This is exactly what I did with my space. We converted the space into a pre-school for 0-3 years (runs between 7:30am - 5:00pm).
For the first time in many years, I was able to find a use for my gate house which now serve as drop off/pick up point for the kids.

The future plan is to convert the rest of the space into a Youth Development center

You can’t go wrong with daycare. Especially, if the directors are passionate and caring.

Bestest Buddy #1, I am in my underwear as I type under my carport with my Dobbies frolicking about with each other. I would totally loose that :-
Thanks Man.

Not if you rent it to a sexy lady who can steal your underwear to sniff once-in-a-while. smiley
Even with a tenant, I can walk around like Fela anytime I want... it will not bother me o.
That is, if not Option 1, then it will be Option 3 for me.

I will not do Airbnb in Nigeria in my personal aboard. It's a security risk implications to me.

Letting it out is a very tempting option but there are better options. Like you've said, loss of privacy and the risk of generator noise from the tenant are major drawback.

Consider a Learning Center (not a school), Maths and English, Sciences and ICT classes. A preparatory center for Test of English as a foreign language for those looking for Visa abroad, preparatory and registration center for Jamb, WAEC, ICAN, professional certification, Microsoft suits (Excel, word etc), music and piano lessons etc. Opening hours is 9-5pm and then you have your compound to yourself. We do this a lot in the UK. You will need to employ tutors.

Or consider repacking products (manufacturing). So you buy in bulk and repack into smaller retail sizes e.g rice, beans, Amala, lafun, vegetable oil, Palm oil, powdered milk, granulated sugar etc. The smaller units are more affordable to the majority. You will need to employ hands, all you do is just managerial.

These options are better than renting or just locking it up. Here apart from the income, you create employment, empower people and better the life chances of the kids in your community.

Great new ideas. Thanks.

A short-let is a property which can be let from a few weeks to a few months.
Just like an advance hotel. The apartment must be fully furnished for them to feel at home. Majority of the people using shortlet are the people coming from abroad, expatriate, people coming to a spend weeks in a particular location.

We completed a 3nos 3bedroom flats in gbagada recently and all are for shorlet. The apartments are equiped with:
Refrigerator
Washing machine
Cooker
Ac
Kitchen utensils.q

The occupant/s can cook for the short period he or she will stay.

Also, you must be ready to give 24hrs power supply.. although there is 5kva solar inverter installed in each apartments. The last time I went there the 3- apartments is fully occupied. You can have a room self contain as shortlet.

Okay thanks Sir.

Let me research shortlet. Or if you have time to educate us. Thanks.

Shortlet is reigning because it is an alternative for carrying your side chick to hotel. It was supposed to be completely risk free but then chidima and that super TV guy happened.

Also apparently during covid lagosians who must parry by fire by force were using Shortlet cribs to do house party.

@n3xt, I understand it's a public forum but could you please honourably refrain from posting until you sort out with somehow.
You generate emotions in people that take exception to what you may have done or who are passionate about justice.
In all of these, I still am not in a position to pass judgement and I am struggling not to use words that either party may read different interpretation to, but once you start posting, aggrieved people would naturally react and we would have loads of pages of the whole cycle of accusations and counter accusations that would make seiving through the thread for information needed difficult.
In other news, I really appreciate @ twinskenny, baba egunmogaji, elder jeff68, ever dependable hajji muftau, honourable Thenext for their kind words and commendations.
I've supplied @ PrimeQuay with paints and application has started. I would post updates as soon as I get them.
I wanted to quote the original mentions but I gave up after going back several pages reading through exchanges trying to locate the posts.

What if I told you I consume knowledge like no one. This doesn’t only mean learning about a thing but creating opportunities to apply it in real life and applying it.

So sharing and publishing those things I’ve learnt and applied over time is just one of the ways I preserve and enhance those acquired knowledge.

It is better you first look for a NEPA station close to the place first and discuss with them about supply . They may be able to be of help. With the current price of diesel, NEPA supply may be cheaper. U can also look into solar for light loads so as to reduce your fuel consumption.
To me it is better you sight your business where you are guanteed at least 12hrs constant supply.


Thank you topsy
I have been waiting for your reply.
It's in epe.
Those IPP
Are they in specific places or they can generate power for you wherever you want
Pls not this is not a big factory
Just a small setup
Where my plan is 200kva generator max
Getting 22hrs power supply in epe will be wonderful
The highest so far is 18hrs
In some places .

Connecting some load on solar will reduce the capacity/Rating of the generator.
All Light,
