All you need to know about Reverse Mortgage!

Quite often in the movies and in families we have seen and heard about the term ‘mortgage’. We see how a parent has to mortgage their assets to get a loan from the bank to make funds available for their children’s education or the wedding of their daughters. Well, this blog will speak in detail about the furthermore specific aspect of a mortgage, and dwell deep into the concept of ‘Reverse Mortgage’. So, let’s begin with some basic questions.

Reverse Mortgage or Forward Mortgage?

Mortgage, in simple terms, means ‘loan’. The lender can either be a bank or a financial institution or an individual. The purpose of a mortgage can be as simple as to own a property. It might be possible that the mortgage amount can cover the entire cost of the property, but commonly the loan amount can be secured up to 80% of the value of the property.

What ‘Reverse Mortgage’ is somewhat similar to a loan for senior citizens who lack a regular source of income. Imagine a 62-year-old father who owns a house. There’s a considerable amount of home equity line of credit attached to it what we know as HELOC. That amount can be withdrawn at any time. However, the home acts as collateral.

On the other hand, a forward mortgage is a type of fixed-rate mortgage. Compared to a normal kind of mortgage, a forward mortgage proves to be quite expensive. The lock-in period for the interest rate can be planned way ahead even before the mortgage term begins. This is helpful when you intend to own a property in the future. Forward-thinking, isn’t it? That’s why they are called that way.

What you can take away from this is that a reverse mortgage requires you to be 62 years or older to take benefits of the loan amount and they do not require a monthly payment or balance unless the property owner or the borrower dies, or sells the property or moves to a different location.

How does Reverse Mortgage work exactly?

This is the next big question of every layman who doesn’t understand these terms. Well, it’s not a complicated process. The borrower pays to the lender and the lender makes payments. However, in the Indian context, senior citizens tend to transfer their property in the name of their children and later get a bit doubtful whether or not to mortgage the property to a bank or some financial institution. There’s no need for a minimum income amount to qualify for a reverse mortgage as it doesn’t require monthly payments. Even if the borrower doesn’t have an income, they are eligible to qualify for a reverse mortgage.

However, the value of the house they own will be ascertained by independent valuation through property valuation methodologies generally accepted in the industry. A provision for periodic evaluation and consequent loan adjustments would be made once in 5 years, but the loan amount would be fixed based on the present market value of the property and not the future value.

How is reverse mortgage beneficial?

Reverse mortgage is not that convoluted as it seems to be. It has its own perks and senior citizens these days are very much in favour of it. Here are a few benefits of choosing a reverse mortgage.

You are still the owner: Contrary to the popular belief that you lose ownership of your home once you mortgage it, reverse mortgage is nothing like it. As long as you comply with the terms of the loan and pay your property taxes and homeowner’s insurance, the ownership stays with you.

The income is completely tax-free: the income that you receive from a reverse mortgage is exempt from tax. This indicates more savings for you. Not just that, you can even claim deductions on your home repairs and renovation expenses under a reverse mortgage.

It’s a new kind of income source: Moving away from traditional investment options such as fixed deposits, post office schemes or national savings certificate, reverse mortgage proves to be a supplementary source of income.

All about the new RRR: Regional Ring Road

Unlike the period action drama that the maker of Baahubali is making, RRR is nothing similar to what we are about to discuss. This RRR stands for Regional Ring Road – the nod for which has already been given by the Central government for Hyderabad. Let’s talk about this particular RRR in detail, shall we?

THE ORIGIN

For the last several years, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MPs have been representing the central government and seeking permission for Regional Ring Road (RRR). The central government had already approved in principle, for the RRR project way back in 2018, but later failed to make any further announcements on the project.

In the initial phase of the project, the union government had issued a gazette notification to commence work for 166 kilometres of the Regional Ring Road in 2017. The stretch connected Sangareddy, Toorpan and Choutuppal.

The financial viability of the project came into question by the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry in 2019. That’s when a fresh Detailed Project Report (DPR) was called for and the Telangana government duly complied. When the report was submitted, the second phase of the project was lost in oblivion.

It was only when yet another fresh representation by the TRS delegation was made recently and the Union Minister informed the delegation that the second phase of the RRR project connecting Choutuppal, Shadnagar and Kandi has been approved.

ALL ABOUT RRR – REGIONAL RING ROAD

The overall length of the 6-lane RRR project would be 338 km while the width would be 500 feet. The state government has agreed to share at least 50% cost towards land acquisition to execute the project that’s estimated to cost about INR 13,000-crore. The land acquisition for RRR has been completed by the state government and the project is awaiting clearance from the forest department to invite tenders. The RRR is said to come up beyond the existing Outer Ring Road (ORR) and is expected to play a significant role in the economic development of Telangana.

The Regional Ring Road would be connecting Sangareddy, Narsapur, Toorpan, Gajwel, Choutuppal, Bhongir, Jagdevpur, Ibrahimpatnam, Chevella, and Shankarpalli.

TELANGANA PLANS FOR RRR

In order to boost the economic advancement of the state, the Telangana government plans to develop 50 acres within the 30 to 40-kilometre wide strip between ORR and RRR into satellite townships. The state hopes that the RRR will help uplift the infrastructure investments, employment opportunities between the circular roads and reduce congestion in Hyderabad.

