Stumbled upon this.

I'd advise, you convert to rentable apartments. Not sure how long it will take you to recover your money spent on the project (Depending on the area). But one thing is for sure : it's an investment that increases in value, so you will definitely recoup your Money. ✓

Godspeed.
Thank you Sir, I love this.
We will work on remodeling then.

10m should be enough for remodelling and finishing

ADVICE NEEDED, I wish I can run this on a separate thread but it is what it is.

I started building this house on the first land I got, a gated estate in a serene environment but electricity is bad (once in a month kinda light) and the road leading to the estate too is not quite good though the neighborhood is the most populous area in the state capital.

The Goal deep down was to build the biggest in the area so it was a duplex with around 10rooms (2 living rooms, office, library, gym, and laundry room inclusive) 8 toilet/bathrooms, kitchen, and store. And by God's grace, we were able to do everything including plastering, wiring, plumbing, burglary, and window with the main doors fixed, and we were left with normal interior and exterior finishing. That was when my eyes cleared!!! I became wiser and I already have like 2 other lands in better estates with better electricity.

The house became too big and my taste changed to something smaller and simpler, my mind already moved out of the environment due to the electricity ish and how populous the area is (the house is noticeable from all angles and it stands out while I am just a single young guy).

That was how I abandoned the project in 2020 till I make up my mind.

I went there today and my mind broke, the property and the works we've done are wasting away, and my money is wasting away.

I need your advice on, whether should I complete the house (which will gulp 20M + in this tough economy, the money I can use to do better business) and rely on Generator and Solar for the rest of my life.

Or I should sell it and use the money to build something smaller and simpler.
Thank you to everybody who contributed to this. I appreciate every comment and I will feed you back in the nearest months on the final output.

Wike said PDP plotted against GBAJABIAMILA only for the top PDP members who plotted together with WIKE to betray the plot and support Gbaja.

Same thing happened in 2015 when ATIKU left and supported APC.

Wike had meetings upon meetings that it is time for POWER to move to the south, the southern governors agreed only for them to betray him at the primary and choose someone who is not loyal to the party

Ok. I get your drift.

Going forward, does your ability to complete the smaller project in the location you now love ABSOLUTELY depends on you releasing equity from the project? It is acceptable that your situation may have changed but can you fund the smaller project? If yes:

is it possible to rent/lease the building at a discount as is possibly to a school or hospital/clinic franchises as the location is populated? This is another way of doing nothing - the KASHIMAWO approach. Will the estate vendors allow this?

What I'm trying to say is situations like this are not binaries - either this or that. I will keep the property but put it in a usable condition so it doesn't go to ruins (that is leasing it out as is) and try to achieve my new dream and then come back to the project in the future. Hopefully not distant future.
I can build another one but my attachment to this is not allowing me to move on,

Last paragraph is okay if only we can get those we can lease it to. Agents work.

The estate might allow, depends on the approach

PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Born2conquer: 12:29pm On Aug 12, 2022
diordaves:
I think this is the information you need to reach a decision:

#OPTION 1
So completing the structure will cost 20 million. So what are you completing for? You don't want to reside there. Is it completing to rent? Can you find a tenant that will pay good money at its current design? Is it completing to sell? For what are you completing? You need to answer this question.

#OPTION 2
Completing by remodeling to individual modern one bedroom apartments. This is more profitable than the four flat approach. Now how much will it cost to remodel? How's rental in the area despite the poor social amenities? If the area makes for a strong rental, this option might be a superior option to just completing for completing sake.

#OPTION 3
Sell the carcass. Now, how much do you think the property will go for? You need to be realistic. The romance is over. Now is time for cold hard economics. How much will the property command and how long will the property be in the market before you find a buyer? At this point, then ask yourself what will you do with the proceeds of the sale? Is there a sure investment you will plunge the proceeds into that will fantastically more than compensate for the foregone property? It is a situation of opportunity cost and alternative use of money. If you sell just to deposit the proceeds in a bank, inflation will eat the money. At the end of the day, you will not have your property and you will not have your money. Inflation don eat everything. One the flip side, if you don't sell, the property will "eat" inflation and increase in value over time. You need to weigh and process these options.

#OPTION 4
Do nothing. In this situation, you need to adopt late Chief Abiola's middle name: KASHIMAWO meaning; make we just dey look am. Time will tell.

You adopt this stance when all the above options didn't make the cut.
1) I thought of completing it when I saw the state today, things are wasting off. Living there? I doubt sincerely, living in such a house would put me/us in a spotlight I am not ready for. Not to na talk of the fuel /solar that would be required to power it daily.


2)it's a populous area and the rent makes sense, no be sey road no dey but too much traffic don make the road wear.

My worry about remodeling is, won't remodeling affect the strength of the house? The whole breaking and joining?

A well-designed house for rent should fly in this area and I am also very good at branding and marketing since that's my field, I can brand it to be like where only the successfull people should rent.

3) the carcass is worth 30M to 40M, I will be lucky if I can see a buyer because how many Nigerians in this state can comfortably drop 40M?
If I am lucky go get it sold, I will build a simpler one with it in a better estate. No putting money to bank.


4) Yes, that'ss what I've been doing since but I believe it is time for me to make a decision

complete the project. That 20ml might not start and complete the "something simpler"

Another thing that can happen is that election is around the corner and a favourable government will come and fix both the road and light issues in the estate

somehow:
10 rooms and this was built when you were single?
Are you planning to marry 5 wives?

How about remodeling the house into a twin-duplex and either put them up for rent or outright sale since your heart is no longer in that area?
1)4 rooms, 1 gym, 1 library, 1 office space, 1 meeting/conference area, 2 sitting rooms. I was being futuristic when I started it, eyes don clear now.

2)Another person suggested turning it into a 4 flats building, but I just don't know how that will work since the staircase is inside already. My mind is on selling, but family do not want me to sell.

Thanks for the contribution Sir.
