The advisor highlights that this new trend among India’s wealthy is not about buying homes to live in. Instead, Kapoor says it is a structured and calculated wealth-building model that operates like a machine. “They’re not buying flats. They’re building a machine,” Kapoor wrote on Threads.
Step 1: Early entry into branded under-construction projects
The rotation strategy begins with early investments in under-construction residential projects, typically 2 to 3 years before possession. At this stage, buyers benefit from prices that are 20–25% lower than market value and payment plans that reduce financial pressure. “Real appreciation kicks in by year 3,” said Kapoor.
Step 2: Sell or lease at peak demand
Once possession is complete, property prices usually rise by 25–40%. This attracts HNIs and NRIs who prefer branded, ready-to-move-in assets. At this point, the investor can either sell the unit to secure profits or lease it to earn rental income between 5% and 7%. “They either sell to lock profits… or hold and refinance,” Kapoor explained.
Step 3: Shift profits into commercial properties
Profits made from residential sales are then redirected into commercial assets like Shop-Cum-Offices (SCOs), pre-leased commercial units, or land parcels in high-growth corridors. These investments provide rental yields of 6% to 9% along with long-term value appreciation. “The goal is stable cashflow plus asset appreciation,” she wrote.
Step 4: Repeat the cycle for compounding returns
The strategy involves repeating this rotation cycle every few years. Over 7 to 10 years, investors complete this cycle 3 to 4 times. The focus remains on disciplined timing, emotion-free decisions, and selecting the right projects. “No team. No pitch deck. No SEBI approvals. Just market timing, patience, and project selection,” Kapoor emphasised.
For India’s wealthy, this method is not about home ownership—it’s about creating and compounding wealth in a systematic and private way, she highlighted.
