self confidence and deplets whatever wealth is left very fast . So be smart , when u have wealth buy your assets , Especially your house , real fast .

[@VrushalYT]

@@tradingwizard562 Do you think someone who is a Billionaire doubts their own ability to not earn that money back again? Rich people mostly have the confidence of earning it back again. They are not planning their fail-safe.

Yes, seriously! They will calculate and tell how renting is best but it’s not only about money. We can renovate a rented place the way we want and many other reasons. They just suggest renting based upon it being economical ignoring the other aspects! It’s so stressful to change houses every few years! On top of that so much restrictions from owners…

Stability of having your own place is really important. Plus lot of stuff gets broken and misplaced and stolen in moving homes.

[@srworld9758]

It's simple common sense: if you don't own a house, you are obliged to vacate the house within the notice period when the owner demands. That's why ordinary middle-class people give importance to owning their own house. This provides stability, especially for those with growing up school-going children, a sense of ownership, less worry and a hassle-free life (no need to repeat the address change or house hunt), and the ability to plan for paying EMI. These are all the primary reasons people buy a house. The ultra-rich may make some calculations to argue that renting is best, but when they face any of these situations, they too end up buying their own house. Nikhil, has joined join the club of other ultra rich who does not practice what they preech. Nikhil, please influence others to talk sensibly to ordinary people, without confusing them. Because many believe your views. This is an honest opinion, shared with due respect. 🙏 One more thing, please allow the interviewer to speak. Her balance sheet question was classic🎉

[@dilip_joshi]

You can also find another rented home within 3 months of notice.

[@ankit_jain]

It’s not about finding another house within 3 months. It’s about the hassle involved which you did not plan for. When you have to vacate a house unplanned, just going through that experience would make you determined about buying your own house so you don’t have to experience that randomness again. Address changes, document updates, packing stuff, moving stuff, finding a new community, blending in, kids should like it, etc, etc. Lots of variables.

[@aishabavani8789]

​@@dilip_joshikoi logic nahi is baat mai. Ye single logo k liye possible hai. Kids aur senior citizens ho jinke ghar mai vo problem mai aa jate hai. Apni puri life ka rent mai 1 ghar aa jayega. Jiski price badhti hi rahegi. Gold land and home ye teen chizo ki price kabhi kam nahi hoti. Baaki sab bakwas hai. Rich ki lifestyle alag hai. Middle class need security. Ye nikhil jese log 1 min mai ghar le sakte hai. Isliye kya fark padta hai le ya na le they have money. But middle class ko loan emi bank documents sab dekhna padta hai. Planning and management to karna chahiye.

[@shashwat2209]

[@MRC647]

Look, Owning a house gives a sense of security and stability to the entire family. APNA ghar kaisa bhi ho, apna ghar , apna ghar hota hai. And that feeling can not be compared to any value of money

[@akhil-menon]

If you can do so with a manageable loan, else you're running the risk of banks seizing your home. If you can buy without a loan, then nothing like it.

[@Nancysunshine1]

Finally these people who give so much lectures of renting got the idea of buying a house...its not with financial security but its happiness and a safe feeling that no one will throw me out of my home anyday

Nikhil, in US, you can get 100% depreciation on short term rental assets. If you buy 1 million dollar house, you get 1 million dollar tax write-off. That is why buying real estate in US makes sense. It doesn't in India due to policies and inflated price.

The question of renting or buying a house, I think, only arose when you have sufficient money for luxury.

[@SyedAhmed-o8q]

Was a wonderful experience with this podcast , I’m from Bangalore but settled in US now.

[@desitechlead]

It's government failure because of which it is not liquid. Transaction cost is high for both seller and buyer , hence everyone want to go into blackmoney transaction which takes out the trust on other party. Govt doesn't have proper documentation , which makes it difficult to analyse if there are legal obligation on the house. It's simply a government failure. Buying and selling can be made much more easy if the transaction cost is lowered and government maintain proper file and keep everything online

[@ParthGandhimusic]

Just a thought... If demand for buying new property declines, demand for renting shall increase and renting prices will go high.... In any case in 30 years if you own a flat.. you might be able to earn good from renting the property....

This is quite a basic one.. we all end up buying rather than renting after a while because of the hassle + rent escalation + finally comfort + buying power etc.

[@deepsammanna]

That last statement from nikhil was personal. She had literally rolled her eyes.

[@07feb2008]

I have a friend who is a wealth management guy, who advised me to not buy a car. He showed some stats showing how uber and ola were more convenient and less expensive. And the guy has 2 cars. A small car for his city rides and a Kia Carnival for family. Matlab kuch bhi?!

[@DK4u2007]

This is the same thing people where commenting on his earlier post on renting is better than buying a house.. you don’t want to move from one place to another even if its two blocks away..

[@sanish46]

Many people are commenting that he has turned on his statement. Logically, for him it doesn't matter if he rents or buy as he is not paying 40-50% of his 'yearly salary' as EMIs. But for a normal individual who earns anywhere between 6-20 LPA, paying a good amount of your money to buy house doesn't make sense at least in their early career days. Thinking of buying it as an investment is even worse as the top guys of real estate in this podcast agree that you will get max 6% yield from your real estate investments.

