Is it sensible to Invest in Financed Properties beyond Metro cities?

Most people would agree that buying a property in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, etc. is a very costly affair. A flat that can be bought easily in Rs 40 lacs would cost around Rs 60-65 lacs in Metros. It might cost even more if the location is sought after.

So if you work in a metro city and find the house unaffordable, then you can consider buying a house in satellite cities of these metros. Due to improved connectivity and public transport, it's not a bad option at all. And for office-goers, if there is no significant increase in commuting times, then looking beyond metros is a sensible option.

Obviously, the biggest benefit is low property prices. This in turn means that your home loan requirement would reduce too and so would the EMIs. A lower EMI can mean savings of lacs of rupees and you also get a shot at prepaying the home loan.
