Taxation in India is different than in the US. Thats the primary reason its unworkable.

Secondary reasons are the need of a large pool of black money to fund RE transactions at scale. That doesn't exist in the US.

It's a great book to understand the need of building passive income streams but in India that stream isn't RE.

What is that stream would be? While I agree with your analysis, what makes me wonder is why people in India are heavily investing in RE? Take a look at any street in your area across India there is some sort of construction and rental properties across. There should be some way which we(internet people) are not able to get it, but locals(reddy’s, Naidu) are being doing from ages

RE has its utility, but suboptimal in this country imo.

Its difficult to not do it and resist the temptation, but the low yields and headaches of maintenance put you off.

Folks use it to move cash around. Salaried people don't need that.

Actual great Commercial properties the builder never sells, they're always leased.

Buying raw farmland and getting title convert is not for fait hearted it's only for people with backing of special kind. Buying commercial land parcels also has its nuances.