[@BarkaDog]

But you can take leverage to invest in real estate. You can’t walk up to a bank and ask for loan to invest in shares.

He said it right.. you never knw when the landlord ask you to leave ..and you need to build your new nest all over again.only for this reason we need to buy a hime

[@balajireddy7396]

I'm absolutely in agreement with nikhil's prospective on real estate.. Real-estate should not be a "store of value" like many of us thinks. This leads to hyperinflation at micro level. Even chai would cost you more when rent is higher but to over inflated real estate price. Real-estate should not be valued much beyond its utility value like what happens now in most of our country. This will sink us one day big big time. Real-estate should not be considered as "Speculation".. Real estate should be one of a component in our portfolio along with precious metals , equities, bonds.

[@bhaskerkhandelwal]

Zerodha just made a profit of ₹4500cr last year. Just saying

[@rohitsmily02]

Let's realise that our middle class life is way too different than people like him

[@sprajosh]

This is what I (and a lot of people) had been saying about renting vs buying. If you stay on rent, you are relying on the owner to not kick you out of that house. If it's not your house, it's not your house. You don't have say in how long you want to stay there. Also for all the middle class people who trusted him blindly, Nikhil is an ultra rich guy. He can wake up one day and decide that he wants to buy a 50cr house. You probably cannot. Which is why it is important to own the place you live in and plan your life accordingly.

[@praveenkumarhugar295]

Nikhil will marry tomorrow and will come up with some obvious reasons for marrying the right person

[@aksleo07]

I would better own my place then survive like a nomadic tribe constantly on move....I would pay EMI instead of rent and own my place and leave my legacy behind...nothing in life lives for itself...again it's my view

[@kondasandeep7]

One imp point which they missed on liquidity is the value of the underlying...when the underlying value goes up liquidity naturally comes down ...just imagine selling and buying a stock that has a 1cr price..that's why stocks undergo splits..other hand you have REITs in real estate ... unfortunately you can't split your house and sell it in parts

[@Pickyprincess10]

You can invest 3% rent in share market monthly sip and at the same time house price will also appreciate.

[@Amiittk]

It's one ultimate dream to own a house, mine too.. But no one should buy a house as an investment. Its the most illiquid asset out there, even the guys in the podcast admitted it. A house should be your home and then it makes sense because its a expense like a car with one added advantage that it counts as an asset which appreciates with time. (in case of flats it doesn't matter)

[@mahtabsoin7239]

this actually makes Nikhil Kamath look like an idiot. Buying and owing your own home is first and foremost about the freedom that it affords - for life. A rental arrangement, by definition, is temporary and not everything (depending on the jurisdiction) is in your control.

[@Amiittk]

Nitin is against real estate as an "investment" , which is right its the worst "investment" you can make, if it's a flat. You can argue about lands but in tier-I cities you can't find land parcels anymore as it is being gobbled up by the biggies. Only in TIER-II and III is where you can find land.

[@debabhishek]

interestingly I bought a house for the same reason that he has done. if you sit with pen and paper you will never be able to buy a house, I bought one house and don't see it as investment, bought it since I liked it and see it how it going to add value in coming years. if price appreciates its good ,, but not buying in expecting a price rise. In this real estate pricing and situation this may not happen. House and car are depreciating asset.. but you need to buy at least 1 of each

when u already inherit one sooner or later u will always find an excuse to invest somewhere else.so for those of you who have n't any atleast by a plot in a two tier city.and if u want in future build a house or sell it when it gets appreciated and buy another plot a cheaper one the difference either invest in stocks or use it for downpayment for the loan to bulid a house.

[@kamalaksh.shenoy]

Buying a house to live in it is simply not debatable. What is illogical is buying a 2nd house just to save tax or think it is an investment. That is a financial suicide. Then there are people buying houses wherever they go like they are a native of Kochi, come to Bangalore for work but end up buying a house there when they have absolutely NO IDEA if they will live there beyond 5 yrs. That is illogical. Also there are people who have decided to settle down in one town/city and will never move their family out of that town/city even if the male member/breadwinner/male breadwinner, ... if gets a better opportunity outside of that town/city will move alone. And there are plenty of such people. Then in that case buying an apartment is a good choice as it is with an objective of settling the family.

[@inforfact]

Here are five summarized bullet points of "Why Nikhil Kamath Finally Bought A House (Buying Vs Renting)": Security Over Flexibility (00:01-00:32): Nikhil Kamath, who previously favored renting, decided to buy a house because of the uncertainty and inconvenience of having to move unexpectedly, prioritizing stability and security. Real Estate's Illiquidity (01:07-01:42): Kamath highlights his dislike for real estate as an illiquid asset, contrasting it with stocks, which are easier to sell quickly without heavy transaction costs like stamp duty. Supply and Demand Issues (01:42-02:12): He notes that real estate prices can be volatile due to the small number of buyers, making pricing arbitrary compared to the stock market where there are many participants. Limited Return on Investment (03:20-04:22): In India, real estate rental yields are low, at 3-4% for long-term rentals. Short-term rentals like Airbnb can offer higher returns (8-9%), but the market isn't as mature as in the U.S. or Europe. Real Estate as a Wealth Strategy (03:50-04:22): Some families use real estate as an investment strategy, but Kamath remains cautious, questioning the assumption that real estate will always appreciate in value.
