@OP, maybe a simple google search to start with? 😊... just kidding... there are a lot of good platforms to send money to India - Xoom, Remitly, Ria, etc. Everyone has their pros and cons, but mostly should work for anyone!!!

Ria has the best rates but it's only good for smaller amounts upto 3k per day and 8k per 30 days. For 10s of 1000s of $ Western union or xoom usually have the best rates.

This is super helpful. Thank you!

If transferring more than $10K use your bank wire transfer. Better rate with a flat $20-30 fee

24, a decent amount of savings in the bank. I’m sort of interested in buying a property in the next few years.
Is this a good or bad idea? I live in Ny area, so obviously the city would probably be too expensive to buy any property. Would probably have to buy further out in westchester, Long Island, maybe connecticut or NJ. If I buy, should I be living there? Or should I rent it out until I’m ready to live there (assuming it’s a bit further from the city). Very early stages of just thinking
