Used 1 year to do strictly business and made sure I saved money for the project

Started and finished it in 4 months (1 storey)

Oga can you kindly share some of the business you did and I will appreciate, at times, there is capital.. but not what is resourceful.

Thanks

Henix:

Again I will say it one more time!

The obsession to "build" house and be called landlord or home owner is one of the major reasons many Nigerians are stagnant in life.

You toil for 10yrs and finally make your first 10 to 100million naira and the first thing that tops your agenda is to start building a house. Then you Bury all the money in the ground reverting to square 1.

That money is supposed to be your capital, you're supposed to put it back to wherever you got it from for profit or you can reinvest it somewhere else.

Then when your profit grows big you can upgrade your cars and maybe start building a house.

I currently own duplexes across 3 states mostly in Lagos and my home state, I didn't achieve that with my first breakthrough, I did it after lots of reinvestment.

If you want to go far in life, follow this simple logic, don't let the standards set by society control your money.

Hello Nairalanders, trust you are doing fine.

I will like you to share your experience with us on how you were able to fund the building of your first duplex, from land acquisition to building, to finishing. How many bedroom, how many suspended floors, what kind of finishing, and in what part of the country?

How much did the entire project cost? Did you take a loan? If yes, what was the percentage interest per annum?

How long did the project take from start to finish?

Nairaland Mod please help push to front page

All I can say is, thanks to Seun Osewa for his Nairaland Ideas. It's has been able to help so many people, including me in one way or the other. Amazingly, not many people have been asked to appreciate this guy since I've joined NL and been reading people's comments. I commend your effort Seun. From start to finish, all the workers I engaged were sourced from NL. They're professional to the core. Mine was 5 bedroom with a BQ at the back, state of the art. Nigerians are so talented. I wouldn't say how much it cost me but it took me 2 years plus to finish it. I was just taking my time. A plot of land cost me 20m. The art work was superb and my living room is like a recording studio. I adorned it with artwork including my TV board.

My advice...pls don't engage Nigerians for your POP. Engage togolese or benennois if you can reach them. Most of our people who claim to be pop experts do use them as workers after collecting the job. When it comes to neatness and straight edges with state of the art designs, give it to them, same as your window recess and art work. A friend of mine working in the oil company didn't hesitate to ask for the numbers of those who worked on my site in a hurry when he saw what they did during his visit.

Masons were so good, from Ibadan. My parapets are wonderful, 2 layers with the water collector covering the 3rd one slightly. My carpenter is superb. If you look at my gerard roof, you'd not see any bent portion...very straight and that's as a result of good carpentry job. We got our woods for carcas from the Ikirun forest in Osun. The carpenter went there himself spending 5 days. He's from that side too. My architect is a member of NL too, a fresh graduate that time whose mouth wasn't too wide. I got his contact from this amazing forum.

Thanks once again Seun. You deserve a gift from me . You saved me a lot

They will not listen ooo.

Many will build a house that the monthly maintenance is even beyond their yearly cashflow🤣🤣🤣
Later that will be blaming innocent "village people"🙄

Even if you must build, build a commercial building, you still be landlord.
No be every landlord dey live for im own house.

A senior colleague of mine bought an owner occupier house in Abuja during OBJ time. Oga retired and move down to Ibadan few years ago, rented out his 3 bedroom house in Abuja for N1.8m/year and now he too is a tenant in a 5 bedroom duplex in Ibadan for N750k/year 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶.
Oga said he was advised by many to build a house in Ibadan from his gratuity so that he can be living in his own house too in Ibadan instead of renting, he told his advisers to come and beat him🤣🤣🤣

So all of una don build duplex I dey here dey play?
Dey play!

I bought my land July 1st 2021 for 6.3m, built a bungalow with a pent house and moved in June 1 2022, exactly one year.

Total money spent is N36,000,000

Used a contractor but bought the materials myself. The bulk of the cost was due to my taste.

you’re 100% on point but then it depends on the age one hit “big money”

If the person in question is young and single , he has nothing to do with building house first he should inevest more in himself and biz but if he’s above 40 with kids and wife, please building house is extremely important.

Omo,money men dem dey this platform o....God abeg o,I dey next in line for dat big thing.

Not really. some mistake some of us Nigerians make is thinking everyone must be a Businessman once they have few millions NO, Building a house on its own is an investment. Once you have a built house you have equity to release at anytime cos you own the house 100% unlike in the west whe its a mortgage. In Nigeria the equity of your built home is almost 100%

Born2conquer:

POP 1M? it's cheap

it will be more than that cus I remember I paid the boy 250 and I buy all materials my self , I have already made scaffolding to make it easier

seunaj:
Currently building one. No regrets but I wish I bought the next plot instead and build a super magnificent bungalow with ample space for grass and trees (nature view) in the compound. 5 bedroom & the finishing is a little above average. Decent, mature sharp and simple. I guess about 30M spent already. We're still brushing up the finishing. It may gulf another 5 to 10 M depending on specs.

Rich Boss I beg make I drop aza for small something. Wish you more completed projects Boss.

so you think building a house is not an investment? Look it is both an investment in status, savings and permutation cos houses in Nigeria increase with prices and you might just be surprised you present equity is equal to 150% of the initial Net.
