1. Property values appreciate fast

Property prices in Lagos Nigeria is constantly rising. For example a colleague bought a land in Lekki for 800 thousand naira (about $5,000 USD). About three years later, the same land was worth 12 million naira(about 80,000 USD). Unbelievable as this may sound, it is a common feature especially in the Ajah  and Lekki axis of Lagos, Nigeria.

 

Property owners and landlords are constantly increasing prices and rent. Therefore, any money you put in Lagos Nigeria real estate is money well invested.

2. Lagos Nigeria is the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria. It is the centre of commerce. Businesses are everywhere . . . and more are coming. More businesses mean better standard of living. And more people ready to buy property.

3. Lagos Nigeria is constantly expanding. Lagos recently attained the mega city status. This means that property you're buying that appear to be in the suburb, may soon become a property in a commercial neighborhood.

That means more money for you because properties in that area will appreciate in value faster than you imagined.

4. There is a ready market

Property ownership is considered to be the ultimate achievement in African societies. You're not considered to have attained something concrete unless you at least own a house.

This is good news for you the property investor. It means you will always have ready buyers. Cool, right?

5. Money lose value over time. If you keep your money in a bank, inflation will eat away its value. Ten years from today, that huge amount you have in your bank account will be worthless.
