Should I sell my property at a loss and invest in mutual funds?

Transcript: Properties as an investment is a struggle and may not revive soon. However, if you want to liquidate the property there will be some factors that you need to consider - the quality of the property, age or location of a property, facilities available in the near vicinity. Generally speaking, you should look at an opportunity to sell at a reasonable price. And always remember that property should be avoided as an investment option. The reasons being huge ticket size is huge and poor liquidity. The entire investment has to be sold at one go. You may or may not be able to sell when you want to. Equity is a better investment option. It has a small ticket size, can be liquidated in small parts, and it does not require maintenance. It is also quite transparent and returns are much better than property.
