    Build the relationship first:
    Real estate is mainly about relations, and when you get access to discounted deals, you can get some portions of the space for a reasonable price.
    Be creative-
    When it comes to being successful, you need to be creative with New Residential Projects InChembur. As the current market is relatively low so developers aren't that keen on starting new projects, but the market will turn in time, and it will be your turn to begin.
    Look for environments that create a good experience:
