EgunMogaji: like the old saying, Information is power, Nigerian building industry needs total rebranding, and its my dream to see it come true. using the same boring routine every single day. What worked then on 7’s doesn’t even work on 7’s anymore, Let alone 9’s or 10’s.i don't want to believe in the old saying that Nigeria is far from modern civilization! 1 Like |

brokensword: @Brokensword am sure you understand my point that it wasnt to discourage you about trying to do things in a different way or go Yankee..it was just me asking if it will work in Naija or not. You guys have shown me it will and without doubt now I believe it should. This is what conversation should be about. We learn everyday. Abi? 1 Like |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Empiree: 8:06pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
EgunMogaji:Yea, sure. That's why one needs to do "Due Diligence" carefully before bidding. Interesting to know that this house had $3500 back taxes on it at the time of auction. All paid off now. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:12pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
Empiree: So the $900 title was a misnomer. I still continue to be skeptical at the $4,400 price. Looking at that hood in the video, even that ramshackle should still command in the $50ks But like you said DD is the key but that's not a $900 purchase. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Empiree: 8:21pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
EgunMogaji:It's 900 bru. You see the guy also was surprised seeing it. It was bought on bidassest. Sales are final. To be honest, it was actually bought for $300. $600 is fees and Quit claim deed preparation. Houses at the auction like this are quit claim deed. You own the house forever. No mortgage. Just pay tax to avoid red flag |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:27pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
Empiree: I'll research the sale price and post it later. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:31pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
Last sold price was $60,000 but not sure if it was this sale but will continue to search

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:38pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
I don't believe this ever sold for $900 plus $3,500 taxes based on my just cursory research. If push comes to shove I can always call an agent there but don't want to waste anyone's time since I'm not a buyer.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Empiree: 8:49pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
EgunMogaji:Lol....you dont believe ?. Well, i bought it actually in 2013. No worries, i got info for you to proof it. Man, you dey research ooo. you dug up the house info fast fast.. Thats my friend in blue jacket. We went to check it in April 2014. Yes, i bought it for the price in the pix

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 9:12pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
Empiree: I don't doubt the pic you posted but I'm from Missouri the show me state. Show me official escrow paperwork please. That will remove any and all ambiguity. Thanks. PS: I know that you'll provide the info requested so I congratulate you ahead of time for a savvy purchase. |

mufutau55: These are 2 bedrooms Sir. There are sections for 4bedrooms too. Estimated cost to finish(excluding 'foundation' which is a 'wet-system') for this particular project is 8m and 14m for the 2bedrooms and 4bedrooms bungalow respectively. A lot of factors can determine the cost also, like sidings, acoustic walls, armour walls, suspended walls etc... 3 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Empiree: 9:28pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
EgunMogaji:lol.... Yea, you dont need all that. Seller provides Quick Claim Deed and that you take to treasurer office to register in your name within 45days. You own the house.......FOREVER. I remeber they sent me escrow paperwork one-time and that was it. See, Detroit is trying to get rid of those houses. They are sick and tired of vacant and abandoned houses. Their citizens are not smart enough to take advantage of that. Folks from other states do. I do not have access to info u requested at this point cus i am not home. I only boarded it up for now till i get few $$ to fix and start using it. At least u own it for now maybe....just maybe the law may change in the future. Thats not visible now. They just want taxes paid. The hungry about that. NO MORTGAGE |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 9:30pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
Empiree: Okiedokie then. I did a little background on the bid company, not very favorable. http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/bid4assetscom-c208016.html Good luck Sir. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Empiree: 9:38pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
EgunMogaji:You will always see complaints about anything and everything. Even if you google "complaints about Burger King". I am 100% sure something would come up. I think u are in doubt.I am the freaking man paying the freaking taxes on it. God go fire them if they wanna do sh*t. My original name is already on the title/deed. I registered it myself in 2013. Like we said earlier, DD is the key. As you could see from the auction site, many were skeptical...thats why u dont see many bids. Sounds too good to be true. I didnt give a fig leaf and decided to just bid and won . It was after that I sent the guy in the video to verify it. I didnt even do much due DD. 1 Like |

Empiree: I'll donate $20 to your favorite charity when these two things occur. 1) post escrow paperwork showing the sale price and the title deed 2) post video of you or proof of your tenant or sale to another entity. Once again congrats in lieu of the evidences. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Empiree: 10:12pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
EgunMogaji:Alright......I know i have stuff they gave me from treasurer office. When i have the chance i iwll post it but i will erase my name. I know u so much doubt. I went to study the course in NJ with Tax Lien company....thats where i found out. They said it is not common and not many know about it. There are two of them. You can choose whichever u want. Tax lien or Tax Deed. I opted for Tax Deed. Thats easy for me to understand. Tax lien is complicated 2) post video of you or proof of your tenant or sale to another entity.Na, the house is still vacant. No tenant. I have to fix it. I dont have its time yet. As for video of me, oh well, i hope i remember when i go there again. I will shoot my video. But i took picture of my friend on blue jacket in April 2014. That was the last time we went there. If you would dig a little further, you would see more pictures of him around the house. I took 4 of them i think. I want the winter to slow down before i head there again. I will mention "Egunmogaji" to confirm |

brokensword: I think information is easier now, the Internet have made it possible to leaen new ideas from culture or society several thousands of kilometers apart. The routine are not boring but lay down procedures on how best a house can be built. Innovations are needed in the building construction section and these innovation should be aiming at reducing cost and building more environmentally friendly houses for our people. Some many iniatives are taking place in other third world countries like China, India, South Africa etc. I think that is the future. The question should be how do we build cheaper, better, faster, more environmentally friendly and finer. How do we build a meter square of a wall less than N2000 naira, how do we build a meter square of wall less than N2000. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 12:37am On Feb 16, 2016 |
@egunmogaji, I think empiree is telling the truth,a friend bought one in 2010 for $3000,I couldn't believe it then,I was full of regret because he told me about it then,but I was just like you are now,although then Detroit was bankrupt,so they needed people to wake it up to live,however the rule then,was that you must live in the house then. I love to try my hand on one of those,if the opportunity arise again. |

euromilion: Of course he's telling the truth. I have been reading the back and forth and shaking my head. So many Nigerians that I know travelled from Georgia and NY/NJ area and bought many properties in Detroit between 2008 and 2014. They have started getting the reward for their foresight. I thought about the same thing too but backed out of it. No regret though. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 12:57am On Feb 16, 2016 |
euromilion: I'm not saying he's not telling the truth and I think he's been very gentlemanly about my doubts. In any case he'll present the evidence in due time, if he cares, and his charity will be $20 richer. Sounds simple enough PS: Glad to have provided some of this evenings reading fodder coupled with neck exercises. |
