@robo23 Hey man, I have 2 flats in Bangalore. I really don’t recommend getting one at the moment cause the real estate market is at an all time high. Considering you’re renting, I’m sure you went through an insane increase on your rent as we’ll.
If you really want to - get it in yehlanka/ Hebbal. The up and coming areas of Bangalore- things might be tricky for you at the moment but it’ll really help you 5-10 years down the line. See what happened to Sarjapur.
If you don’t want to stay away from the city, then a rented house makes more sense.
There are flats in the 1.2 -1.4 CR range in Marathalli but the amenities you get slightly further away are so much better and it’ll all fall into place 4-5 years from now. Or even look at the outskirts of Sarjapura, you can get a cute villa for around 1.7
