Please how much is the interest every month if someone invest 1m .Thanks.

tot:


The interest rate is per annum not monthly. So 1m for the year = 83k monthly.

If the house u want to build is ur own residential house, I'll advice u to invest that money into different businesses, u can multiply that money by 5 in the next ten years, but if u want to give it out for rent, I'll say u should build it.
Ur first priority should be more money. The house, if not for rent will depreciate but land does not.
Also if u haven't figured out what to do with ur life, I'll say u hold that money till u find urself


I strongly disagree with you, I doubt you know anything about property for you to say a residential building will depreciate. u should have said building to rent or lease is better as it brings income on a steady bases to him residing there. u know nothing about property and u are a bad adviser.
someone mentioned building self contained apartments and it sounds n it is avery much better opinion if the location he buys the land is an area with high demand for such housing type.
holding cash in the bank in Nigeria is not good enough so far you don't have any plans for it yet and the best investment in Nigeria as at now is property business. which i can vouch for you if properly done, you will come to say thanks n even do more.
but what do I know.

Don't build a house. Buy as many plots of land as possible in viable sites. You can sell later at a profit.

Well..... I wish to have friends that will allow me to squat with them and be making this kind of savings to be contemplating about building a house....

Re: Do I Build A Small House Now Or Keep Saving? by afroxyz: 10:18pm On May 01, 2020
Building a house is an emotional investment. It's just for bragging rights. Well, unless you want to sell it thereafter. If you are hoping to use rent to recoup your investment, e go tey. Buy lands and flip them. If you want to move it mast you can buy, fence then just start a small structure then you sell. Building a house never made anyone rich, it is biz that would.make you rich. When you have enough money just build.one that you and your family would stay.

N.B I hope you were helping you friend with rent. You can't have that amount and not want to pay rent or have. Place of your own. It's like you are taking advantage of him.

If u take away his current hustle now, dude will be so empty.

That is why developing yourself up to the point of having multiple stream of income is the best.

You have 11.4 m and you are squatting with me I will kick your ass out. Except we are in the same G Work... You have 11m and your are Squatting bro I don’t believe you. Come plain pls... Maybe you just pick... but remember d picker and the picky one day Egugun go enter express. If it’s legit it will multiply.
It's 100 percent possible! I remember back then I naija I had 1.5m in the bank and still earning and I was staying in a 48k per year house and spending only 4k weekly on food. So it's possible it depends on your priority and goals.

I am in a dilemma worsened by this covid19.

I am a graduate male of 29 residing in the East. I still squat with a friend, not because I don't have money for house rent. But principally because I have been unable to figure out what I want to do with my life, hence renting a house feels like a commitment that might get me stuck.

I always feel I might move anytime soon-- to either another state or abroad for masters or just practice of my profession. Note that I didn't study a STEM course.

All these while squatting, I have been saving via my proceeds from hustles.

In the wake of this COVID19, I checked all my banks and found out that money I have in my account has lost so much value given the dollar rate.

I have 11.4 million, inclusive of my working capital, plus a rickety car valued at 350k. Each time, I need just 3-5m as working capital.

It seems that trying to save more is false economy and might be counter productive.

NOW, I AM CONSIDERING buying a plot of land and erecting a small house even if it's 3 rooms. This, I think will serve as investment that will keep appreciating and also serve as residence.

Or just open a domiciliary account to hedge against naira fall and continue saving.
What do you think please?






Building now is a good idea due to the looming inflation, it'll be great to have hard assets, but hedging is also a good idea, provided you can afford to hedge properly, building is your safest option in my opinion.

How long would it take for him to recoup his investment. That is the point.

How come did he get 11.4million as a young hustlers. This not true or genuine because if it, he would have know what to do it with it.
Re: Do I Build A Small House Now Or Keep Saving? by Vicas2000: 10:26pm On May 01, 2020
What business did you do to make that 11m? (I'm not asking you to tell me..it's Rhetorical question)

Whatever it is..it's a cash cow. Keep your money...invest more in that business (I assume it's legitimate).

Rinse and repeat.

Most people advising you to build a house don't have that 11m.

Protect the egg that lay the golden egg. Feed it more food. Buy it a new cage. Sign up for a vet for it.

Don't go and buy a dog as a new pet simply because others are telling you to.

Use the 11m to sow seed in any Christ believing church...and you will see what God will do in your life. Or if you can't do that, lend me 2m to pay 3m within 12months.

You are either a troll, a thief or irredeemably stupid.
