Building a Home Finance Platform in Days
How Taksh Fin went from problem to deployed product using AI-assisted development
The Problem
Homebuyers in India lack a single tool to check property financability, compare lenders, and understand RERA compliance — leading to weeks of manual research and broker dependency.
The Hypothesis
A self-serve platform that combines property financability checks with lender rule engines can reduce homebuyer research time from weeks to minutes.
The Approach
- 01Mapped the home finance decision journey through interviews with 15 recent homebuyers
- 02Built a property financability scoring engine using RERA data and lender eligibility rules
- 03Deployed a full Next.js application with Claude Code in under 2 weeks
- 04Launched with direct outreach to real estate communities in Gurugram

Lessons Learned
- ▸RERA data is fragmented — building a reliable index requires manual verification alongside scraping
- ▸Users care more about "can I afford this" than detailed lender comparisons
- ▸AI-assisted development made the build feasible as a solo builder — traditional development would have taken months