It is also said that the Union Minister has given his approval for expansion of the 31.8-km Kodad-Khammam National Highway to 4 lanes under the Bharatmala Pariyojana programme. The Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Mr. Nitin Gadkari has also confidently responded to the demands for the completion of several highway projects as promised under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.

At TMR Group, we believe that these kinds of developments not only help the state to prosper and grow economically, but they offer numerous opportunities for businesses to mutually progress along with the state as well. While we, at TMR Group, have constantly been contributing to the cause, we feel that the Regional Ring Road, just like the title and the maker of the movie suggests, would be a huge blockbuster.

All you need to know about plots

All you need to know about plots

When it comes to buying a plot in India, the formalities and the rules and regulations are aplenty. India is a land (quite literally) predominantly of farmers and businessmen or farmers-turned-businessmen, and rarely the vice-versa is true. Therefore, the need to grow from a regular agricultural land is quite normal. In this blog, we would speak in detail about different kinds of plots and how they fare in today’s market.

Agricultural Plots

Also known as farm plots or open land, these land parcels are used exclusively for agricultural activities. Agriculture, being the major contributor to the Indian economy, the amount of agricultural land available in our country is humungous. Keeping the controversies aside, the recent farmer’s protests might have also brushed up our knowledge in this particular area.

There are certain dos and don’ts when it comes to buying or selling agricultural lands. You are prohibited to develop residential or commercial projects in that plot. You are not allowed to sell it to anyone who is not a farmer. If you intend to sell it to someone who isn’t a farmer, you must put your land up for N.A. (Non-Agricultural) conversion and then once the conversion is done you may sell it to anyone. This brings us to the next kind of plot.

NA Plots

Just as the previous sentence said, NA refers to Non-Agricultural land and these plots can be used for residential or commercial purposes. By default, every land in India is defined as “Agricultural Land” unless until it is defined by some other purpose. In case the land is defined as NA, it’s not just for residential purposes. It can be classified further into these categories –

NA – Commercial

NA – Warehouses

NA – Resort

NA – IT

NA – Residential

Caveat emptor: Many real estate builders use deceptive terms such as “Proposed NA” to lure buyers into a honey trap. There are quite a number of cases where the land has taken more than 10 years to get the NA status.  Let’s dive deep into the NA – Residential plots as there are many other categories where the land can be divided.

Residential Plots: These plots are unique for those who wish to build an independent home as per their taste.

Apartments: The real estate builders who wish to construct a cluster of the housing complex usually in high-rise or low-rise buildings can choose this category.

Villas/Row Houses/Bungalows: These residential plots come under the premium category as they are spacious and luxurious projects available at a higher rate than the usual because of space, location, etc.

Builder Floor: This allows a person to own an entire floor for independent living. These kind of spaces cost a bit higher than apartment floors and a bit cheaper than the bungalow plots.

With a legacy of more than 15 years in plotting, TMR Group has become a renowned brand in and around the region of Hyderabad. The brand offers clear title agricultural and NA plots for everyone in the country and even overseas to invest, make a living and progress with prosperity. The gated community projects ensure that your plots are safe and secure and you do not have to worry about their maintenance for at least a decade. That’s the TMR promise.

Land - the flexible and safest investment deal in 2020

Land – the flexible and safest investment deal in 2020

Achieving your future financial planning goals is a long term process and there are several ways in which you can build assets. One tried and tested avenue which generally yields good results is investing in real estate. But even in field of real estate investment, there are different categories such as Residential Apartments, Commercial Spaces and NA Plots, among others. While investing in each category has its pros and cons, investment in plots can be seen as probably the most flexible one of them all. Read on to find out how!

FLEXIBLE USAGE

While there are certain limitations on what you can do with a residential property or a commercial property, plotting properties offer great flexibility. You can develop your plot according to your aspirations or hold on to it for better appreciation – the choice is yours. Moreover, you can also rent your land for commercial enterprises. Thus, land gives you the benefit of all the three types of real estate investment.

YOUR RETIREMENT HOME

Since the piece of land you own can be used at your own discretion, you need not be in a hurry to develop it or sell it off. Land, being a scarce resource in terms of ownership, provides the advantage of great appreciation in the long term. But as you progress in life setting milestones, you can even create your dream retirement home according your own aesthetics… something that literally becomes the talk of the town! But exaggeration aside, your dream retirement home can actually become an excellent legacy to be passed down to the younger generations.

GOOD LOCATIONS PROVIDE GREAT RETURNS

Choosing a great location to invest in land will give you a financial edge in the future. Plotting projects are generally situated in the outskirts of a booming city, where larger tracts of land are freely available. But deciding the right location to invest in can have a tremendously positive impact on your returns. Buy a plot where foreseeable development is possible in the future and the area offers great civic infrastructure. Buying the right piece of land at the right time is also crucial.

MORE FREEDOM, MORE OPPORTUNITIES

Some investment methods can be quite restrictive but with your own land, it’s a different story altogether.  So long as you are following the local government policies and norms, the land is yours to use as you please. So for example, if you are using your some specific purpose but find another one that would generate more income; you can switch effortlessly, provided that you seek and acquire the relevant permissions. Additionally, if you want to sell some of it off and keep the rest it’s yours to do so.

NET WORTH DIVERSIFICATION

Investing in land is one of the best methods to diversify your net worth. Complementing your other sources of income and asset generation, land can contribute significantly through rent or appreciation. Having a diverse investment portfolio is better for your overall financial security. Having different sources of income is a great way to help secure your future, regardless of what the markets are doing.
