How to Start a Real Estate Business in India

According to a study carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers, India is leading in the provision of real estate markets in Asia in 2010. This trend is due to a huge housing shortage in the country, which is expected to total 26.53 million houses through 2012. India is a popular country to invest in due to the presence of a large number of corporations such as Fortune 500 companies which will serve to attract more international companies to the region. This will in turn create the need for more corporate space in India hence, the need for more real estate.
