Danube Properties
Affordable to mid-market, furnished units. Part of the privately owned Danube Group, founded by Rizwan Sajan.
My view
Danube opened the door for buyers who cannot put large sums down, and has a good record of finishing on time. The 1% plan is easy to start and long to finish, so the real question is your total cost and when the bulk of the money is due.
What I check hardest: The full payment schedule after handover, and your plan for it if rents come in lower.
