Investment in real estate is Pakistan's top money earner; it always has been, and it always will be.

One of the most common practices by Pakistanis is buying a property when the rates are low and then holding on to it for a while.

And over time, as the value of the property increases, it is sold when the price is thought to be at its peak.

The reason for its popularity is simple; it is one of the safest investment options with low risk, you get complete ownership of the land, and it is an asset whose value is always increasing. And if you buy the right property, its value increases faster with time.
