Question: I have a family member who knows a large real estate developer and can help me buy popular properties at super low prices. Should I take advantage of this relationship?
Answer: This is a complex issue and the pros and cons and risks need to be carefully weighed:
### Possible benefits
1. **Significant economic benefits**
-**Save the cost of buying a house**: If you buy a popular property at an ultra-low price, you may get a high profit from the price difference when you change hands, or you can save a lot of money when you own a house and reduce economic pressure. For example, the market price per square meter of a property in a popular area may be thousands of yuan or even more than the price you get through the relationship, and a house of about one hundred square meters can save hundreds of thousands or even millions.
-**Asset appreciation**: Popular properties usually have a strong ability to preserve value and increase value. After purchasing at a lower cost, the value of real estate will increase over time, and the size of personal assets will increase accordingly, providing a solid foundation for future financial planning, such as for old-age care, children's education, and coping with sudden economic conditions.
2. **High-quality living or investment resources**
-**Ideal living environment**: Being able to buy real estate in popular locations means that you can enjoy better supporting facilities, such as high-quality schools, hospitals, shopping malls, parks, etc., to improve the quality of life and create comfortable and convenient living conditions for yourself and your family.
-**Good investment prospects**: The location of popular real estate properties tends to have high development potential and an active leasing market. After purchase, it can be used for leasing to obtain stable rental income and become a continuous source of cash flow. Moreover, as a kind of physical asset, real estate has the effect of diversifying risks in the investment portfolio.
### Existing risks
1. **Legal risks**
-**Transaction legality issues**: If this kind of low-cost home purchase is through improper means, such as violating laws and regulations, using internal relationships to manipulate transactions, taking bribes, etc., then the entire transaction may be legally flawed or even completely invalid. Once investigated and dealt with, not only can the home purchase transaction not be completed, but the person responsible may also face legal sanctions, including fines, imprisonment, etc.
-**Hidden dangers of property rights disputes**: In the process of irregular transactions, you may encounter problems such as unclear property rights, mortgages or other rights restrictions. Even if the property seemed to be successfully purchased at the time, a series of property rights disputes may arise in the future, resulting in long-term legal proceedings and economic losses for buyers.
2. **Reputational risk**
-**Damage to personal reputation**: Once the act of using unfair relations to obtain benefits is exposed, it will seriously damage the reputation and social image of the individual. May suffer negative evaluations in social circles, professional fields, and public opinion, affecting interpersonal relationships and professional development. For example, in the workplace, this kind of bad behavior may cause colleagues and partners to lower their trust in themselves, and lose some important cooperation opportunities; they may be alienated by others in social interactions, affecting personal social life.
-**Family tension**: This behavior may also cause internal family conflicts. Differences may arise between family members due to different perceptions of risks. If handled improperly, it will destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the family and affect the family relationship. For example, some family members may worry that the legal consequences of this behavior will involve the entire family, leading to fierce quarrels and conflicts.
3. **Market risk**
-**Price volatility risk**: Although it seems that real estate is purchased at ultra-low prices, the real estate market is complex and changeable. Even for properties in popular locations, prices may fluctuate due to various factors such as macroeconomic conditions, policy adjustments, and regional planning changes. If the market declines after the purchase of a home, the value of the real estate may shrink, resulting in the impairment of the buyer's assets and the expected economic benefits will not be realized.
-**Difficulties in changing hands or leasing in the future**: Market conditions may change. In the future, real estate may face insufficient market demand and fierce competition when it changes hands, making it difficult to find suitable buyers, or it needs to be sold at a lower price than expected. In terms of leasing, it is also possible that due to increased market supply and less-than-expected regional development, there may be a decline in rents or housing vacancies, which will affect the return on investment.
4. **Potential negative impact on the relationship**
-**Destruction of family relationships**: Using family relationships for personal gain may put family members in an embarrassing and difficult situation, and may also cause dissatisfaction among other relatives and friends. In the long run, this kind of behavior may destroy the original close family relations and trust between relatives, cause conflicts and disputes within the family, and affect the purity of family affection.
-**Damage to the relationship with the developer**: If this behavior is noticed by the developer or causes adverse effects, it may destroy the relationship with the developer and even cause trouble to the family. Developers may take measures to hold them accountable, or they may no longer be willing to conduct normal business dealings with relevant personnel and their families in the future, severing other potential cooperation opportunities or good relationships that may exist.
In summary, although the purchase of popular real estate at ultra-low prices seems very attractive, the legal, reputation, market and other risks contained in it cannot be ignored. When deciding whether to take advantage of this relationship, it is recommended to fully understand the relevant situation, consult professional legal, real estate and other people, carefully weigh the pros and cons, ensure that one's own behavior is legal and in compliance, and the risks are controllable, so as to avoid serious adverse consequences due to momentary impulses of interest.
