A few months ago, there was a comment from one of the readers saying whether investment cloning in real estate is possible or not. While we could not have complete chat on this subject, this concept has been in my head for some time. Do you know that this concept evolves round the investment cloning where you can buy one property with your own investment and you can multiply several real estate properties by doing nothing? This concept could have been tested and would have been yielding results. In this article, I would tell you about the concept of investment cloning in real estate properties.

What is a real estate investment cloning?

There is no specific definition here. What I meant is using an investment option and cloning it to get high returns or multiply your money. The investment concept is Real Estate. If you can buy one residential property or commercial property with your own investment and with the rental income, you can buy subsequent properties by doing zero or minimum additional investment.

How real estate investment cloning work exactly?

I would explain this with an example

1) You have purchased a residential property for say Rs 60 Lakhs with your own investment. Let us assume that you expect a rental income of Rs 30,000 per month. This amount, you can invest in subsequent properties by way of EMI’s.

2) You go for second residential or commercial property by considering home loan of say Rs 30 Lakhs. For this you would need approx Rs 30K for a 20 year home loan. Assume that you have opted for this and purchased second house and the EMI would be paid from the rental income of 1st property. You may receive some rent for a second home. It could be say Rs 10,000. This rental income is surplus and you can utilize this for subsequent properties.

3) Now you  go for 3rd residential or commercial property by considering a home loan of say Rs 10 Lakhs. Assume that you opted for this and purchased 3rd property and pay the EMI from 2nd residential or commercial property rental income. You may or may not get any rent in case you have opted for any residential land, hence let us stop here.

After 15-20 years, all your home loan EMI’s would get closed and additional 2 properties would be in your name along with capital appreciation of the property values. You have not paid a single rupee for these 2nd and 3rd properties beyond any down payment of home.

Do you think it is a silly concept, wait, I have not completed yet. You need to see some pre-requisites and limitations before thinking of this concept.

What are the pre-requisites before we implement the investment cloning concept?

  • You should own the first residential or commercial property and you should be willing to forego the rental income of it, as this would be invested for subsequent properties.
  • There should not be any home loans or personal loans in your name, else you would not get any loans to buy these properties.
  • You should not expect any additional returns from such newly added properties during the process of building the real estate properties.
  • You should have good cibil score to get quicker and high amount of loans at low interest rates.
  • In case there is limit for you to get multiple home loans, you should take help from your spouse for getting home loans.

Well, but what are the limitations of investment cloning concept?

  • You may not get loans if you have a low cibil score. You may get stuck during building such properties.
  • Real Estate prices may fall in future in the location where you invested.
  • Too much follow-up for rental income and taking care of financial transactions every month
  • Real estate properties could be under litigation after you purchased them.
  • Interest rates can fluctuate and you may land up in paying higher EMI and the difference would affect your personal cash flow.
  • In case you are taking home loans on your spouse name, Cibil score of your spouse can affect your loan eligibility and you may be charged with high interest rates.

Conclusion: Investment cloning in real estate is a good concept. As of today, I have not explored this option, but I am sure, I would do that in coming months. No doubt that real estate is one of the best investments in India, but the cloning concept would help you to build the properties faster with no extra investment.

Readers, by any chance, are you doing such cloning concept, if so, what are your experiences. Do you feel there are higher risks involved in such concept ?

  1. Hi Suresh,

    I have read your article on the investment cloning. Looks a good option. I have two flats on my name, one 2 Bhk for which I am getting 25000 /month rent and another 1 bhk with 8000 /month rent. Would you suggest me to go for another one with the 30k emi may be a commercial property.

  2. I already have 1 BHK(15 year old) for self and another 1 BHK(15 year) as investment with 10K as rent.

    I am planning to buy one more new 1BHK(which will earn 8K rent) Shall purchase it or not?

    Please provide your suggestion whether to take loan of 25lac to purchase it or invest this 10K in MF for long term.
