Common Mistakes Of New Real Estate Investors

Many people are convinced about the soundness of real estate investment as a wealth-building vehicle but most are not clear as to the path to follow and the pitfalls to avoid. More recently, I have had reason to clarify to aspiring real estate investors that real estate investment is not a get-rich-quick system. It is a system that requires knowledge, dedication and focus. We shall examine a few mistakes to avoid if you desire to effectively utilise this wealth building vehicle. One of the basic errors new real estate investors make is to buy properties blindly on the assumption that all real estate investments automatically go up. This common assumption is not true in its entirety. For instance, if you decide to buy a property in an odd part of town without considering basic infrastructures or basic advantages, and then you go ahead and develop the property, you may experience a high vacancy ratio (this means, it takes an unduly long time to rent the property to tenants) or it m...

Governor Fashola Launches Home Ownership Scheme for Lagosians

Citing his government’s desire to encourage low income Lagos residents to own homes without much stress, the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola on Monday flagged off the Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (LagosHOMS). Mr. Fashola said LagosHOMS is part of his administration's solution towards reducing the acute housing deficit in Lagos State. According to Fashola, "the economic realities had made house ownership almost impossible for most income earners". He went further to say, "for many years, our people have had to acquire houses, often times being required to pay cash once and for all, as if they were buying a shirt or a pair of shoes in a shop. This approach in part, explains why a large number of ordinary middle class and working people, cannot afford to acquire homes on the basis of their legitimate income derived from hard work. In Lagos, we are of the view that a home is not something you buy in one day, but over time in a way that your...
