RETURN ON INVESTMENT vs RETURN OF INVESTMENT!

Almost too often, we hear about Return ON Investment... Except you are in the Finance/ Investment Circle, you probably don't hear much about Return OF Investment!

See ehhh, except for where you giving a free gift (or when you are richer than Elon Musk), your first and most important concern shouldn't be profit (i.e Return ON Investment), it should be getting back the money you put in (i.e Return OF Investment)!

The first is Profit (ON), while the second is to actually get back your money (OF)! Until you can get back your money, profit on the money is a mirage!

Nigeria Real Estate investment is one market where you can get a profitable Return ON Investment, but you should make due diligence in your transactions to ensure you can get the Return OF your Investment!

Don't loose your money due to some ignorance of the Nigeria Real Estate market. Get necessary guidance in your transactions rather than TRUSTING THE SELLER

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST THE PROPERTY SELLER IN NIGERIA (AND WHAT WHAT YOU SHOULD DO)

SINCERITY of the seller cannot shield you from the fatal faults of the 'product'. That's why we cry for those who simply do business on TRUST!

TRUST is a vital currency of the human race and at some level, you have no option but to Trust people! However, beyond Trust, there is a need to do your due diligence in certain matters like in property purchase.

Buying a land or building is not like buying a phone... It's Capital Intensive, it requires some level of emotional attachment and for some, it's their biggest investment. Therefore, it's important that your property purchase be with some sense of understanding of the Nigeria Real Estate market and necessary guidance rather than TRUSTING THE SELLER.

Don't be fooled by the Showman and Packaging of A Company!

A beautiful Website, 5 STAR Reviews, Massive Billboard, TV commercials and Spacious Office could be nothing but an INTENTIONAL Set-Up to defraud you!

As a real estate consulting firm based in Nigeria, we understand the allure of these showy displays, but we're here to unveil the truth behind the curtains.

The ONLY REASON some companies are "BIG" is because of people's money trapped in them. These companies thrive on the hard-earned money of unsuspecting individuals.

The Biggest Strategy used by Real Estate Companies to defraud buyers is to build a SENSE of TRUST in the unsuspecting customers. They exploit your desperation and ignorance.

Pathetic stories from Nigerians living abroad line up our inbox. Stories of people who lost their hard earned money while trying to invest back home. Kunle (not his real name for confidentiality purposes) fell victim to a company's smooth-talking tactics and ended up purchasing a property that was already sold to another buyer. We also have Jane (not her real name), who thought she was investing in her dream home, only to discover hidden costs that drained her finances. These cautionary tales illustrate the dire consequences of not conducting due diligence.

Property Sellers bank on this trust, and easily defraud buyers by:
- Selling a property to more than one person.
- Selling a Property that doesn't fit into the buyer's purpose of purchase
- Selling a property with undisclosed costs
- Selling a property that's overly priced (than the actual market price)
- Selling a property with a defective or falsified Title
- Including impracticable terms of sales to hoodwink the buyer

Investing in the Nigeria Property Market is highly profitable... but It's essential that as a property buyer, you have the necessary knowledge required about the property market rather than TRUSTING THE SELLER

2. Never Buy a Property Under Dispute: No matter the assurances given by the seller, never buy that property if there is a dispute on it.

3. Never Buy Family Property From An Individual: Infact steer clear from a family property altogether as buying a family property can be complex due to potential legal issues, inheritance disputes and property documentation challenges. If you must buy a family property, you must use a Experienced Property Lawyer to make a property due diligence.

Note that CHEAP is location determined as N100 million can be considered "cheap" in certain prime neighborhoods and N100,000 can be overpriced in another location.
