But for reference sake, we may need to define the meaning of real estate investment and from there, you can catch the main idea of the business.
What is Real Estate Investment?
Real estate investment is the kind of business that deal with purchase of real estate or property with the intention of selling in higher price and thereby making some profits.
It can be property acquisition for a long term and, sold off which value is its value is increased. Renovating property to sell at higher price or engaging in property rental services.
But that’s not all about real estate investment in Nigeria. Here is a fact;
What you need to know about real estate investment in Nigeria
For starters, real estate investment has proven over the years to be one of the most profitable business for investors in Nigeria and all over the world. Making the profit isn’t as quick as you see with other businesses, and that’s why it’s called an “investment” making it a long term profit system.

So, we are going to take a look at every and each tips related to starting a real estate business in Nigeria even, without having huge capital.
How to Start Real Estate Investment in Nigeria – Beginner’s Guide
Below are 6 proven tips by experts worldwide on how to make more profit from real estate investment in Nigeria.
1. Get a Unique Business Name
The first thing I will ever advise you to do is to create a professional but unique name for your business.
Think of a name that will speak more about your business even before you introduce what your business is all about.
But note that when I say “UNIQUE” name, I mean a name that:
- Its social media handles are available
- Its domain name is available for purchase from any web hosting company
- It shouldn’t be searchable on search engines (because you’re not to compete with anybody’s business name)
- And finally, the name should be easily pronounced.
CHECK HERE: How to Choose a Unique Business Name
After getting your business name, the next thing is to make sure that government know about its existence.
But how? Check the next step below:
2. Register Your Business with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)
Registering your business can’t cost you much. Normally, it should cost you nothing more than N12,000 which includes the Name Reservation fee, Business Name Registration fee and other little expenses.
It’s the one of the first 3 most important steps for setting up a business which include real estate investment in Nigeria.
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is the only Nigeria’s government official conferred with the authority to register and approve businesses within Nigeria.
Registering your business name will attract some benefits to you. It makes you professional, trusted and free from any harassment from government or force officials.
If you’re thinking right with me that it’s a nice move to get your business name registered, I have a guide for you:

- Help you find a unique business name related to your business
- I will get it registered with CAC for you
- And set up a professional business website for you.

