My Gurugram property hunt: Upcoming vs. ready projects

Been looking for my own place for over a year now, and even after working in real estate, it's a headache. SS One upcoming hai, ₹2.74 Cr se start hai, but Hope Apartments, jo ready hai, ka kya scene hai? Under-construction ka gamble vs ready property ka peace. SS One mein possession delay ka risk hai, plus PLC aur hidden costs ka kya? Hope Apartments mein immediate OC mil jaayega. I know how builders play with super area vs carpet, but for my own investment, I need real gyaan. Total cost of ownership, including interiors aur maintenance, kis mein better padega? What are your experiences with SS One's developer? Aur Hope Apartments mein maintenance charges kitne hain, aur facilities kitni use hoti hain? Overall, 5-year appreciation ke liye kaunsa better hai for an end-user?
