PUNE NRI MISTAKES
(1) Buying near IT parks at peak prices (2018-2022) — many NRI investors face muted appreciation; long-term hold required.
(2) Multiple under-construction property exposures — diversification across builders/projects more prudent.
(3) Builder-specific concentrations — some Pune builders had financial issues; NRI exposure to one builder concentration is risky.
(4) RERA complaints available — many NRIs missed filing complaints in time; statute of limitations matters.
