I am not sure where you would get a house in Mumbai for $333 unless it is way out on the outskirts. You could share a flat for that though. Food is cheap if you like Indian food. Don't drink the water.

You can get 10 year tourist visa that is good 6 months at a time. All you have to do is leave the country and come back. It used to be you had to be out for two months but they scrapped that rule some countries.

Setting things up on a tourist visa will be a pain. Getting internet will be a pain. Better to split with neighbor or have Indian flat mate do it. Internet may go out sometimes.

Same thing with getting a scooter or car.

There will be a lot of tech stuff to be involved in though.

I can't say about Mumbai because I haven't lived there but in Delhi and Bangalore you can get a decent house in many of the major locations for $333 a month. You would need to search for it though because finding houses is a big challenge these days.

Getting internet is not a pain, it takes 2 days to get one from any private company like Airtel and about 1.5 weeks if you take it from a government company like BSNL. The connection works fine most of the time though occasional hiccups are inevitable in India.
