Islamabad - Property Analysis

[initiator (ahmed)]

I am thinking of investing PKR 5 million purely for investment purposes.

Investment size: 5 million Horizon: 2 - 3 years City: Islamabad

The goal is to maximize risk/return.

Zone 1 is already too pricey and the best i would get in that budget is probably a 4 marla plot in g-13 etc.

Zone 2 is still cheap and i can buy something decent in my budget.

B-17 Pros: safe investment, very good development, construction of margalla avenue will have an impact on prices

Cons: a little far, property prices have already risen considerably in last 6-8 months to incorporate the planned construction of margalla ave

ISLAMABAD ORCHARDS - MPCHS

Pros: can buy a 5 kanal plot for the price of 1 kanal plot elsewhere, mpchs development, close to wah cantt where price/marla is substantially more

Cons: very far from islamabad - 26 kms from islamabad interchange and roughly 50 kms from main islamabad (f-6) which could be reduced to roughly 42-43 kms when margalla ave is completed. To get the best out of this, another interchange on m-1 will be needed close to B-17 for easier access to Margalla ave. Could potentially give amazing returns in 2-3 years, but it's a gamble.

Others to consider - GULSHAN -e- SEHAT, PECHS, UNIVERSITY TOWN

All three are relatively cheap. I can get two kanals of land in my budget, but it's a matter of choosing where to invest.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Dear ahmed, if i was you, i would not take a lot of risk with hard earned money. I would go for b-17 safe investment. And with your time frame of 2 to 3 years, it will definitely give a good return. In sha allah.

@ihsan bhai

I do appreciate your sincerity and you're right about b-17 being a safe investment. My point, however, is that in 45 - 50 lac range i can get 1 kanal plot in b-17 and in the same amount i can get 1 kanal + 10 marla in pechs, d-18 etc. It then becomes a question of which would have higher return in 2-3 years.

Dear ahmed,

Thanks for appreciation. But this prediction might be very difficult to make.
