Tip 2: Have a team
Team work makes the dream work. To avoid real estate nightmares, it is important you have a team. As beginner real estate investors, it is quite risky to embark on investing in Nigerian properties alone. It is very important you have a team of experts that are knowledgeable at various aspects of Nigerian real estate investments. This will help you make sensible decisions and choices. It doesn’t have to be an expensive team of a consulting firm, architecture company or a law firm. You could simply just have a lawyer friend you pay to help you review contracts. You can also have a team of real estate agents and realtors, property managers and so on. As you keep investing in real estate you will understand how important it is to have a team of experts reviewing your investments.
Tip 3: Set realistic goals
After carrying out proper research on Nigerian properties, setting proper goals becomes essential.The truth is, investments in Nigerian properties take time. Successful real estate investors did not amass return on investments in two seconds. It is a progression that will happen if you set realistic goals that you review constantly. For example, you can decide to make investments in Nigerian properties today and wait for it to appreciate. Few years later, you can sell the land to invest in more expensive real estate properties. Better still, you can develop the landed property you got and plan to live in it or put it up for sale. Remember to set goals that are S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound).
Tip 4: Connect with other real estate enthusiasts
It is important to build a solid network of real estate enthusiasts as a beginner in real estate investments. Attend local events, join real estate investors’ groups and connect with thought leaders in the real estate industry. This will give you easy access to opportunities within the real estate industry. It will also help you to gain real time insights on Nigerian properties.
