Frank Talk on Real Estate- by okonkwo christian

My name is Okonkwo Christian, a graduate of Biochemistry from the university of port-harcourt, Rivers state, Nigeria. Its a great privilege speaking frankly on the imperative investment in real estate.  “"We are in the real estate business, not the hamburger business…When times are bad is when you want to build! Why wait for things to pick up so everything will cost more? If a location is good enough to buy, we want to build on it right away and be in there before the competition. Pump some money and activity into a town, and they’ll remember you for it. "  - Ray Kroc 
Do you want to protect your money, and grow it at the same time? If YES, then you need to invest in real estate: it is the only SURE way, and has been so for centuries!
All over the world, tough economic times are forcing people to rethink their money making strategies to find out smarter and more profitable ways to grow the money they ha

Gone are the days when putting money in the stock exchange or operating fixed deposits accounts with banks, to earn incremental dividends of interest, was worthwhile. Today, even people who have millions set aside in those areas are finding it hard to reap significant and sustainable returns on their investments. 

The reality staring everyone in the face is that those are no longer reliable ways to grow your money. They work, but they give too little and take too long, compared to what they cost.

Yet, in all of this confusion and despair, real estate investing has remained consistent in its abiity to reward smart players with tangible returns, that keep growing for the long term in a sustainable manner.

This is true for real estate investing virtually everywhere, in every economy and culture.

But it is truer and more reliable for those who venture into it with the right mix of information and education, backed by competent expert guidance.

The problem you'll however have to solve is 3 fold:

1. Where to find the right mix of information and education.

2. Where to go for competent expert guidance you can depend on.

3. How to know when you have found 1 and 2, so as to make the best use of them.

In Nigeria, especially in the past year, the drastic downturn in economic fortunies of the nation has made the need to do the foregoing more appartent than ever. 
As the saying goes, the journey of a thousand miles begin with a step. investing properties today and less i forget, congratulation in making your future secured.
