What are some passive income opportunities in Chennai

Commercial Real Estate is a very profitable one if one can afford it. Within main chennai its impossible to buy CRE now, unless one already has a land. But in Tier 2 or outside city limits one can buy land and wait for a year or 2. And then build shops or office complex depending upon the land and ...

How much is enough ?

After living for 11 years in US every time when I come to Chennai I used to blame everyone surrounding me including parents, brothers, relatives, maids, even common crowd. I saw that they are not improved and still the same ugly mess. So I always make myself come only for max for 3 weeks. But all of ...

How much is enough ?

[quote=KRV;68199]Tejasvee, I did not say India is the only status-conscious society but there is a baseline 'egalitarianism' in Europe for example that is sorely missing in India. In India, the differences between the have-nots, haves and have-mores are glaring and strike you everyday. Especially ...

How much is enough ?

[quote=picket;67321]We started planning on my R2i and I have been reading posts here for some time, I have read, people who have already r2id or planning saying that you need 1 (good) reason to R2i.

Grading your India Return

May be the poll should include what was the reason to r2i and was it achieved? 1. Number of years after R2I: 7 months 2. Satisfaction level (scale of 1 - 10), 10 being max satisfied: above 7 4. Single most satisfying issue after R2I: not pretending to be a Indian while in US and really back home 3 ...

How much is enough ?

I guess age alone will not stop someone from r2ing. Usually nri indians in the mid to upper 40's will have kids in their upper teens who certainly will not r2i. So the parents have to stay back then, no choice. Moreover nris in the mid to upper 40's would have stayed 15-20 years abroad which also ...

How much is enough ?

R2i process definitely does not start from how much money is in USD savings thou it definitely helps after r2i and should not be the primary reason to r2i. Because no matter how much ever money you got one cannot compare a US lifestyle to Indian lifestyle. Make your r2i decisions only if there is an ...

How much money should be spent on buying a house?

Bossman, First of all you did not mention your city of r2i. But no matter where you are its better to have your own house. You can rent for 1 to 2 years max, but you definitely need your own house. I do not understand the reason why you are not willing to buy it on loan in case you do not want to ...