3. Get a Business or Portfolio Website
Because everything is getting more global these days, you need to have an automate platform where your prospects or customers can be able to reach you (even when you’re sleeping).
The best choice is to set up a very responsive and beautiful business website. In my business website (HERE), I have been able to tap clients for my team even when I’m asleep.
A business without a website these days has very lean chance of dominating the market.
To skyrocket your idea of real estate investment in Nigeria, I’ll urge you to get a website made for you.
In the #2 above, I said I will offer you 3-in-1 combo service at a very discounted price, the service includes a business website for your real estate business.
The next thing is to start playing your game gradually and that’s what I’m going to enlighten you on:
4. Buy at a Lower Rate
For every business person, the price of an item is key.
The same applies in the real estate market, the price of a property should be considered before choosing to make that purchase. It’s similar to what we have in stock market, buying low is key to making profit.
After a proper examination of the property, the purchase should be made immediately the price matches with the value, waiting for the price to appreciate isn’t advisable, once you’ve purchased your preferred property of choice you can now sell at an appreciated rate and this should be your profit.
Example: A property bought at the rate of N8 Million, for the sake of making profit, a sale should be made after its appreciation. It could rise to N10 Million+, the increase in the value of that property becomes your profit
5. Selling At a Greater Amount
You’ve bought at a less expensive price, it’s time to sell. You should sell a much higher price than you’ve purchased. This is a common idea among business persons and that’s also what should be part of your motive as a real estate investor.
The big deal is to always buy when the price is low, then you sell when the price appreciates.
Before selling, you should consider the acquired expenses, it should cover the expenses and have some left. Buying a property involves a lot expenses like cost of registration, legal fees and some transaction charges, selling at a higher rate covers all these thereby increasing profit.
As said earlier, it’s quite similar to stock market trading, those with stock market experience could easily navigate the waters of real estate investment in Nigeria.
6. Increase Net Profit by Renovating
Real estate values doesn’t always increase, in history they’ve been some period when it happened, you could buy a property worth a million naira to sell at N1,000,050.
The rate of inflation is beyond your control as a real estate agent in Nigeria, the government makes the decision which directly or indirectly affects the value of real estate business.
Despite all these, you could still improve on the estate’s value, how?
First off, you need to understand my fourth point of buying at a lower rate, then do some renovations on the property and this will no doubt increase its value in future.
Let’s say you purchase a slightly dilapidated property for the sum of N500,000, due to its horrible state, you can’t profit much if you sell a property with such condition.
What’s you’ll need to do is to get the property back to life by adding some paint or repainting, furniture of good quality should be added also, and whatever you know such a property should contain.
After doing all these, the value of that property will invariably increase and you can boldly say you’re in real estate investment business.
You should also consider this before initial purchase, before purchasing a piece of property should have a rough estimate of how much you’re to use for repairs and other expenses, it shouldn’t be much else you’re not in business, you could be likened to a charity organization.
This should be done in every property you purchase so as to increase your net profit.
7. Renting Is More Profitable
Those who have made millions from real estate investment in Nigeria will tell you that most of their profit came from renting and leasing.
This is one sure and steady way to keep the cash coming in, irrespective of whatever property it is, private or commercial, you get much more gain when it’s put up for rent.
Requirements for Starting Rental Service/Business in Nigeria
Before putting up a place for lease, some factors should be considered such as:
- Location
- Road network
- Availability of necessary amenities,
All these influence the rental value of any property. Location seems to be the most important among all, so before buying be sure to see if all these are in place.
Take a look at this simple calculation below:
A property bought at a rate of N5,000,000 is renovated with N1,800,000 plus miscellaneous expenses of N200,000. This sums up to N7,000,000.
At the end, you could get back all you’ve invested plus more in the space of two years.
Remember, real estate investment in Nigeria is not a “get rich quick scheme“, although it’s very profitable.
8. Have You Thought of Land?
If you haven’t, you should start thinking of how to start buying lands (if you’d like to make more money from real estate business in Nigeria).
Owning a land where you could set up a real estate yourself is very profitable and you should take advantage of this.
Before you get that land remember that location is vital. The developmental prospects of such a place should also be put into consideration. If an area has no prospect for growth in the near future do not invest, else you might run into loss at the end of the day.
Remember that land is one of the most important gift of nature (coupled with Water and Air) apart from the mineral resources given to us by God.
If you buy a plot of land at the cost price of N2,000,000 and you just do corner-pieces on the land to identify and different your land from others, after a year or two, you may sell off the land at the rate of N4,000,000 – N5,000,000.
The most important thing is that the price never decrease but increases with respect to development of the location.
9. Marketing: Get Seen, Heard and Paid
You have a great job from #1 – #8 and you still need to do more.
Although, real estate investment in Nigeria is not yet crowded like other businesses out there. But, the competition is high because real guys who are into this business are spending more on marketing.
But why marketing is necessary for real estate development business?
People these days are aware about what comes to their notice. And to make money from any business you lay your hands upon, you need to get your business to their notice because without these people, your business is NOTHING.
I believe your know the importance of marketing for any business right?
But let me remind you that the best marketing strategies for your real estate investment is through:
- Social media – Facebook and Instagram is the best choice!
- Google ads
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- Offline marketing which include making banners, handbills, flyers, vests, radio jingles etc.
Read these helpful tips:
A physical presence is what you should also consider, you need a physical office separate from your virtual online presence. You need an office for discussing business, an office enables you to have a dialogue with your intending customers.
Wrapping up
Real estate investment in Nigeria has made billions of Naira for many smart entrepreneurs and more are still racking up the millions. You too can be part of the moving train if you choose to invest wisely today.
These tips above have been recommended by experts to be among the top ways to make more profit as a real estate agent.

7 Super Professional Tips to Build a Successful Business in 2022

Published
1 year agoon
December 21, 2021It is a new year and you’ve been thinking of how you can build a successful business but don’t know how or where to start. Let’s talk about that and see if you’ll learn something, or be inspired.
Some businesses fail because they’re following old blueprints which no longer work effectively to build their startup.
We’ve learned a lot between 2020 and 2021, and we’ve seen how businesses are affected by the ongoing Corona Virus pandemic. But ideas to start or build a business are waxing stronger in us, how are we going to bring these ideas to reality?
But is 2022 the right time to start a business?
Yes, it’s never too late to start a business in 2022 and you are still going to see rapid growth if you put in all the efforts.
Regardless of the Coronavirus and its variants, you’ll agree with me that starting and building a business these days is easier compared to a few years ago as a result of technology and more investors who’re ready to provide capital for a futuristic business plan.
According to a report, investors spent more than $140 billion to support startups in 2017 and the figures have increased ever since then till date. This shows how people like you are creating something or a platform that solves a ‘problem’ and how people are ready to support it.
If you’re also planning to launch your startup, you’re welcome, it’s never too late to be phenomenal.
Aside from investors who’re ready to invest, you don’t necessarily need to build your business by renting a big hall or apartment for office use, thanks to COVID-19, you can gather your team and work remotely, while you’re saving a lot of money that will go into office setup.
If you have a good business plan or startup idea and you’re worried about what to do next, the following tips will help you get started;
7 Tips to Build a Business in 2022
#1. Do Your Research and Understand Your Mission
You see, a lot of people see other people building stuff and they got jealous to build something too – this is a wrong motivation to start a business.
You have to think clearly about what you want to do, you ask yourself: “In what way(s) can this idea or business help people?” – emphasize “help people”.
If you want to start a fashion design company, do your research thoroughly and understand that you’re about to build a type of business some people have built already. So, how are you planning to get better and beat your competitors?
For instance, can you think of a unique fashion trend and dominate it for the long term? If yes, what fashion trend and how can you hit the market with your idea?
You have to plan all these, you just don’t voluntarily jump into the ocean without knowing if it’s safe or not. If it’s not safe, then how are you going to survive?
#2. Get a Team Members with Common Goals
The spirit of being the CEO and (sole) founder is part of what’s killing some businesses and startups to date. I’m not saying you can’t build a business alone, you can! But you can’t survive alone. If you survive alone, you won’t go far alone.

