I want to drive this point home with a short story. I hope you learn one or two things from the story. Read along….
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 120m/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 5m per 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 7m per plot against the 5m
Don’t be Mr Gabriel.
