wait. U wan dey change ur house window and doors, or you wan dey change ur house roof now and then?

Cause I no understand the kind maintenance that will be done on a fully completed house now and then o. Other than sweeping ur compound and cleaning it

That’s why I said often
- there are always things that need tending to with a house over time.

Owning a house is a long term investment and a liability for your age. Land is better.

Do you have needs for a car? If yes, hold lands and buy a car. Building is not worth it if you just starting up. You will end up caging your money.


You can use remainder to invest in good stocks. Google, Raytheon and Amazon

You could also hold rare coins.


At your age, it’s guaranteed you will smile in +15 years and will have more than enough to build if you choose.

please I want to know more about google stock, Raytheon and Amazon stock

Such a fool to own a car and still pay for rent when you have what it takes to buy or build your own house. Use your head

Please go for house. House is an "eternal" investment whose value can NEVER be depreciated. A car can be
liability...

It's good one plans his/her life early enough to avoid story that touches.

Some of our parents never believed that the country will become what it is today.

My father told me how cheap lands were in the country when he was in his 20's. He regretted not investing enough due to shouldering many responsibilities especially bringing his siblings and extended families to the city. He nurtured them till they became of age. When he realized what's up, time has exceeded him as we the children have needs too.

Now, I'm asking the following question: between owning a car or house, which would you advice someone in his 20's to acquire first?

Both can yield returns as long as they can be used in the proper way for investment.

Can we have more people comment on this to help many who are still in their 20's and able to fund any of the assets?

Note: Some young folks are doing legit work earning in $$$. I have some techy guys in their 20's as software developers, Blockchain DAOs, Freelancers, Content creators, YouTube influencers, Social Media Marketers, 3D animators, AI engineer, Bitcoin minning. They evolve around tech working remotely. So, not all of these guys in their 20's are yahoo yahoo, at least these ones I can guarantee.

We engaged in a discussion where they raised the above question about which is best between owning a car or house at their ages.

Ask yourself which of them will depreciate in value after 5 years??

Which of them will give you more money if you sell it after 5 years of use??

It's common sense cool

Does that still demand him at his age to go tie down an investment that wont yield nothing till after 15-20 years?

That's bad investment!

Its a crude mentality amongst many who want to attain the "SOCIAL STATUS" that "I own a house"

If the money for a building a house is available, I would go for a house rather than a car.

Long-term Income generating assets is the game.

House! Car is a liability and has expire date.

Car can also sometimes be an asset. For instance, if you want to go for some contracts, they might measure your worth through the kind of car you drive. They wont follow you to see the kind of house you live in.

It depends on whichever applies to your case.

How does house/property tie up investment? What investments can you do in Naija that has ROI bigger than inflation rate of 20%?
A house that can be rented brings in dual income-.rent and asset appreciation and can also be borrowed against. Tell me how many investments in Naija can be collateralized.. like a property.

Na me suppose give u advice.

Money for Car in your 20s is far cheap than saying you want to build a house, thats why most people buy cars first. You don’t want to go to real estate at that stages, return are too slow and it not a near money and u can easily get scam. it too early. at your 20 buying a car less than 7m is the best, but u can’t have 7m and said u want to use the money to build house unless u have a high income.

it will take more than 50m to build 4 bedroom duplex and upto 25m to finish 3bedrrom bungalow. Do you have that money in cash in your account ? I don’t think so but your income stream might be enough in future.

So having 10million now and u buy a car of 4m and buy a land of 4m and as u keep getting more money u keep spending it on your house. in two years, u would have gone far. i live in Abuja, and in Abuja now, 90% of land u can buy are estate land and 4 million naira will get u a land inside a Luxury estate in developing area. by the time u finish the house in 2-3 years the place would have develop and by 10years. the whole area will be very luxury neighborhood

i bought my first car when i was in 300level in university for 4.5m and bought a land 2 month later for 6m.

1 year later, the house is in roofing level.

exactly 2 years later, i was doing the concrete stamp and


currently living in my house now

No matter what you do. Don't allow anyone to put you under pressure and don't let what your friends and others put you under pressure. Build your future investment channel now and that's invest in rental properties. House is an asset car I a liability. Don't do big personal house but a moderate one. Do commercial houses that will be funding you in the future.

The both are liabilities;

You need to be financially independent before you think about getting any or both of it. Look at it, you're still contemplating which to be done first. What if you buy car and you think the money will be consistent and doesn't, how will you fuel or maintain it. So instead of regretting why you go for any of these at this time, look for an investment you can do that can make you more a humble millionaire till when you know you're financially buoyant.

I can't deceive you, none is an option at this point (not that you're small, but the money only appeared big to you).

Note that; when you haven't gotten any of this you're Hale and hearty, then invest with your money. You can't judge tomorrow by today (bóòní rí, ọ̀la ò rí bẹ́ẹ̀)

Let me do the calculation for you!

Lets assume you built a house for 40 million, and you renting for 1M per annum. How many years will it take him to recover investment and get into profit? Excluding maintenance.

Now putting his age into consideration, he is still at a stage where he can turn-over that cash than waiting for 40 years. That age also gives him great opportunity to take and spread risk.

the question u should ask is that money he wants to build house with did he get it from doing business,no,must u build a 4om house?u want to live in it urself, imagine ur landlord have this ur mindset u for no see house to rent,maybe by 2024 2025 ur profit for the business wey u put ur money no go reach u build house by then

Whether he is living or renting, he is holding money down for long.

But its my own opinion though, and not a rule of thumb.
