Love your videos sis! Very insightful and helpful for a diasporan to understand the market! All confidence building! No pun😂 GBN - (God Bless Nigeria)

[@Numbers2319]

I found this video so very much helpful. Will you be doing one with developers in Abuja? I am in diaspora and interested in Abuja. Thank you very much

[@meisterjide]

Essentially developers are suffering a drought and are looking to the diaspora to keep them afloat. If you have been in the diaspora for a while, you would have only seen the naira fall against the dollar so don't let anyone tell you now is the best time. When you have dollars, anytime is the best time. No sentiments

[@temiladealamudun5063]

True 👍

[@livingmybestlife-v6v]

Truth is most Nigerians are not trained to be critical thinkers. We are mostly very emotional and sentimental people , and that includes me.

[@ogaluzoeze7924]

After watching this, I would say there is no real estate business in Nigeria it is only buying and selling

[@joeb.1163]

With real estates in Nigeria, the more you look, the less you see.😂

[@remmyishola7882]

Exactly…the more you look..the less you see with basically everything in Nigeria…..will rather stick my money in foreign real estate and wouldn’t sell to go buy or build in Nigeria for rental cash flow or for resale…it’s a nightmare and the profit margin is not really guaranteed…it’s all a make believe nowadays like a scam with the banks and developers trying to milk the systems…how many % of Lagos population can afford to buy this homes except for the few get rich quick people on the street and in government

On one end they said the prices of real estate now are discounted from pre-covid. What you buy for $ 500,00 is now $250,000, yet on the other end they said real estate will never go below and you can't lose your money. Make it, make sense if you have bought pre-covid for 500,000$ and it is selling now at 250,000$, haven't you lost your money ? .... I don't know if i can trust the Nigerian market until there is a sense of direction with y'all leaders and a stable exchange rate..

[@femiojuolape2875]

Good morning sir, I believe you don't live in nigeria and there are better opportunities outside pls don't talk down on nigeria, if you don't believe in her good, but stop shaming the nation. I still believe in nigeria stop talking down and creating panic in the hearts of those reading

[@warrydud]

They also said this is something Nigeria has never seen where the exchange rate is changing like this. It will end this is chaotic times. Also you earning niara so spend and keep it in Nigeria. Cost of living is low goods and services why are you converting back to something else.

[@topmedicalshop]

@@femiojuolape2875 talking down and reality are two different things. I only repeated what was discussed in the video. The fact I don't live in Nigeria doesn't mean I can't share my opinion especially if y'all are trying to sell your products to people outside Nigeria. If they wanted only Nigerians within Nigeria to invest they should stop mentioning dollars and diaspora then we would not even watch the video. Y'all are just bunch of hypocrites that don't like honest criticism, e go better e go better being over 6 decades yet things keep deteriorating but you keep voting for the same dead beat rulers and thinking things will change miraculously. If you don't want me to have an opinion on your videos next time don't mention dollars. Nonsense and ingredients...

[@topmedicalshop]

@@warrydud what are you even talking about? Did you even watch the video , are they not converting back and forth during their conversation? Who is earning in naira ? Do you even know me ? . If your targeted audience are strictly those in Nigeria then make it obvious and I would not bother having a damn conversation or opinion about the video but if you are trying to sell to those that value and work hard for their money then be ready for informed consents and criticism...

[@valentinea-james4175]

Truth is if u are a naira earner, now is the best time to invest in real estate in Nigeria, but if earn in USD/GBP, anytime is the best time. Don't be pressured as diasporean

[@zai2.0]

I’m sorry I don’t fully agree. investing abroad is better than investing in Nigeria. the currency is not stable enough to invest. 2 years ago, the dollar to naira is N550 and now its N1650 that’s absolutely ridiculous. You guys are building houses in hopes that Nigerians in the diaspora will come home and invest millions but only come home ones a year for 2 weeks to enjoy. Nigeria Developers are not building houses for the average hard-working Nigerians. Also before you guys say I don’t know what I’m talking about I own 2 houses in Nigeria and what I’m paid yearly is not enough for me to pay my bills a month in United states. Great show but im not convinced.

[@Tseboy237]

Foolish way of thinking. The u.s standard is not the same. Yes you make more in salary but majority of it goes towards bills. More money doesn’t mean cheaper rents or less bills.

[@zai2.0]

@@Tseboy237 moral of my rant. if i invest the same amount and buy just 1 property to invest. i will make profit every months. if my profit is $500 a month. thats about 800,000N a month. and thats a basic house Oooo. if are a nigerian and live in nigeria please invest in real estate 100% but if you are a nigrian that lived abroad please dont. if you want to move back then buy a house when that time comes. they building houses every day in lagos.

