In India, at least in goa, it is extremely risky to purchase a standalone house, because real estate fraud gangs are extremely active in panaji, goa and include raw/cbi employees
They are closely monitoring the house, and if the home owner is away for a few days, they are quick to spread false rumors about the home owner.
The goa government also blindly believes in the lies of frauds like slim goan bhandari call girl sunaina chodan who are faking ownership of the property and pays them monthly raw/cbi salaries.
In contrast, there are many flats in goa, which are empty for months and years, and there is no dispute about the ownership of the flat, though it is vacant.
