We are five people. I earn, 22lpa (142k per month) and my brother earns 23.5 lpa (143k) .
There is a huge argument regarding buying a home 3bhk. Even my parents are supporting my brother but I'm saying no as we only have 15 lpa in hand and don't really want to pay EMI for 20 years. I was saying if we buy a home it will be tough for children's education (could be 4 in future) but they are not understanding it. Looking for 1.10 cr appartment. Is it wise to pay emi for next 20 years?

I would suggest buying your own home instead of buying with your brother. There will be big differences between your wife and your brother's wife.

Why dont you buy two houses... one each... I have taken a 3bhk home along with brother and there are a lot of issues that come up.. better you have your own and he have his own...
It gets very difficult post marriage.. I am experiencing the same

Buying house in the name of parents. What about claiming house loan tax benefit. Don't do that. If you buying, buy it jointly on your both names.

Well, you seem like you do want to stay with your family but have some doubts which are legit.
One solution that I have seen many families take up is that they buy a plot and make house and start living. Later if problems occur, they just make more floors and start living separately in same house. In my opinion that is very good solution it's kind of hybrid arrangement where you live separately with your wife and together with your family at the same time.

You can purchase plot/land. build 4 stories apartment by taking loan. Sell 3 stories keep one to yourself 🙂

So basically, do not try to earn more and find time for it aside from the daily job. Just keep doing the private job with a steady income until you are promoted by someone who himself is promoted.

Do not look here and there, just like a horse used in a cart is made to look just straight.

Joint property is the worst thing. U are only making provisions of fight for ur future children. Apna apna investment karo n take smaller houses need be. A peaceful smaller home is better than a big house without peace.

A joint income of 45.5 LPA and in a city like Hyderabad. I am sorry but you are spoilt. There are those on less than quarter of that in a city like Mumbai supporting entire family and still dreaming and working towards buying assets including house. Yes it is a fight. I am going to make some legit assumptions - you want to travel and take a break. I reckon your age less than 26 or at most 27? Also you didn't mention the 5th member.
Irrespective of what you and others think - things will change for sure as you age. Your interests and responsibilities. You won't be able to escape and if you do you won't escape the consequences - emotionally, socially and economically. I hate to say but I see a split happening between the brothers later down in the line unless yours is an exceptional family and the victims of that split will your parents. So try not let that happen. Besides, go ask a bank if they give joint loan to brothers - most likely they will say no. Two siblings of same gender especially brothers usually don't get a joint loan easily. Go figure why ,or read my message and the thread again for a hint.

Now in Mumbai a decent 1bhk in a decent locality is easily upwards of 1cr. A 1cr loan fetches a monthly EMI of about 70K-80K depending on multiple variables. With a joint income of about 2.9 LPM I don't see it a challenge to repay a meagre 80K a month unless you all are living like royals. Go lookup how many people in this country earn as much every month and you will know and that too for your city. This is not to demean you but to give you a reality check which you thoroughly need as I don't think your travelling is helping you with your horizons. Eventually what you do is upto you but it is manageable as long as you and they respect the keyword in my premise - Joint.

like

Why bank won’t give loan to joint ?? This is not right they will give happily

Don't get into this mess. Post marriage there will be 2 more members as you said and they might want to live separately, which is completely fair. You can't make these kinda long term decisions with brother especially if it's a house you all will stay in. Probably plan for independent house. Buy the plot now and slowly build 2 floors, one for you and your future family, one for him.

Or the independent house, and duplex please

If you guys are gonna split the emi in half half, then it’s a decent salary to pay half in emi because you’ll get raise too with every passing year

Not a good time to buy any real estate , looking at the slowing down economy as well as interest rates getting higher.

Don't be emotional fool of having a house just like everyone.

Keep investing for 10-15years atleast and then only you'll be able to decide where you would like to settle instead of binding yourself to this flat and burden of EMI


I assume you don't have any land/property in your or your parents name thats why they are forcing you guys to buy it now so that you can get married with ease as it is necessary constraint/requirement from brides side.

Instead of that you can buy some agricultural land(seperately) in your native (it will come cheap) and you don't have to dive deep into long term EMIs

like

If you are being forced to do something then it's not right. I understand from your comments that your brother seems like the decision maker in the house, but 3 bhk ,for 2 families will be tough.
Later you both are gonna have kids and it's going to get really cramped up. Better buy a separate house for yourself. I live in a 3 bhk with my inlaws. If we have kids , we will have a room for the kids. Else it's going to get so cramped up.
The solution is, you contribute some money on the down payment of the 3bhk and let your brother stay there with parents and take a separate 2 bhk for your self later. And tell this plan directly, that if we both have families , we would need a 5 bhk for us and kids and parents for everyone to have space. Else it will be a very cramped and chaotic situation.
And you need to buck up and learn to drive like a grown up. You can't talk like a 5 year old who needs the elder brother to take him places.

As a person who recently bought a home after going through the endless debate of rent vs own. I realized It is a personal choice and there isn't a one size fits all logic here.
Why I chose to buy:
1. Wanted an anchor in life
2. The Need to be free from the hassles of eviction and shifting
3. Interest amount upto 2L can be offset against taxable income so net interest paid to the bank is technically reduced.
4. It's easier to sell a flat that has been purchased at home loan rate. To down the line exchange for a commerical property. Than having to take a loan later at commercial rate (no LTCG as selling real estate to buy real estate has exemption, shares cannot accommodate this tax cut)
5. Peace of ownership
