I don't understand Nigerians who travel abroad to go make money so they can comfortably build and invest in Nigeria, and then start complaining that their investments in Nigeria is not giving them enough returns to pay bills in the West. Why are you planning to use your Nigerian money to pay bills in the West? Does that not defeat the entire process of retiring comfortably in Nigeria? Imagine someone who built four flats/apartments in Nigeria for say N30M, and can live in one of those flats and rents the other 3 flats at N1M per year. Even if they reserve repairs at N50K per month, this means they can net N200K per month from these rentals, if they were living in Nigeria. That is a lot of money for them to live on in Nigeria. But these people will be saying that converting N3M to $$$s is a bad investment because it's only $2K in today's $$s. Isn't that stupid?! If you think it's a bad investment, start giving away that your N200K per month to random strangers in Nigeria and see if you will not be called a small god in Naija. Mtcheeewww!

[@FloFinance]

That was one question i asked in the first car video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqeahoiVa7SiZrc Why would one's investment plan be to invest in and repartriate money from a weaker currency? It can't work. Any money that enters Nigeria should never leave.

[@clementinanicholas914]

Have you thought about your ROI? How many years do you think it will take to recover the money you invested?

[@alexconfidence2354]

​​@@clementinanicholas914 so if you get your return on investment say in 2 years what will you do with the house? Or you forgot that if you want instant return on investment you can sell the house and earn profit plus the capital? But rentage comes in while the main capital being the house exists and even after some rent you can sell the house for profits also remember houses also serve FOR as status and evidence of your success and hardwork not just ROI. Also if you build your house in high brow areas and tastefully built with high earn tenants you will recover your money in shorter period.

[@cmichael2967]

So you admit that it is not an investment but a wasted fund dug into Nigeria out of emotions or perhaps used to hedge life uncertainties. Let's not call it investment then.

[@alvanalvino]

It is a great retirement investment though. If you never withdraw the money from the Nigerian economy. You can live well on it as your personal pension fund and the property’s value will appreciate over time. Maybe in 10 years. It’s not a bad investment. Just a bad economy to sink the money into, if you are into business investments and you can run it yourself then it’s worth it.

I think it all depends on the currency at hand. If you make Naira, this will not be a good time to invest in real estate. If you make dollars for instance, it will make no difference because the reason why things are more expensive is the high rate of dollar

Hi Flo I have tried to open an account in Niaja but it's been impossible. I'm interested in the FGN dividend Bond.

[@FloFinance]

I don't know where you live. If you live in a major city or can easily travel to a majoy city outside Nigeria, some Nigerian banks have offices there. Click this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4GoeaCXaauprrs to follow the guidelines in that video. Still valid but now they also require NIN which you can also get from outside Nigeria. Otherwise, you need to wait till you travel to Nigeria to open an account.

Been in PH for a few months for paternity leave. Real estate is too capital intensive but some sectors (close to higher institutions) seem to make sense. The housing market is too small for those who can afford to rent. Why? I think because people who would normally have been building now, can't afford to build, and have to rent.

[@malcolmamaeze1014]

U can do real estate with as low as N500,000k ,it depends on individual pocket . U can even invest in Reits also. I prefer investing in more much líquid assets like TB, Bonds an stocks.

[@FloFinance]

REITs fall under stocks/shares and that's not what those people are suggesting. They were suggesting build to let/sell.

[@KingsleyMaduka-v1e]

Real estate is no longer an investment now. The rise in cost of building materials is not commensurate with the rent. FG refused to invest in mortgage and housing. Most realtors invest in duplexes and not low cost housing, flats and there's serious housing shortage esp for middle and low class. I háve been looking for a good one bedroom flat for 2 months without success. Govt must intervene before we begin to live on the streets

[@FloFinance]

It's not as profitable as people think. I said this in the new tenancy law video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYm2opiHfNiFgKs and many people came for me, even went trib@listic on me. Landlord go for duplexes because that's the type of houses where one even stands a slim chance of making some money. And according to real estate managers, the middle class (if that still exists) is less hassle when it comes to rent collection.

