That's what my 'gut feeling also says: The situation on the ground can't be THAT bad! I have lots and lots of relatives in Karachi, also some friends who have moved back from US to Karachi. They have started businesses and/or bought properties to live in. I don't hear of any complain about their experience. There are some property disputes here and there but that's because of conflicting inheritance claims.
Anyway, to kind of wrap it up from my side on this thread, I have asked the family members in Karachi to look for a Rs. 10-12 million small, ready to move in house in Bahria Town Karachi as long as it's legally secured. I will need to explicitly tell that it will be mine, unless I croak! The property is to remain empty but they are welcome to go and party there on weekly basis. I will also tell them that I have at least no immediate plan to resettle in Pakistan but good to invest in a house in case I do; if I don't want to live in the blasted city of Karachi, then I think BKT property should appreciate considerably in next, say, 5-7 years when I will probably take an early retirement...
Buying property not the route I wanted to take. Some kind of sustainable agriculture or renewable energy business would have been my preference but I want the least amount of effort put in while having a viable and secure investment. Life in America is good but has it's own share of headaches. No need to add a lot more to that.
I think I have made a decision and will try to see it to some fruition. Thank you all! But you can continue to discuss your own plans/suggestions here if you want to, of course.
Hi,
Hope you've got great suggestions.
Wishing best to fellow Karachiite in his future en devour.
Once you're in Karachi, will definitely meet you up
@Meengla ....
I have a friend (been one year since I know him) who is involved in construction business. Commercial plots/homes and may also be involved in government contracts.
May be you want to inquire something from him?
If you're interested, I may hopefully connect you with him.
