Melahou:Good...If u intend to build soon, i will advise u to engage someone who is likely to execute the job to give u an estimate, it will be more accurate or close. I don't think anyone will take d stress to do that here. But if what u need is just a guess estimate, for 4bedroom & 2 detached single rooms, u can budget something around 8m(na guess ooo)....for raft like u said it will likely cost more... |

GoodFaith:Yes, i sensed the difference compared to 2013. I noticed it is getting back on it feet. That's what i am waiting for though. So base on your experience shows you lived there before. Is it that bad with tenants situation or what?. I haven't rent mine yet. I keep is vacant till i am ready. What do you think about the idea of hiring home management company like Castle home management which just closed down recently?. They simply help people especially property owners living outside of DT. They rent and manage tenants and the house for 76$ a month according to Castle. Did you ever use this service or you have experience with them? |

GoodFaith:Wooow, nice. This better be your personal kitchen or for decent tenant. I was told not to waste money fancy design for rented building or apartment bcus most of those tenants in DT are not used to living in in nice building nor know how to maintain equipments. It is better to give them basics

EgunMogaji:Lol, you sound like "policy man". Texas is really a new experience for me. Something i didnt experience in NY. I was there last May driving around. At every 1 mile google navigation was alerting tornado . I was like 'ori iya mi o' especially at night on highway, i heard tornado is 5 miles away . I dont get such alert in NY whatsoever. My cousin who was contemplating relocating to TX was like 'this is deal breaker, i cant live in TX' 1 Like |

GoodFaith:Speaking about following tenant to bankruptcy court, how do you go about this?. I would imagine state law protects garnishment of their tax (return) needless to say filing bankruptcy. I don't think this ever happened in NY. Usually landlords let go of money owe to them or caught it in half but tenant must move. |

When it comes to Nigeria tenant matter, we act as if Nigerian tenant problem is horrible. I can tell anybody that cares to listen that it is worst in the US depending on states. I just loss a $400k house to the system in 2017. Tenant refused to move out. destroy things around the house and call the City to report that the house was in bad shape. All lies and she even contradicted herself in court. The judge just disregard that, gave her three months to leave and she was told not to pay me for the past three month she owes. Guess what, she did not move or pay anything. Then, I'm told to return to court to start fighting all over again after about 7months into this nightmare. I just told the bank to go get their house, am no longer interested. Went to court 9 different times and the judge that gave her all the time in the world now sees me again in another section, then said that she can not believe the woman has not moved yet. " That's not Fair; pls go fill for eviction" she told me. I was like God Fire your ass!!! I wish that money I invested in that deal was taking to my Nigeria. It will never be like this in Nigeria. I have couple of properties in Nigeria. and I have never have to deal with is kind of injustice. In all, Nigeria is a crazy place, but common sense still dey !!! Empiree: 1 Like 1 Share |

Rubbiish: I have been given an estimate but I feel it's way too high so I need a second opinion so as to make a decision... A rough estimate is not a bad idea |

true2home:I am sorry this happened to you and i am sorry for laughing but it is not a laughing matter at all. Which state this happened?. Look, anytime i take tenant to court, it is for Holdover (eviction). I dont take them to court to collect money. It is endless cycle. If you take them to court for Holdover case, no matter what, they MUST move. But saying you want to collect your money will complicate everything. take them to court and count your lost and save long battle. The reason my tenant stayed long for 11 months was bcuz that was my first experience. I didnt want judicial process. I thought i could handled them by persuading them and forgo a month rent. I didnt realize i was dealing with "profession tenant" as they are called. Attorney I hired was the one who told me about same people, that he dealt with them 7 years earlier. From The time i started official process to the time they were physically evicted, took 6 months. But they didnt leave without major emotional damage (they reported my house to the city over 10 times and city raided my house). Karma catched them now. I see them walk the street. Which means they lost their car and license. They do pass by my house (probably) think i no longer live their. They thought i lost it finally. |

This happened in State of Maryland, Greenbelt to be precise. That city is notorious for backing tenant. It was funny at first for me too because I was thinking the case was a simple one. After three months, I realized what am in for. I didn't want the money at all. I wanted her to leave but the lawyer said that the court will not even entertain that. The first thing in this town is to file for Non payment, then progress forward from there. The thing drove me to think of crazy stuff to do, but I no want go jail for stupid and racist people.
