Why is Real Estate Investment a Good Investment Idea?

Why is Real Estate Investment a Good Investment Idea?

Real estate is a great investment idea. It generates ongoing passive income and a good long-term investment. When compared to gold or market share, real estate investment is always a good option. Any investment requires patience and discipline to get good returns on investment (ROI). This is an option where there is appreciation in price with respect to time. Many big mutual fund houses are investing in real estate for better returns too. Real estate is always on boom. How? Any property you bought 10 years ago, will not stand on the same price even after the next 10 years.

Is Real Estate a Good Investment Idea in Pandemic Situation?

Each nation’s economy has come to a halt in this global pandemic situation. This is the most vital time to invest in real estate. If you can find a real estate deal that you can afford, is in a good rental market, and will appreciate value over time, you should go for it. We, at Protech Group have many residential projects in Guwahati and are in a good position with 100% customer satisfaction. Real estate consistently increases in value over time and outperforms other investments.

How GST Rate Influences Real Estate Investment?

Ways to stay safe while grocery shopping: COVID-19

Ways to stay safe while grocery shopping: COVID-19

When out grocery shopping, it is important to stay safe and alert during Covid-19. Covid-19 has changed all our lives in more ways than one would imagine. Keeping the mask on at all times is probably the biggest change we’ve quickly imbibed in our daily lives. Every time you step out of the house for grocery shopping or run other errands during Covid-19, you are at risk of contracting the disease. Here are some quick tips to keep in mind and practice to stay safe and healthy.

Maintain distance

 Your biggest risk of contraction is from other people who may be releasing virus laden droplets when they sneeze, talk, cough or breathe too close to you. While the mask works more for the protection of those around you than your own, it is a good practise to have a soft barrier that helps filter what you inhale to some extent.

Sanitize

High touch surfaces like door handles, card payment machines, shopping baskets, etc. may be your second biggest risk. Sanitize your hands before and after touching them not only after. Doing so will help others around you stay safe too. Practising good hand hygiene is absolutely the most vital step in staying safe. Wash your hands thoroughly when you get home.

Leave your phone alone

We are so attuned to checking our phones all the time that we mindlessly do so without realizing it. Leave the phone at home, in the car or in your pocket/bag. A phone’s surface is a hot zone for you personally. Best to avoid touching it when you’re grocery shopping.

Clean your shopping bags

When was the last time you cleaned your thaela? When using reusable shopping bags, you need to wash them often. This is also for the safety of those bagging your grocery items. It is easy to ignore how filthy our bags get. Don’t forget to throw your cloth bags in the machine regularly, wash them together and separate from your usual laundry.

Wash your veggies

Wash your fruits and veggies in lukewarm water. Let them sit in it for 15 minutes with some salt. Then rinse under running water. Adding salt to lukewarm water is a great practise. Try it yourself and see, it draws more gunk and dirt off them and also helps conserve water.

To wipe or not?

Wiping packets down with sanitizers may or may not work. According to New England Journal of Medicine, experts say that the virus can live up to 24 hours on cardboard and 72 hours on plastic or stainless steel, although it decays exponentially. These are findings from controlled laboratory settings. It is best to always wash your hands with soap thoroughly after touching any items.

Avoid touching your face when you’re out. Sanitize your hands after touching high traffic spots often. Try to wipe down your card and wallet after payment. Always stay alert. We deeply care for your safety and well-being here at Protech Group. We’re taking special care at our offices and projects to ensure sanitized spaces. As one of the leading real estate developers in Guwahati, we’re constantly updating our tech and procedures to keep up with the changing times.  You can also visit our projects virtually with 3D demos.

Wet or Dry? How to segregate and manage waste.

Wet or Dry? How to segregate and manage waste.

What is wet and dry waste? How do you segregate and manage waste? These are important questions you should be asking if you don’t already know. At Protech we take our responsibility towards the environment seriously and have wet and dry waste bins at our residential projects. Here’s a quick guide to waste management.

Your mantra should be ‘want not, waste not’. Luckily, growing up in an average Indian household we all have hands on experience in reduced consumption, reusing and upcycling whatever we bring into our homes. This will go a long way in helping us reduce toxic waste that takes a long time to decompose.

Wet or Dry waste?

How do you identify what goes into the wet waste bin and what goes into the dry waste bin? It’s pretty simple really.

Wet waste is all the kitchen waste that we produce. This can include vegetable peels, used tea, fruits, leftovers, etc. These are basically biodegradable organic waste that can also be composted.  

Dry waste comprises of things like paper, glass, plastic, cardboard, Styrofoam, rubber, metal, food packaging material, etc. Even milk cartons and packets go into a dry waste bin. But, one must rinse and dry these before you put them in the bin. Make sure whatever dry waste you discard is actually dry. Soiled packaging waste in this bin is a big no. It only takes a few seconds to rinse out milk and food residues. For things like pizza cardboard box that you cannot rinse, use a wet cloth to wipe and clean. If you don’t do it, it will stink and attract insects and cannot be recycled easily. It’s a habit one needs to cultivate. It might seem annoying at first but then it will come to you naturally. Do your bit for mother earth.

Dry waste is recyclable but will be rejected if it is contaminated or soiled. Wet waste is used for composting. Segregation of wet and dry waste is important because dry waste needs to be uncontaminated for it to be recycled.

Sanitary waste

Sanitary napkins, hair, nails, condoms, anything with bodily fluids, etc. should be wrapped in a newspaper and marked with a red cross. You can use a sketch or ink pen, and hand it over to waste collectors.

Why should you do it?

Why not? We generate approximately 36.5 tonnes of municipal solid waste in India annually. This is later dumped into landfills which wreaks havoc on the environment, and can also reach your food. We must reduce waste and contribute to composting and recycling. The best way to segregate waste is at home even before it reaches the appointed garbage collectors. Imagine the difficulties garbage workers face when we carelessly dump all our waste and they must sort it manually fishing through stinking waste. Be considerate of your fellow human beings and the planet.

Try and reuse plastic bags as much as you can. Carry bags for your purchases to the market. Invest in reusable vegetable bags to easily store your veggies. You can also carry them to the market and ask the vendor to put your purchase in the bag directly instead of a polythene packet. Avoid single use plastics as much as you can. Carry a mug/ bottle at all times. Avoid buying single use water bottles. There is a climate emergency, we must pay attention for the sake of our own well-being and that of our children’s. All our residential projects now have wet and dry waste segregation bins. Here is a link to our latest residential projects – https://protechgroup.in/protech-residential-project.php