[@nigeriarealestatechannel]

I can help get a house. If you are interested in lagos Nigeria. Mortgage option also available.

[@MaxSteph-wb4gf]

Honesty, if l should be sincere with you , if am the minister for housing in Nigeria , l will never spent government's money building houses in urban areas because of these reasons : Corruption among elites. The rich will buy most of the houses on disscounts from government and rent/ sell higher to people or manipulate the process of house acquisition schemes which will no longer favour the poor masses. Again, investing more in housing in urban areas than rural areas encourages high migration to urban areas thereby leaving cities with numerous challenges and hazardous materials. Furthermore , it does not encourage agricultural production, rural empowerment and rural development in Nigeria. In Nigeria, i have observed that when it comes to government housing scheme and other benefits from government , government does not observe equity and equality and inclusion within its citizens that pay tax and build the state. When it comes to housing , government always think of civil servants without putting into account those in businesses here and there who pay multiple taxes to different agents of government through their noses. Finally, most of the money end up in the hands of dubious contractors who scratch backs with corrupted government personnels .

Sister Flo I have really missed your contents. This topic is very touching and it's a reflection of what is currently happening in most African countries.

Hi Flo. I came across your channel today and I am very glad that I did. Yours is very interesting and enlightening. As an avid investor specific to the western market , I find your positions very refreshing , illuminating and very logical especially from the perspective of the Nigerian political-economy and the social situations in our country of birth.

Hey Flo, what’s your opinion on the real investment option known as buy back scheme that guarantees 25-50% ROI (return on investment) in a few months to a year?

[@FloFinance]

The government that fixes MPR which is the basis for ALL ROI offers you 16%. In the same economy a real estate company is "guarranteeing" up to 50% ROI and you did not fling them out of the window? If it's returning that much, they won't advertise it.

[@RuthAde]

I have seen that advert but I cannot trust anyone with my funds anymore in the name of Investment I have been bitten too many times in my quest to find quick returns

[@nigeriarealestatechannel]

I invested in some, I have recieved 30 to 32% per annum for 3years now. However, I only invest in companies I am sure my capital and returns are secured. The ones with 50% are too risky.

[@alexolabode7557]

I think you needed educate these diaspora about the cons n pros of investing back home. If u do live streaming let me know to join too..Cos someone can be investing with hard currency into a low currency economy n still want to be reaping d low back to d hard. They needed be asked why investing back home, are u investing to return home soon, to return when want to retire, to invest to secured old age, to invest so as to be making profit out of naira, to invest cos d currency favour them or lastly to invest bcos some people are investing. They needed know d WHY

Mehnnn this recent hiper inflation and sinking of the Naira exposed a knowledge gap I did not know existed on this channel. I noticed that and made the first car video addressing those investing from outside Nigeria: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqeahoiVa7SiZrc Thanks brother. Live video is a good suggestion because they probably need to hear these analysis from other people to believe them. I need to find time for a live video because from all indication, we need to start from scratch. One needs to continually adjust his/her thought process to be able to invest in a volatile country like Nigeria in all seasons.

Thanks for your consdieration in looking into it!!

Investing in real estate (land banking to be precise) is not as capital intensive as you claim. You can get land for as low as 1M and spread payments for as long as 18 months. That's less than 100k in a month. You don't need "tens of millions" like you claimed.

[@chukaokolie6119]

It usually takes around 6 months to one year for properties to appreciate after this type of sudden inflation, so flow was right on buying lands and selling in a short term period of 6months to one year. But on buying FGN bonds for just 16.6% at a maturity date of 2 years, i won't advise my enemy to venture. If you live and earn in Nigeria, buy the dollar and keep. Yes, you heard me! Hoard it.... in 2 years, with the way this mallam in aso rock is going, the dollar would appreciate by 100%. This means your 2m would turn 4m and not 2.3m if u had but bonds. What am my even saying sef? After your stock broker takes his % we might be talking of 2.2m. Madam flo, I'm open for a debate.
