As every one of us are well aware about the real-estate scenario that has experienced a drastic and a colossal change in recent times all over the globe. More evident effects were felt in Hyderabad and its vicinity. The factors were numerous; the imprints definitely had the effects on industrial growth and investments. But steadily yet again, Hyderabad real-estate unanimously was declared the ‘safest bet’.

The investment story in Hyderabad realty industry had witnessed an unimaginable growth since ages, except at-times where the sudden and drastic fall was seen especially in areas like Shamshabad and Maheshwaram – where expected high-returns were short lived.

Let me share here ‘a story of investment’, which had been put forth by one of my well-wisher recently. This really compelled me to think twice the term ‘investment’!

It so happened with three gentlemen, who were appointed as clerks in a firm – coincidentally on the same day and upon the same pay-scale.

For us to understand, let’s refer these clerks as Clerk A, Clerk B and Clerk C. Now, let me explain you their family status and background:

Clerk A – hailed from a well-to-do family background, with huge ancestral land holdings. He never really concentrated on savings and investments. He was a spend-thrift, with a lavish life-style and socially active behavior.

Now, Clerk B – who hailed from a highly economically weak family background, always on a look-out for a better and a meager investment especially in real-estate.

Lastly, Clerk C – who was raised in a mediocre and average family with hordes of responsibilities over his shoulders. Thus, he ever thought or concentrated on any kind of investment. His sole aim was to provide quality education to his children.

Now to our astonishment the economic stability chart of these clerks are as follows;
A decade before, their income graph was:

Clerk A was the richest of all - Clerk B was the poorest - Clerk C was average.

Now present times, as of today, it’s witnessed a drastic change in their economic condition graph:

…their monthly office emoluments remained the same………, but subsequently their monthly income changed…. can you guess why and how?

Now Clerk B became the richest comparatively. Clerk C remained in the same shell, his average status remained the same, whereas Clerk A became the poorest of all.

This made me to learn and understand and moreover spell out what actually a better investment and subsequently a safe return should be!

Thus, it is clearly evident that Clerk B often reached out wisely for safe and secured investments which reciprocated and maintained his balanced economic growth.

I finally conclude that: "Better planning is the only KEY to SUCCESS."

It is never too late for us to analyze and differentiate between a good investment and a safe return.
