Bosede Olusola-Obasa: TALE of a REAL ESTATE
ILLITERATE
This is not my regular serving to my dear
facebook friends on a Monday; but I had to
respond to the moral burden to share with you
my personal story.
Please learn the lessons and take the right
decisions TODAY! When this is done, I will feel
satisfied that I have added value to your life and
THAT’S CHARACTER!
Many of you already know that I worked with a
well-paying media house for over one decade
(specifically between the ages 25-39), before
resigning to pursue my dream – character
training, consultancy and advocacy.
I, however, want to tell you today something that
I didn’t get right as an employee of that
organisation; please follow my thoughts with an
open mind because I don’t want you to fall into
the same condition.
I WAS A STARK REAL ESTATE ILLITERATE FOR
LONG, THOUGH FINANCIALLY EDUCATED!
One fateful day in 2011, a very good friend and
colleague (names withheld), informed me that
her family would soon relocate to the house they
had built.
I was glad to hear the news but also stupefied. I
wondered how a colleague who worked as a
Desktop Department seemed smarter than a
reporter.
She asked if I was already doing something
about that too but my answer was NO; she felt
disappointed and educated me on the importance
of investing in real estate. I later found out that
virtually everyone in that department already
moved or where in the process of moving into
their own homes. That couldn’t be said of many
reporters like me then – and those who knew
better, only took the step after they had risen to
key positions.
Yes, we invested in different platforms, but they
seemed to understand real estate better.
I eventually became literate and started investing
in lands too; I wish that I started earlier.
Please learn from these illiterate mindsets that
initially worked against me:
1. As an engaged single, working class lady I had
thought that owning a land could be an affront!
*I later realised, howbeit too late, that it wasn’t
true! Investing in plots of land is just the same
as any other investments that I was already a
part of! So, just anybody who can save money
can own a land.
2. After marriage, we wanted to wait until there
was enough cash to buy a land and build in the
city centre.
*We realised much later that we didn’t have to
live in the ‘bush’ where we owned the land –
that owning one in the ‘bush’ was better than not
having any. To bring this point home: Last week
a family friend visited me in the office and I was
sharing with him the ‘real estate gospel’. He told
me something that set me thinking again – he
said that he recently stumbled on a receipt
showing that a particular plot of land was bought
at N5,000 in Satellite Town, Festac area, Lagos,
in the late eighties. Today, he said, a plot in that
same vicinity goes for a minimum of N20million
naira! Many of you knew when Akowonjo was a
bush and you disdained investing in it. That is
the true story of real estate investment. Back to
my lessons:
3. At other times, my family thought that buying
a land required an outright bulk payment, so we
concentrated on other things first, hoping that
owning a house could come on later.
*I however found out, that there are credible
companies that allow one to own a plot of land
by paying in installments! It dawned on me that a
house should come top in ones list of priorities,
even before a luxury car!
I will stop my story there …
Now, to you my educated friends, who are still as
illiterate as I was, please note:
- It is not whether you earn fat or meager pay on
your current job that will secure the future; it is
the quality and timely investment decisions that
you make while you have the job.
- The end of the year is approaching, and I know
many of you are saving up some money to get a
new car to reward yourself, wife or family; some
want to throw a party for friends to celebrate a
new status; some want to travel abroad for the
festive seasons; some want to change their
entire wardrobe to conform with the latest
trends; some want to change the interiors of
their very expensive, rented apartment for the
end of the year and so on.
- Hear me now – if you do not yet have a plot of
land to your credit and you do any of the above
or anything in that category, you are still an
illiterate!
- May be for you, your concern is how to get a
credible company to relate with on this. That’s
where I am doing this, this morning. I
recommend Pertinence Limited to you. I work
with them and can vouch for their integrity. Take
my word for it!
- My dear friend, REWARD YOURSELF AND
FAMILY WITH A PLOT OR ANOTHER PLOT OF
LAND THIS TIME!
One for each member of your family is the least
you should do. So, if you have some already get
more, rather than leave your money in the banks
and aat the mercy of a volatile exchange rate!
- IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO START, DON’T LET
YOUR CHILDREN BLAME YOU TOMORROW, YOU
HAVE NO EXCUSE!
- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MEGA PROMO BY
PERTINENCE LIMITED TO BY AT HUGE
DISCOUNTS - Call 08170579767 to inquire about
