That's interesting. It's quite consistent with what I have in mind.

I have 2 more questions:
1. How much is the cost of that for you, in total?
2. How much is the total cost of the building?

For me, the carcass cost about 3.2m as of early April last year, so you'd need to adjust for inflation. You’ll also need to budget for the finishing separately.

Moderate finishing should be between 600-700k, covering interior finishes, plumbing, electrical fittings, and doors. If you're doing something more basic, you might spend a bit less.

The total cost of the building up to carcass level is around 40m.

Thanks for your advice, but what income-generating properties would you have co-funded?

For the one I’m involved in currently, it’s a two-story residential building on the mainland.

I pooled funds with a few friends and associates, and we partnered with a developer. We entered into an agreement with the owner of an old building, demolished it, and are now redeveloping the property.

My investment secures me the rights to one apartment unit there for the next 18 years. I can choose to rent it out long-term, run it as a shortlet, or even resell it altogether.

Based on current rental value, I expect to recoup my entire investment within 3–4 years. After that, it becomes a source of recurring revenue for the remaining 14–15 years. It’s a smart way to play real estate—low entry barrier, shared risk, and long-term value.

1. When did you decide it was time to buy your first car?

Later part of 2023. The cost of Uber and Bolt had skyrocketed, and I realized I was spending an absurd amount on transportation. It hit me that owning a car would be more cost-effective in the long run. Plus, it felt like one of those things you eventually step into as an adult. So, I just went for it.

2. After buying your first car, how much did you have left?

I had about the same value of the car left in savings. I quickly invested a portion of that into real estate shortly after.

3. Did you regret buying the car?

Not at all. I took my time to research and make a well-informed decision. Even though it was a registered (used) car, it’s been reliable and has had no major issues. More importantly, it significantly improved my quality of life—and even the lives of people around me. It’s also helped me save money on transportation overall. I documented my experience getting my car in my blog - that might be helpful. It’s in my signature.

4. Car or land first—what would you suggest?

I bought land and started building in Ibadan back in 2021. By 2023, I had gotten it to the carcass stage, then paused for a while. I recently completed it and rented it out. Funny enough, I still live in a rented apartment because the area isn’t developed enough for me to live in yet—even for holidays.

My advice?
Do what makes the most sense for your current situation, but also think about what will make you happy and comfortable.

When I started my building project, I was okay with using Uber and public transport—it worked for that phase of my life. So, I didn’t really need a car at the time.

If you’re thinking of getting a car now:

Decide on a budget which ideally shouldn't cost more than 50% of your total savings. If it does, it might be wise to keep saving.


If you're considering buying land:

If the goal is to eventually live there, be very strategic about the location.
I wasn’t as strategic as I should have been. I banked on the area developing quickly, but that hasn’t happened. People live there, but it's not developed enough for me—so I just rented it out.

What would I have done differently?

If I had the knowledge I have now back in 2021, I probably wouldn’t have bought land and started building. Instead, I’d have looked into pooling funds to co-develop income-generating properties. That way, I’d have recurring revenue today—and possibly the capital to buy land in a more upscale area.

Cheers!

My first interstate was 160km/h and last max speed

Interesting. With a v6 or v8 car? I probably would have gone a little bit faster if it was just me in the vehicle. A little bit because I drive a 4-cylinder. I mean I wouldn’t want to wear off my engine just for thrills of driving fast.

122 km/hr. Camry. Lagos-Ibadan, first ever interstate trip, was hyper-focused, had two passengers in the car. Quite a memorable experience.

Before then, I had driven the car in Lagos but hadn’t gone past 100kph.

On the evening before the trip, I found myself pacing around the compound trying to get in the right headspace.
I thought about all the things that could go wrong and how to prevent them. I probably would have been less worried if I was taking the trip alone but I had to drive two humans. Lol.

My most pertinent worry was the route which I wasn’t very familiar with because I usually traveled via train. Google maps app also happened to be glitchy on my dated iPhone and had disgraced me several times driving around Lagos.

So I decided to comprehensively study google maps. I took mental note of all the turns and literally took the entire trip in my head. Lol.

Apart from a minor incident, the actual trip went smoothly.
