Dear Forum Readers
I am living abroad and have plan to come back permanently (well!!!some of my friends calling me mad) Here I am feeling discriminated in every deptt.
I need to buy a plot in the range of 30 Lakhs. From options, I have:
1- Izmir
2- Bahria Town
3- Sukh Chain
4- Rail Town (a friend advised coz of location and less price)

I want plot in any of the above society advised by you friends in this budget and rest of money I will use for doing some medium level business.

I thank you all whoever give me his time.

I will suggest you to buy a plot in phase 7 DHA in about 25 - 26 Lacs, it would be best for you.

Kind Regards

well I am not your friend but let me call you mad as your friends do....I advise you to stay few more years abroad then come back to Pakistan, things will be much better then now, Inshallah, in Pakistan.
However you can buy a plot now for your future dream home. Bahria is the best option in my opinion.
All the best

All above societies are best but far from center, you can have a 12 Marla Plote in TARIQ GARDEN 30-35 Lacs and this society is very near to reach to center point.

Dear Friend,

I tend to agree with Rana. You should wait for a couple of years and lets all hope that Pakistan will be out of woods or at least will be in right direction by then. I am also living abroad for 14 years and hopping foot to foot to come back to my country.

As for the society, I would strongly recommend Bahria town. You will be amazed with the development quality, environment, security and facilities in Bahria. But remember, buy an on ground plot and never get trapped in installments or 'yet to be developed' options.

At the end of the day, its all your choice. Regards,

Humayun

Dear Bros Rana and Humayun,

I think it is too early to call somebody mad by only knowing that the person is willing to comeback to Pakistan permanently. You never know the situation or personal circumstances of a person. I'll just give you a simple scenario, suppose his/her children have approached at such an age that it has become necessary to move out. Expatriates have their own problems and few years difference in above scenario can produce entirely different results, for example a person can never come back to his homeland as children grow up and they never agree to settle in Pakistan permanently. This may not be the case for Bro 'Need Advice' above but I just wanted to point out to use caution before giving absolute remarks. Giving your suggestion, recommendation or advice is absolutely fine supported with proper arguments for sure.

Dear M. Ali,

I never called him Mad. Actually I think it is too much of a frank comment. I just concurred to Mr. Rana advice part ( which Need Advice ) asked for.

I also agree with you that everybody has personal circumstances based on which he can make his decisions. We should also remember that every decision is a good decision until it is proven wrong. I wish the gentleman good luck.

Humayun

you know better what are the variables behind making your decision to go back. If you have to stay only then stay otherwise it will always be 2, 3 more years and it will never happen
Rana replied on Monday, February 8, 2010 02:35 PM 

@ M.Ali I am sorry if you felt my comments offensive. But all in my above post was my opinion ( I mentioned that). One has to make decision according to ones circumstances.
Reason behind my above post was, I also have spent few years abroad and came back permanently last year in Feb. After spending / struggling one year, decided to go back, with the target of 5 more years.
Living in Safari Villa Bahria Town, now a days, atmosphere is great, I feel it is best for those who have come from abroad.

Dear All
Thanks all of you for your comments.
I said in my request that I am coming back coz I am feeling descriminated in this society and I am not a person who loves money over respect. I am bit Qannat Pasand person who loves family with just resonable living. This is the reason I am coming back.
2nd reason is my whole big family i.e. My sisters, brothers, unlces and friends whome I am missing here. Im getting good money but loosing all of their love. Rarely had chance to hello them. Thats why I want to come back
3rd reason: I am not allowed to buy any property here which mean I am struggling for money and will make home in Pakistan where I can not live and enjoy time with my kids....then why I shall do that? Why not to reasonably earn there, live there and die there in my own land.

My thinking is to have 10~12 Marla plot in safe and clean place, make a just good home and live my life peacefully.
I think friends are advising me for Bahria Town, then Izmir and then Sukh Chain. I will be in Pakistan in June this year and Insha Allah then will start making home. I have asked my brother to look for some plot in above said sequence in my budget.
I may ask you friends during construction phase for help of good info as how to do it.

May Allah keep you all happy and safe.

@Need Advice.

It is very hard to convince the people "Why we are coming back".

Wish you all the best about your "coming back" decision. Perdesi baboos can ONLY tell what is the importance of the country.

Long live Pakistan!

Need Advice,
You have all the right reasons to move back in my opinion. After living abraod for 19 years or so, I am moving back as well, and plan to move to bahria town. I have purchased a house in Bahria town. The living there is as good as living in a decent part of USA for me. When I read some of the comments, they sounded a lot familiar, as I listen to them a lot as well. You know your situation best. If you have seen / experienced good life in pakistan, you can never be happy elsewhere in the world, no matter how long you stay overseas. If someone has had bad experiences and donot have close family ties in pakistan, then they may think otherwise. Most people get stuck overseas later in life, as their kids refuse to return. So timing may be important as well. Good Luck.