People (Team) Working Together – Credit: Pexels.com
You have to understand this concept. If you read about big business builders in the world, you’ll notice one thing that’s very common to them – they don’t build alone!
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc., will tell you that they called their friends when they were about to start their company. Why? It’s simply because they need teammates who can work with them to achieve their primary and respective goal(s).
The reason is simply that if one is falling, another person will lift him. And this boils down to you looking and calling the right people to join you or else if you fall, that’s the end of the business.
So look for the right people in your circle, during meetups, on social media, share the business idea with them and be patient to see those who’ll be ready to join you.
Getting team members here is different from hiring people. You have to look for someone or some people who’re ready to take ownership of the business and work diligently.
They can in turn be your co-founder, CTO, etc… Just make sure you’re careful and patient enough to see someone with the same common goal.
#3. Start Building with the Little You Have:
You know the type of business you want to build and you have someone or some people who are ready to work with you. The next thing is to start building that business with the little resources you have.
The mistake most people make is that they’re waiting for the “perfect time” and that time translate to when they have sufficient money to invest in the business. The truth is that that perfect time won’t come unless you start now.
And I will like to say this if you’re starting a new business but you don’t have money to invest personally, you’re still not going anywhere. It’s either you get a job, make money and come back to that idea or, you sell the business idea to someone else.
The bottom line is that you have to start from you, even if you will need investors to inject capital into your business, you have to show them something – your ideas + efforts.
#4. Create Good Information and Communication Flow
As part of what you’re starting with, is how you can bridge the communication gap between your business and your target audience (investors included). That’s why you need to invest in creating that information and communication flow.
This is not a big deal at all, you just need to create an online presence for your business by getting a website, getting on social media, and investing in Email marketing or CRM tools.
If you can’t build the website yourself, you can hire freelancers to get the job done for you, there are free email marketing tools like MailChimp that you can get started with. You can hire an expert to manage your business’s social media handles for you too. The person will be in charge of content creation, posting, and attending to comments.
Having a website is very important, if it’s just a landing page, do it and let people know about your business from there and use your social media handles to keep telling people about your mission, not that loudly tho.
#5. Start Expanding the Business
You’ve tried a lot, but it’s not the time to relax. It’s time to start thinking of expansion. I mean expansion at all lengths.
If you launch your business to focus on people in Canada and they accept it with open hands, it’s time to expand to New York, and then to Paris, to Africa, etc.
In your team as well, you need to have some people who will be in charge of marketing, human resources, engineering, international relation, legal, and many departments within your company.
With great power comes greater responsibility, the more you’re growing, the more you should expand.
But what if your company can’t afford to hire people you need to run the business as you’re thinking of expanding, is that the end? No, it’s not!
#6. It’s time to Seek Business Funding
This is not a must if your business can afford to finance itself, but I bet it can. As a startup that’s at the entry or expansion stage, you need money to take care of a lot of things and some people are ready to provide that money!
There are people called Angel investors and some are called Venture capitalists, these people are in the business of investing in other businesses to make a profit. No money is too big to invest for VCs as long as your company’s evaluation is also big.
If you think your business need funding, kindly check this blog post on how to get one for your business.
#7. Don’t Stop Expanding; Invest More in Your Business
You’re not there yet. Start investing more in advertising, your team members, think of innovation and, acquire other related small businesses.

Published
1 year agoon
December 3, 2021Here is your time to shine, you can now buy MTN shares and join the leagues of MTN shareholders in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s telecommunication giant, MTN Nigeria recently announced the selling of 575 million of its shares to the public on Tuesday, November 30th, 2021. Just in case you don’t know what “shares” is, let’s me quickly tell how it works;
What are Shares?
Share simply means a percentage of ownership in a company. Those who hold these shares are called “shareholders” and you can also call them “investors”.
What that simply means is that, let’s say you buy MTN shares, you have a percentage of every percentage of the company. If the stock rises, your share rises and vise versa.
How Shares Work?
The more shares of a company you’re holding, the more decision-making power you have in that company and the more your profit if the company is performing well.
Let’s say you buy 250 units of MTN shares at the rate of N169 each, which is N42,250.
And luckily, MTN stocks jump to x10, that’s also N42,250 x 10 for you. You’ve made N422,500!
That’s just the simple idea, if you know how FOREX, stocks, or cryptocurrency work, you have the idea of how Shares work also.
But you don’t need to panic because MTN Nigeria is leading and doing well in Nigeria, investing your money to buy from their shares will be a good return on investment (ROI) for you.
…and this is a golden opportunity if you’ve been looking for where to invest your money.
