For most families in India, buying a home is more than just a financial goal — it’s a dream tied to security, pride, and stability. But when you start running the numbers, reality hits hard.

Down payment: 20–30% upfront — often ₹15–25 lakh in Bangalore.
EMIs: ₹40–60k per month for 20+ years.
Total cost: Often double the property price after interest.

This creates a rent vs buy dilemma. Renting feels like money wasted. Buying with a loan feels like a lifelong burden.

At Owne, we offer a rent to own Bangalore model that helps you buy a house without a traditional home loan or heavy EMIs.

This page is a complete guide to home loan alternatives in India.

Why Buying a Home is So Hard in Bangalore

Bangalore’s growth in IT, startups, and migration pushes prices higher every year.

2BHK in Whitefield: ₹70–90 lakh
3BHK in Sarjapur: ₹1–1.3 crore
Premium homes in Indiranagar: ₹2 crore+

Banks require:

• 20% down payment
• A strong credit score
• EMI ≤ 40–50% of income

Result: Families postpone buying or settle for less ideal locations and sizes.

The Problem With Traditional Home Loans

• High interest — a ₹50 lakh loan becomes ₹85–90 lakh over 20 years
• EMIs lock you in for 20–30 years
• Strict eligibility for self-employed buyers
• Savings get stuck in down payment + EMIs

These limitations push many families to search for home loan alternatives in India.

The Rent vs Buy Dilemma

Renting gives flexibility but no asset.
Buying gives stability but creates financial pressure.
EMIs significantly increase lifetime cost.

This is where calculators like Rent vs Buy help compare long-term impact.
