Hello everyone,
I moved to BLR last year from Gurgaon.
Have been looking up for a good 3 BHK in BLR for quite some time now, but the prices have inflated too much.
I have a decent corpus of around 1 cr.
With ~88L in stocks, 7L in Mutual funds and ~10L in flexi FD.
Would it be wise to go for a 3BHK apartment costing 1.9 cr ?

30M married, total take home ~3L every month

Far too young to wipe out your entire corpus on a house you’re not sure to remain in the city for the rest of your life even.

Thanks man !

88 lakhs in stocks? Dude how and why!? Isn't MF a safer place than direct stocks with that kind of corpus.

My total investment out of pocket in stocks is around 50L.
In general stocks move faster compared to MF hence the bigger allocation in direct equities.
As of today the overall stock portfolio has jumped to 1.11 cr

While the MF allocation of 6L has moved up by 2L only to 8 L
