I think your response did not address the key point raised by Zuraking. His issue is not that many rich people live simple life. His issue is that most people who work hard for their money don't spend it anyhow.



Do you think using #200M to buy a plot of land is spending any how to someone who still has much more than that untouched?

While it may seem absurd to one it means fantastic to another.
It is all in a mindset. No two people are alike.

There's what is called foresight and insight in investment.

If he doesn’t know what to do his money, in order to turn it over and make more money, he’ll assume investing 200m in real estate is a waste of money.

If I have 200m, there are areas in Lekki that I’ll like to own a plot and flip within 2 years.

200m is nothing bro to what people are investing here. I knew plots of land that goes for billion of naira in VI, yet people are buying and recouping their investment.

For your information, banks will give you any amount to fund any project right now so it doesn’t mean most of these guys dole out their cash. Even Dangote is collecting loans to fund projects.

I think this is kobokobo world so some projects will seem like impossible to many of us.
Come to skyscraper city and see how architects are talking about million dollar projects funded by banks.

So you’re of the opinion, anyone who buy a 200m land in Nigeria is a thief

Investment is not waste of money. however investment decisions are based on risk and benefit analysis. Do you think the risk and benefit analysis of investing in Nigeria real estate are better than investing in Tesla, Microsoft, Google, Ali Baba, Square Trade, sales Force, Facebook, etc?

When I did MBA in PM, the lecturer handling financial accounting said many of those who are academics find it hard to invest because they are always calculating the uncertainty more than the benefits.

No I don't think, However if you are spending #200m on a land you are about to build a billion naira house. To build a billion naira house you should be worth at least 5 billion. How many business people worth that much in Nigeria? How many of them is ready to take one billion out of their business to build a house?

To invest in Nigeria as a Nigerian is simply a patriotic thing. Like someone said earlier, investment can take many forms. Some investment are economical, some are patriotism, some are social development, some are egoistical. Not every thing is MONEY or HOW to MAKE MORE!!!

There is a saying that when you are looking for money and you meet Honor on the way, you might as well head back home because after you find money, its Honor that you will likely buy with it.

Lastly, please don't be surprise if Dangote becomes the richest man in the world when he concludes his refinery. There are ridiculous ways to make Crazy money in Nigeria if you truly believe in Nigeria and pay attending to the needs of the 200M people in there. Most of us are focus abroad, and that's why we think little of our potential.

Don't think so. With the refinery his wealth will be about $30billion

Bloomberg Billionaires Index which ranks the first 500 richest people in the world showed that his wealth fell from $18.4bn on Thursday to $17.5bn on Friday, taking him from 106th to 114th on the list of wealthiest people in the world.

“A $12bn oil refinery that is currently being developed in Nigeria isn’t included in the valuation because it’s not yet operational and construction costs are calculated to outweigh its current value,”

True.

That should not stop us from discussing about the worth of a plot of land. We all complained about the price of cement but that does not stop some of us from buying it when it was been sold for #4000

Thanks for this. If i pay my tax in another state and i have tax clearance, would Lagos state still insist i pay another tax because I am building in Lagos?
davodyguy:

Since you currently may not have a 'registered title' now, you'll need to get a survey plan of the land registered at the office of the Surveyor General, with beacon numbers showing, then hand the survey plan to your architect to prepare a drawing.

If it's a bungalow, you don't need a structural drawing, but for two floor building, you need a structural drawing.

You also need a soil test report. This is to tell you the kind of foundation you need.

Take all these documents to the LASPPPA office in your Local Government. They would prepare an assessment for you.

Assessment is done based on the gross floor area of your proposed building.

Less say your gross floor area is 300sqm, this size is multiplied by a rate of construction to arrive at assessed value.

The value in the assessment is what you'll pay.

You pay one to LASPPPA and another one to LABSCA called stage certification.

The part that out most developers is the tax clearance.

The minimum tax that LIRS will demand from any developer even in Ikorodu, Epe, Alagbado etc is ₦750,000 and if it's like Ikoyi, Lekki, VI, the developer can be asked to pay as much as ₦5million as tax clearance before you can be granted approval.

To LIRS, anything that makes you want to build means you must be rich. Hence, they ask for minimum of ₦750,000 from you, even if your land cost you ₦100,000

Give or take, the minimum to pay would be close to ₦1million.

How long does it take? It can take between 30 days to almost forever.

This is Nigeria, I must not talk too much

You pay tax to the government of the state where the property is located

If you're investing in Kano and you reside in Nnewi, you'll pay tax to Kano State Government, apart from the one you paid to Anambra State Government

It does thank you so much. As far as ongoing payment what is a reasonable rate to the property manager per tenant

Sorry if this is coming late, l have been off for about a week.

To your question:
It will depend on what the Property Manager is engaged to do. Some have responsibility to clean the compound, pay the Mai-Guard, repair and replace WHATEVER needs to be repaired or replaced (from light, pumping machine, Toilet, Soak Away evacuation, etc).

But the general cost per Flat ranges from #7,000 - #15,000/Month, depending on the standard of the building, some locations even pay higher and it is called maintenance fee. It is not enough to just give this money to the property manager, (I am against it, personally), you need to ensure they actually perform the responsibility otherwise you will have a lot of disgruntled renters on your hand.
