A Second Home is an Investment for a Long Term

Buying a second home always means extra income in the form of rentals or appreciation while selling it. You can also use this home as a vacation rental if you are investing in a hill station or a beachside property. Research by Makaan.com says that buying a second home will provide you with better returns than any other forms of investment such as equities, mutual funds, fixed deposits, or gold.

You are eligible for Tax Benefits on the Second Home, Too

The budget of 2019 in India addresses the taxpayers who have two self-owned properties. This is particularly beneficial for taxpayers, who may own two homes – one in their native place and one in the city where they work. The budget suggests that a taxpayer can claim these two properties as self-occupied, however, the exemption would continue to be Rs two lakhs each for these properties. If you have let out one property and claim the other as self-occupied then you are eligible to receive a tax exemption of up to Rs two lakhs for the self-occupied property, and an exemption for the amount that is paid towards the interest on the second property that is let out. This will clearly help you save on taxes, and build assets for the future.
