INVESTMENT PROCESSES IN REAL ESTATE




 Investments can be a fresh development (i.e. virgin land). This type of property investment has been found to command the lowest capital outlay and most times the highest capital appreciation: or purchasing already existing property, which can be enhanced to command current rent and capital value. It could also be to fill a prospective emerging demand. The investor who does not wish to be involved in the stress of physical building, development and management can invest by buying a completed property although at a high value.

Steps to take before making that real estate investment;

  • Study and evaluate the value of the property, its location, neighborhood, use, encumbrances, physical state and any incidental cost pursuant to its acquisition.

  • Carry out a feasibility study, viability, encumbrances and any cost incidental to its acquisition.

  • A very important step to consider is the engagement of consultants. Real Estate professional advisors are required almost at every stage for sound advice.

  • All interests, titles, ownership, registration and documentation must be easily verifiable.

HOW TO BENEFIT FROM REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT



When an area is centrally located with road network or accessibly, such a location is bound to attract patronage and investment..

If you notice an undeveloped area but very close to a major or high brow neighborhood, it is a matter of time before the undeveloped area will acquire high value.

Watch out for an area of a city that is witnessing tremendous growth in the number of people or companies moving into that area: such as we are witnessing in the Lagos/Ibadan axis. If this same area lacks enough residential accommodation for those moving there, and given that the trend may continue as large organizations are attracted to these area-opening new offices.


The trend will continue as more people are attracted to the area looking for job and accommodation. A good investor seeing that this is a permanent feature will key in by investing in real estate for good profit. Buying a property in this area will be a smart move.
