Why I think you should invest into Real Estate in Nigeria.

Image result for estate housing gif
In a society where making ends-meet seems to be a challenge, investing into sustainable businesses is a good way out. Today, business ideas abound and almost every serious minded person wants to have a money producing 'something' that s/he has control over. I need not say that getting money is more often that not a result of the value you bring to the table.

'Money is an end game of your exploits and the value you bring to the table.'

The Real Estate market is a business environment worth investing your money into as a lot of opportunities are in this market.

Think about this: Nigeria has an estimated housing deficit of 17million units, and  a 2015 World Bank study projects the cost of bridging this gap to be over N59.5trillion. You might say 'this is a big challenge' or 'that is the government's problem'. Well, I consider the later statement to be ridiculous; housing problem is not the government's problem, it is a social problem that demands the collective efforts of the private and public sectors.

I must commend the ambitious drive of Real Estate Development firms like Ifitech & Associates Limited, Brains & Hammers Limited and many others who are investing heavily into solving this housing challenge.

 However, you and I can contribute our quota; if you have a substantial amount of money, I think you should consider buying a land or a landed property, and if you don't have a substantial amount, I think you should start saving towards it- it's is a wise step.

Work towards owning a land, developing a structure on it, letting or selling it, and contribute towards filling this housing gap. Investment in land is never a waste.

Remember, money is an exchange for value, once you are able to create value-a product or service that people need, making money would not be a challenge.

 'You want to solve your money-challenge, think of solving the housing challenge.'

WHAT DOES MATTHEW.11:11 REALLY MEAN?

" Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he" The very words of Jesus in the book of Matthew chapter 11 verse 11. Growing up in an environment where Christian maturity was subtly related to how much material wealth you are able to accumulate, scriptures like the above were veiled from my understanding. The same is the case for many believers who knowingly or unknowingly have supposed that gain is godliness. (1 Timothy. 6:5). In the above text Jesus was talking to a large number of people about John the Baptist (Matthew.11:7   "as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John..." )  and He reveals some things about the person and ministry of John the Baptist that without careful reading you might veer off His emphasis. It would interest you to know that in explaining the person and ministry of...

Deal or no-deal

In my short experience in Nigeria's real estate market I have observed that concluding deals requires something 'less' than the good certifcate, excellent resume' and the likes. Like I have always said, money will always exchange for value, not just that, trust also. Any prospective client that perceives value and trust will be ready to give you his/her money. So how do you make someone who has a 'deep-pocket' patronize a real estate product you are marketing? How do you make that rich guy perceive value and trust? TRUTHFUL AND CONVINCING WORDS. That's it! Words that are convincing, truthful and rightly communicated can influence the outcome of any deal, big time. A client may not know the value of a property until you explain, make him/her see things he couldn't see - the location, similar properties in the area that are more expensive, etc. Make sure you don't tell them only the good part, mix it up so that while presenting value, you bu...

Public participation influences value.

Value is a relative term. Someone has rightly said that the more people are attracted to something, its value increases. There's been a campaign about cryptocurrency (TBC, Bitcoin etc. You can contact me for more details on it) and the potential of its value increasing. The truth is, the value of cyptocurrency would increase as more people invest into it. Public participation is a vital factor in the value market. BigBrother naija has gained considerable relevance in the entertainment industry simply because there was huge participation from the public. Many people followed it faithfully to the end. This has increased its market value. The value of land is no exception. It's value is proportional to the existing development around it. Development is this article would mean public participation. As a place gets developed (especially infrastructural developments), activities in that place increases, more people begin to commute in the place. This is the story of Osun ...