[@radzakinz]

I'm pretty sure they explained this point of view. Nola said, use your Naira investments to solve your Naira challenges. Changing from Naira to dollars is an instant loss and it comes with a shitty gut feeling. I get what you mean though and I'm not sure it will ever change. Maybe the Naira will be less than 1k eventually. That's everyone's hope.

[@bettyangel7009]

I will not invest in Nigeria real estate unless I want a three bedroom house in the village. If you have an investment property in Ikeja, the most your tenant can pay you, that is if they can pay is 2-3million a year, which is the median for majority of the people, convert that to USD which is where you made your money, it is just pennies compared to the cost of buying and maintaining it, besides, Nigerian tenants do not have any respect for other people’s property, evicting them is a piece of work. Let those who live in Nigeria invest in Nigeria.

[@judedike761]

Sales men selling their product; hitting the normal buzz words and phrases. In my opinion, real estate bubble loading. Not a question of if, but when the bubble finally bursts, a lot of "investors" will be left holding the bag.

In 2019 i invested $150k in building appartments block,the renting is coming but the value of the yearly rent income is refuced to 30% due to exchange rate,we could only increase rent to like 20% but still the value keep decreasing due to exchange rate,only god knows which year i will recover my money back talkless of the gain. Sad😔

[@warrydud]

Would you say the same thing about a car you bought and value keep decreasing. Also in America don't forget you can't afford a 400k plus house, to acquire you pay taxes than you pay broker than you pay crazy bills than fix up. American houses has invisible bills with crazy interest. 400k becomes 1million after 30 years.

[@enod9746]

You build to sell, not build to rent. If you must build to rent, do commercial real estate.

[@remmyishola7882]

It’s going to be another 40 years for you just to recover your money back less profit….if you had invested your $150k cash in some certain parts of the USA real estate game, you would have made your money back plus profit in 12 months and just make more money back from rental cash flow monthly if you’re also renting rather than outright sale after few months doing fix and flip

[@remmyishola7882]

@@warrydud…bruv you’re completely wrong here on the American real Estate or Uk real estate game….you can invest $150k in the American real estate either fix and flip or resell and you don’t need to earn a huge income to do all this deals only if you know how to do it legally. I would be willing to mentor you for free on how to go about this in either USA or UK if you do have what it takes…remember you don’t need $200k/$300k or $400k to start real estate investment in either USA or UK and you can start making money back right away from your first purchase.

Considering that a lot of developers in Lago are still awaiting their planning permit despite having paid for it… Is it advisable to go ahead and purchase properties from developers who have paid for their planning permit but yet to receive final approval from the government?

It wouldn't be a good idea, as the permit can be declined or zoning modified, thereby affecting your property.

Regarding the banking finance the guy in suit mentioned. Which is equivalent to what they called mortgage in the US. This is awesome! I actually thought Nigeria real estate been had it because Ghana real estate been had for about 3 years now. This is really Good. I know couple of real estate companies in Ghana that actually have that option. You oay a certain % and the bank pays the rest and you pay back to the bank monthly of every 3months. It's a good deal. I have been looking for real estate companies in Nigeria with that option.

[@AO-dv4ej]

Sorry but anyone expecting the Naira to appreciate is wasting time and doesnt understand how FX market works. Its indirectly LINKED to the credit worthiness of country a.o., well ask yrself, would you lend to Nigeria? There is yr answer. Until we work out our foreign reserves and curb inflation, it will continue to decline. TIP, as inflation increases, this means the value of the currency decreases. what inflation like now and what the future anticipation? Its only logical it will hit 2000 soon.

Looking at the comments from people.. you guys better wise up and don’t put all your funds/ capital on projects in Nigeria with diasporas as your targets.. nobody wants to take any risk with thier hard earned money for a country that put them in the situation they are. Most of this targets struggled their way out of the country. Like you said you are either rich or poor. And what you are building is never for salary earners… my advice to you guys who I also believe are doing wonderful job should stop building for now and observe too.. put your capital back to treasury.. don’t go and be stranded ooo .. please safe yourself and family from avoidable stress.. which I believe the stress is starting already by you sitting down this long for this podcast convincing people who will never be ready indirectly to come to your aid on already invested capital and loans… remember when Nigeria mater hit the big fish DANGOTE himself, we saw him granting more interviews in a week more than he ever granted in his entire journey to the level he attained before 2024.

[@leoifediba3355]

Money invested in Nigeria tends to depreciate and loose its value due to poor government Fiscal/Monetary policies. To the panel member who talked about when you invest your funds in Nigeria or anywhere you shouldn't focus on repatriating your funds/ profits back is not true. Why then would a foreign investor want to invest in a place if you're unable to move your realized gains out of the country? Isn't the instability of the Naira the reason why a lot of Multinational firms are exiting Nigeria because of the constant Naira fluctuation & depreciation affecting their bottom line?!
