lolz.. This is the main reason y nigeria is the way it is.. People dont want to take risk.. House is cool bt investment is better.. Invest in agriculture.. Or look around nd solve peoples problem then u get paid.. When u make more money u fit even buy estate.. And from the look of things i guess the OP already has a house.. So y build houses around like a bird when u cant sleep in more than a room??

He's got a house already, and building another can be a form of investment okay?

Investing in agriculture is quite vague. What aspect of Agriculture?

Like I said, with our unstable and crazy economy, you've got to think thrice before you take any investment risk

You can never be a billionair if you are building houses,house is an asset not investment,making 20k daily is better than earning 5million naira per annum
Even if you build 100 apartment block,a person who started business with just 100.000 naira will surely be richer than you at long run

Have u ever heard abt security of principal in investment dts wat u get more with building relative to other forms of investments. Building for renting is an everlasting investment dt always appreciates

Depends on how much we are talking about here. If you have enough to build block of flats in a commercial area good for you. You don't have to work anymore all your life.

The money you get from Rent will finish within 2 months or 6 months if you have several aparment then you must wait till the end of the year before you can get another one
Beside you can never get money to build an estate without investment,building houses is a very wrong choice
I'm talking from experience,they wont pay you and you are going to suffer,dont believe everything you read online about real estate,its not for one man it's only suitable for group of people or organization

D uncertainty associated with other investments relative to building for rentage is more. If I ve 25m and a plot of land in a relatively developed place where three bed room flat goes for abt 450k per yr, I think I will b better off with three storey building with 8 flats with dt I shld make a abt 3.6m per yrs or 2.7m per yr if 25m can only finish 6 flats. With dt my investment is secure even if olodo buhari remains President forever.

D first rule of investment is security for principal cool

I was convinced to dip into the real estate business a few years ago, and I can say it is not as rosy as people make it look like. the buildings have not intrinsically increased in value since they were built. tenancy is a real headache and even selling them is looking impossible. end of the day you have assets that are illiquid and are not giving very good returns.

Just imagine using the said amount to build small hotel,club or event center,you will be earning like 10 million naira per annum
Beside tenant wont pay you when you need the money and a man earning 200k per month will surely live a better life than you

lolz.. Funny though.. Well we see things differently.. But saying agriculture is vague in this century shows u need a lot of information. Agriculture is diverse.. Animal or plants both are money spinners..
Re: To Build Another House Or Invest In Business by Kobicove(m): 12:40pm On Aug 04, 2016
If you have the time to manage the business then I suggest you invest in a business but if not then build another house (At least you will see where your money is going).

Don't let anyone convince or confuse you into investing in his business without doing proper due diligence and background checks.

Also make sure that are agreements and payments are properly signed and documented even if you are investing in a business that is run by a close relative.

Do not invest in a business you do not understand or one that promises fantastic returns

Trust me, a lot of the people advising you to invest in a business here have never run a business in their entire lives

If you invest in a business you can't monitor on a daily business you will end up getting ripped off by you business partners...I have been there so I know

Only do so if your business partner has a good track record and experience in that business and is a person with high level of integrity

Op, if you have upto 4.5M, send me a pm. I will introduce to you a business that gurantees you aleast 250k every week. No jokes o, very serious matter. One good thing is not a sesonal business, from January to December you are earning your money every week for sure. Imagine if you run it for a complete seven years, and also expand as you earn. There is no estate you can not afford to buy at the long run.


Edited: Mind you, i said atleast o, that means it could be more than that. I just did not want to mention the much you can make from it every week, so it does not sound too good to be true!

@Jesona,,, I pm u already,, I'm interested in that ur biz if u don't mind,,, holla me

Stick with a proffesional advice and invest your money....house is not a business, its is like a retirement plan, and now that you already have one, all you need is investment not another house, and when you start making profit, then you can build another.this is a common mistake by we young pple, we tink having plenty houses is money, if you calculate how much ll build a house and all the rent in 5 years, it still cannot be compared to the money you lld have made in the same period. If you are building to resell, it is even far more better and that is called real estate. So pls don't get confused.
The question you should be asking here is, what type of business can you start.
My suggestion is this: while you are thinking of what to do, buy a land in a potential good area, fence it and put gate and padlock. Then leave it there while you keep thinking of what you can do with the rest.
May God help you.

Last time I checked, rents have remained the same in the past 3-5 years.

The probability that you'd get the exact amount invested in real estate in 10 years is ZERO (0).

Here is a breakdown:

If you invest N10m in a building, it will take about 10-15 years to recoup N10m (ROI) from the same building. Real estate in most parts of the nation is not as easy as portrayed.

With "ordinary" Treasury Bills, you would get a 100% ROI in 8-10 years without headaches, renovation, maintenance, agents, and tenancy challenges.

Bottom line:

It is your choice to make. If money is the primary aim, take your mind OFF starting another building. If you aim to help lives, build a business, touch humanity, and get your returns. However, if you want a long-standing and long-term investment for yourself and children, consider a building. Note that the short-term benefit is VERY SLIM.

A N5 million investment in Land/Building may not fetch you N200,000 per annum. That's a big disaster in the short term, but it can fetch your children N50m in the long term if, by chance, they choose to sell their father's property. The N45m gap is attractive, but chances are you'd be too old to enjoy such returns.

Building a house and business are both investment but one (business) can give you quick and huge returns while returns on the other (a house) is on a long term and gradual. Mind you, the type of business determines the returns. Watch out for the people with various ideas but for their selfish interest.

It's easy to say to another "take risks" after all its not your money. If this guy had a viable business idea in which he wanted to invest he wouldn't be asking this question in which case any risk he takes now may lead him to loosing all his money in a year (statistics) especially in this crazy economy. Let him build a house, that itself is an investment. He could always let it out or sell it when he has a sure business to invest in.

In my village we can sell house and buy shop in a market even without working capital, the idea is when you are into business you can build an empire. Sell the house put the money into market. Becareful, you have to learn marketing before you put money, if you don't know remain a landlord.

I will advise you to divide the money. Use some to build the house and some for the business. Concerning business; there are so many people out there looking to feed from others hard earned money without rendering the service.
