Radhika Gupta's perspective on buying home: An emotional argument

In a candid conversation with Radhika Gupta, an MD and CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, stated, “Home buying as a primary home, it’s just an emotional argument. Honestly, the financial math really makes sense because that rental yield on a home today is significantly less than even interest rates.” 

She continued, “I don’t own a second piece of real estate, and I don’t intend to own a second piece of real estate because I like liquid investment. These are diamonds. These are not investments, I am not gonna sell them. This is my wedding ring, I am not gonna sell it. This is not an investment. I always tell women, don’t call this an investment.”

Radhika concluded by saying this is a gift from her husband when they got married and these are emotions.
