It didn’t start in a day ,deprived myself so many things just to get it to where it is today ,almost through though,what’s left is just plastering the outside and flooring the compound ,I saved for over 3 years,I said I must be a landlord before 2019 and thank God I am already,it just takes perseverance and a lot of hardwork

damn. building is not easy. especially the interior. completed my first one this year in an industrial area. built from mini importation buisiness and diesel supply contracts to a company. as a first timer there are prices of so many things you won't know. and you'll pay for your ignorance. them go chop you. stealing from site too. cement missing, roofing sheet, binding wires etc. experience was worth it. I used it to learn sha

now I've got the experience and next year I'm targeting another.

Can you please create a thread to share your experience to guide us who are yet to consider building a house.

Damnnn niggar

Still on it despite all my bombing and key boarding
Building a house is not childs play....let me share my experience once more....that shit ain't easy....respect to any niggar way don build house

Building a house is not funny and easy... i start one last two years because say i dey see small small boys dey build mansion for our area for sapele road, Benin city
As i start am na there i realize what have put my hand into
Initially i wanted a metro tiles roof and parafet abi na parapet
But as i begin buy steel rod and cement from foundation.
Shaperly na im i change mind say if i fit do am reach roofing level then na the normal roofing i go use. Buying of wood( plank) for budding and three quarter granite nearly give me depression.

Even up till now the building dey there. No money to even do the normal roofing not to talk of metro tiles
A real niggarrr is too young to die because of house
I can't kill myself. Make the building dey there
DamnNigga
Isoright!!

How you won tek complete the house wen you still dey find milf

Let me add my 2 cents.

When you want to buy a land make sure you are buying from genuine people

You can never build it in a year, ensure you have a steady income and money set put to meet the building requirements

Foundation first ensure it done properly, don't rush it depending on the area water logged area you need a lot of money to do a very good foundations

I built my first house with transportation business (it's a goldmine people don't know), it wasn't easy but today I can boast of one in Ikorodu, Asaba, Benin, Abuja and Ogun.


Its not easy to build, many that started with me, sold their off when they had challenge, or couldn't finish it up.

Please I would like to go into transportation, can you fill me in

Building a house ain't very difficult except you want a mansion as your first house.
One thing I've understood about real estate, no matter where your land is, development will reach there so instead of buying Expensive land with limited Cash, its advisable to buy Land at developing areas, lands in these areas are very cheap.
Secondly planning is everything, you dont need to kill yourself all in the name of ' I want to build House ', one system is to divide the work loads in section. You can decide to build normal 3 bedroom flats. 45 bags of cement blocks would be needed. moulding 25 bags in a calendar year means in 2 years you've gotten all the blocks needed, then next, you save up for foundation, sand filling etc....

House no really hard to build, na laziness coupled with pride make Papa Emeka still be tenant after all his years in the City.

Bro development never got to badagry.....

Despite being where the whites beached at first

Once upon a time, I was thinking like you, invest invest invest. But you should realise that after investing, most of your income goes back to house rent.
I needed solar light for my online stuff when I'm back from work, my landlord didn't want to hear anything about hanging stuff on his roof, I decided my personal space is the biggest investment and insurance against any shock of life

i really agree with you on that,I was still living in my papa house when my father's second wife chance me and my babe as my mother is dead I decided that day to build a house and pack out,it was August and I completed the house by 15th December,it was a two bedroom bungalow with all facilities inside,I am a poultry farmer then and I had roughly 700-800 old layers that are ready to be sold when the insult came,I sold them #1500 each and started the project without stopping,it was around 2007 when one bag of cement was #800 naira and one carton of tiles was #1000 naira.
