MAKING RENTAL INCOME FROM REAL ESTATE

For many, thinking of investing in Real Estate is a fantasy. It could be that the capital required for such huge purchases are not readily available; or that upon raising the said capital, one cannot leave it all “tied up”.

Below are some tips on making rental income from real estate investments:

Buy Rental Properties

There is no rule that says you have to live in a house because you own it, especially if you would make more money by letting or leasing the property. If you buy a house through a mortgage, your rental income on the property will help in offsetting your monthly payments.

Buy, Renovate, Resell

House-sharing

Highest and best use is always the use that would produce the highest value for a property, regardless of its current use. The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the h...

Why Real Estate is The Safest Investment Option In Nigeria

It takes money to make money . Someone once told me to forget about building wealth if I wasn’t willing to take the risk of investing in long-term ventures. They are typically two types of investments: long-term investments and short-term investments. Each option comes with its benefits and the level of risk involved. Typically the economy you find yourself in determines the sort of business you should invest in. Nigeria, for instance, is an emerging, middle-income, mixed economy with rapidly expanding manufacturing, financial, service, communications, technology, entertainment and real-estate sectors. Although fairly stable, the Nigerian economy is immensely influenced by its political stability and transference of power. Each political tenor typically comes with new policies and in most cases hinders the furtherance of the past tenor’s developments. In a country that typically operates like this, investing in real estate is one of the few safe investment options that har...
