@egunmogaji,
I think emp.iree is telling the truth,a friend bought one in 2010 for $3000,I couldn't believe it then,I was full of regret because he told me about it then,but I was just like you are now,although then Detroit was bankrupt,so they needed people to wake it up to live,however the rule then,was that you must live in the house then.

I love to try my hand on one of those,if the opportunity arise again.
Is still same rule. They want property buyers to make it as primary residence. It's not too late. Someone just forwarded a list of about 2000 properties to me. I don't have their time yet. U just have to watch out for heavy tax lien. That's a killer. Sometimes you will see nice and decent properties for $1000 or less but if you research back taxes, f that. ...you will pick raise.

Question for window/door artisans.

I saw this type of wire mesh reenforced glass used at my Dentist office and I looked it up online.

Is it available in Nigeria and can it be used to avoid using burglary bars or it's not strong enough to repeal the opportunistic their?

Forget the concrete block that my Dentist used to build his office because you know that we don't use concrete blocks in the US wink

Nice, very nice. I also see siding.

So steel frame, weather wrapping, gypsum board, siding, the perfect storm. More grease to your elbow.

What are these boxes that I see framed in the roof structure?

Just as you've guessed Sir, those are meant for the water tanks(the Nigerian signature)

Exactly where I was going... I was gonna do that cost comparison on my own ni.

Hajji M.

Originally, the system was meant to create a safer, stronger, aesthetic, faster and cheaper alternative system of building as it's being achieved in Asia, Europe and America. While other advantages can be easily met, the cheaper part is a major challenge. Compared to traditional wet construction, a system that is meant to knockdown the price of building by 50% on the average, is now between being on par to an increase with same percentage majorly because our steel companies are not functioning, we export Gypsum and import Gypsum Plasterboard.

I find solace in the fact that we now have a local company that produces quality cement boards and sidings and majorly the fact that Dangote announced his plans to invest $4b in steel production which is a better news than FG making same announcement.

I think the system is much more expensive than our conventional building, the esthetic part can be debated.

The real solutions is the structural use of bamboo, stabilized brick and polystyrene construction.
Bamboo is a very strong material that grow very fast, I'd the right technology is in place like it is Colombia, hauwai and east Asia, a lot of beautiful home can be constructed with a fraction of what we spend.

Bamboo can be engineered to suit different construction, it can be manufactured into board, it can be treated to withstand harsh environmental conditions, it is environmentally friendly and it grows much much faster than wood.

Carpe Diem, my oga.

Seize the day and build even a one room flat to demonstrate this technology.

If agreeable to you guys I offer part of my land and materials cost for my Mai Guard house to test this out in Ibadan as a case study.

When the time comes.

So you are one of those Americans ruining away. I understand that. Dont take it literally what they mean by "primary residence". That's just on the book. You play the game or you will be played. Mine shows primary residence in their system but i live in NY. I am planing of making it vocational home when NY gets boring.

There are legal implications in it,hope you know that,for example,if you ever decide to go bankrupt,then since Detroit is your primary residence,so you have to go by their laws,that's just one of the many examples.

Anyways,if come across anything nice like that of yours,pls let us know.
But before that I'll have to go through their tax laws(Detroit).

And what state do you file income tax with? Though I salivate when I realize that some states don't have income taxes angry

But I suppose that one can set up an LLC to head this real estate portfolio.

It depends on two factors,if you are an employee,then your income tax will be assess based on your employer place of business,but if you are an employer or self employ,that's is where it gets tricky,e.g Apple,Google has been invading taxes in America based on the claim that their primarily based in Ireland,although,America government are proposing a tax reform bill which will see these fraudulents corporations with massive tax return bill this year.
