Selling off their Inheritance If the kids especially the Female which is Matured agrees to you then no problem. Don't sell it thinking that no other person is aware of those buildings which you found time will tell Cause "The Walls have Ears" 5 Likes |

I'm assuming the kids will get partial ownership of the business (you sold their house to start the biz, so it's only right). Do not codedly sell anything please. Get a lawyer and be legit... your future self will be proud of you. I say keep the buildings; they are already there, and offer guaranteed income - though you may need some way to tide over until rental payments become regular. Lawyer up, evict existing tenants, then get new one under new terms. TBH business will not bring money as reliably, nor as soon as rental income. People always talk about turnover - which is not the same as profits. If things costs you 500k, you may sell for 550k (turnover is 550k), but your gross profit is only 50k at best. After expenses you may find your net profit is more like 25k (5%) There are also sunk costs like rent, gen, or some other things you need to start the business. Lastly, if you sell the properties to start business, you may find yourself using some of those funds for their upkeep, and won't have enough to sustain the business. Not to talk of all the unforeseen ongoing costs and the stress of running a business. 2 Likes |

At 21 your niece is already an adult, you two should talk things over. Rather than suffer or not being able to futher their education due to lack of cash, its better you both reach a common ground on that but pls with a lawyer as witness. But l ll rather prefer you work on the current tenants, eject those finding it difficult to pay rent, effect some slide review if possible and see if that can boost the cash flow. Ur case is very dicey, those children may grow up hating or liking you depending on your actions now. Pls be transparent in all your dealings and carry the 21 year old along. Good luck 3 Likes |

What ever you do, make sure those kids do not lack anything. Make Sure they are well educated and well taken care of. You will benefit more if you do the right thing, because one way or the other, they must make it in life 4 Likes |

I'm a little bit confused here, did your leave any husband behind, at 39, how come you're the only one who knows about these mentioned properties? Is your family that small, that all the other members don't know and now you're the custodian of the 2 children left behind and also you're not married yet. Anyways if you must sell any house, it must be done legitimately and you must be accountable for every kobo spent. 3 Likes |

You need to secure all the assets and get those tenants out because it might be because they know the real owner is dead that is why they don't pay at when due. Plan out how to use the rent to take care of the kids and Hustle your own money pretending those assets don't exist. If you have that mindset that they don't exist you won't think of selling one as the only way of survival. 2 Likes |

Call a meeting of all the tenants and make them understand the condition you are in and encourage them to pay up whatever they owe promptly else you evict them. Don't try to sell any of the properties else you will become addicted to selling until none remains. Encourage the 20 year old to work hard at school and help her gain admission in Canada or US through SAT and begin work on the 12 year old too. With the properties we'll managed, you should have enough to cater for them and try completing the duplex through partnership or lease... Don't sell. Ensure you satisfy the needs of the two children left behind before planning for yourself if you don't want ill-luck befall you. Avoid baba ijebu or sports betting too.

Don't sell the house because it will later bounce back. No matter how loyal you're to them some people somewhere will still poison their minds that you've sold more properties in their absentia especially if your means of livelihood changes so drastically to better. This best idea is watching them bringing suggestion after serious hardship with trials before you'll jump to such conclusion of selling any of the properties. As you've been told earlier, seek out for property lawyer to manage the houses for rent and from their you can make a life for yourself too in a little way. THIS IS ONLY IF YOU GOT THE FEAR OF GOD IN YOUR ENDEAVORS. |

Abagworo:I love to read from great people like this. Op, this poster just gave you a million dollar answer. Many businesses fail within the first 3 years of their startup, especially businesses started from the top. Op, if you haven't mastered any business currently, I will advice you not to venture into any now because you will lose the money. If possible, use the money and relocate out of Nigeria to Canada or Australia or some newfound small European countries where youcan secure small job to be supporting yourself and those kids....but you can only sell 1 of the properties only to put into this. Don't sell it to start any business from scratch, the money will go! I would have loved to help you with a wonderful business idea to venture into as a starter, but my bad spirit is telling me no....and if I must do it, you must pay me huge consultation fee because you will become financially free. But pls don't contact me, don't seek for my personal counsel...just take the one I have given out here for free, thanks. Wish you and the kids the best life can offer 4 Likes |

Crazy you must say I am. Plunge into the circumstance 1)marry the girl 2)adapt the boy 3)have a lawyer manage the properties 4)start small, also keep managing the money that comes from the tenants. Big cash doesn't guarantee business success 5)carry these points to any religious leader you're under to help you review and modify Doing the (1) will help you overcome temptation and make you more responsible. That number (1) pose to you/her an unavoidable pothole which you have to unavoidably do it the legal and right way.
