i have been learning financial modelling and I don't understand one thing what is the use of all these financial model actually ? we never know how the market will perform in future so how do people actually predict future cash flow, revenue and all. no assumption or prediction is accurate so how are these financial models like dcf and 3 statement even helpful ? we don't know what decision the frim might take, they might take a loan or raise funding or sell one of their holdings. what is the reason behind all the analysis

if you check on linkedin you would see people with 4 internships working at a big 4 firm with an upcoming mba in US and people unemployed from last 3 years begging for jobs while both have the same degree. The only difference is the tier 1 and tier 3 college and who their dad knows. these 200 students from tier 1 are confused between their fav internships or jobs while 2000 students from tier 3 can't get a mini wage job. The problem is not lack of jobs its our overpopulation and collection of degrees from tier 2-3 colleges where attendance and marks can be bought from money. We don't have enough universities and even the best colleges offer bcom, ba and bsc as there only available course. No wonder we are jobless

In Delhi I know people who sold bought flats in Dwarka, south ex, gurgaon for ₹2–3 crore. I also have friends living in different areas like Rohini, Dwarka, vasant kunj and while the area has a good vibe and planned infrastructure, many of the societies are 20–25years old now.

This is what I don't understand. For around ₹2–3 crore, couldn't someone instead:

*Buy a 100–150 sq. yd. plot in a nearby area that's still well connected to the main road.

*Build a much larger independent house.

Still have money left to invest in another property or other investments that generate rental income.

For example, my family built a house on a 50 sq. yd. plot in a authorised locality with proper drainage and wide roads. The total cost was much lower than what many resale flats in Delhi are selling for today. We own the land and could even generate rental income from multiple floors if we wanted.

So what makes people choose a ₹2–3 crore flat instead?is it mainly:

Better infrastructure and planning?

Better schools and hospitals?

Safety and gated societies?

but you can get these same facilities just few kms away

I'm genuinely trying to understand the economics behind this decision. If my assumptions are wrong, I'd appreciate it if someone could explain where my reasoning breaks down.
