Once upon a time, Mr Gabriel living in Lagos was preparing to travel
to the states. As a wise investor, he decides to invest some money in
property in Lekki by buying some plots of land.
This was in 2001. He contacted the realtor who showed him some choice locations at N6m/plot.
"This is expensive. It will take 30yrs for this to develop" - Mr Gabriel lamented.
He
traveled without buying the property. After 15yrs in the states, he
returned to find out to his bewilderment that Lekki has developed beyond
his expectation.
He called his realtor to get him a quote. "I have
some brief Mr Gabriel and the cheapest among them is N120m/plot" - The
realtor said.
Mr Gabriel was shocked. He didn't take the realtor for his words. He searched around and found out that it was true.
Lesson 1: "Don't wait to buy land, buy land wait"
After
frantic search, he was able to get an offer at Ibeju-Lekki for
N1.5.m/plot. He's going to buy 50 plots this time. He has learnt his
lessons. He told the realtor he will be paying the next day. He forgot.
After a week, he called to initiate the transfer and he was shocked to
hear the estate was sold out.
Lesson 2: "The Land you inspected
yesterday and planning to pay today is the same land someone inspected
yesterday planning to pay today.
He ended up buying a property nearby for N2m/plot against the N1.5m.
Don't be Mr Gabriel.
Ibeju-Lekki
is presenting a unique, fantastic opportunity to you today. Her
development rate will be faster than that of Lekki because of massive
projects like Lekki Free trade zone, Lekki Deep Sea port, The Dangote
refinery, Lagos smart city and a whole lot.
