• Land use act(1976) Act CAP L5 LFN 2004: This is the most law regulating and governing issues relating to land/property ownership & transaction in Nigeria. It was promulgated by the then head of state Gen Olusegun Obasanjo on the 29th of March 1978.
The act vested all land compromised in territory of each state (except land vested in the Federal Government or its agencies). solely to the Governor of the state, who would hold such land in trust for the people and would henceforth be responsible for allocation of land to individuals or organization resident in the state.

•Land instrument registration laws: The law was enacted to regulate registration of instrument that are executed prior to and after the establishment of the act in Nigeria. Registrable instrument includes an estate contact, a deed of appointment or discharge of trustee containing expressly or impliedly a vesting declaration affecting any land. The law seeks to guarantee genuine land title documents that have been investigated and registered by the registrar of titles in each state of the federation.

• Rent control and recovery of premises acts: The rent control and recovery of premises acts was enacted in each state of the federation to guide and regulate all matters relating to landlord-tenant relationship in any residential property lease transaction.

The law spells out the proper procedure which a landlord should take in recovering possession of his/her residential property from the tenant after expiration of the rent period. These procedures are primarily spelt out so as to protect the tenant against that of the landlord.

A great number of people have a passion to invest in real estate but don't have adequate funding, knowledge and time. This doesn't stop you from investing in real estate because there are several ways you can invest without putting in lots of money, knowledge and time. Here are a few:
• Rental properties: owning rental properties can be a great opportunity for individuals with do it yourself and renovation skills and have the patience to manage tenants. However, this strategy does require substantial capital and knowledge, but it can be financed with a loan.

• Real Estate Investment Group (REIG): there are ideal for people who want to own rental real estate without the hassles of running it. Investing in REIG requires a capital cushion and access to financing.
REIG are like small mutual funds that invest in rental properties. In typical REIG, a company buys or builds a set of apartment blocks, then allows investors to purchase them through the company, thereby joining the group. The company operating the investment group collectively manages all of the units, handling maintenance, advertising vacancies and interviewing tenants. In exchange for conducting these management tasks, the company takes a percentage of the rent.

• House flipping: this is for people with significant experience in real estate valuation, marketing and renovation. House flipping requires capital and the ability to do or oversee repairs as needed

• Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT): this is best for investors who want portfolio exposure to real estate without a traditional real estate transaction. A REIT is created when a corporation uses investor's money to purchase and operate income properties. REIT are bought and sold on the major exchange like any other stock.
