Most of us grew up in a 'land is the ultimate investment' culture. In some communities, you're not considered mature if you don't own a place of your own.
This 'reasoning' I believe, partly explains why the real estate market is so inefficient.

In the developed world, specifically in the US, the value of properties and indeed many assets, is often quoted as a multiple of annual earnings, rental yields or capitalisation rate (cap rate) if you like...5X, 10X etc.
Here in Kenya property prices are speculative in nature.

People buy property not because the fundamentals make sense but because of the cliché 'you can never go wrong with real estate'. In the process, people are prepared to pay prices that don't make any sense. This explains the crazy prices in the real estate market.
"Subomi, what's the best #agriculture crowdfunding platform to invest in right now?" If I had a thousand Naira for every time I was asked that question, I would have a tidy sum by now. #Thread #Investment #InvestInYou
During my investment course, I explore at least five different agriculture crowdfunding platforms. I analyse their pros and cons and returns on investment - from 12% to over 100%.
To learn about agriculture crowdfunding and six other ways to #invest in #Nigeria, check out my weekend video & Whatsapp investment course please. Classes begin on September 7: subomiplumptre.com/courses.
If I were to distill my prime directive for #investing; my overriding philosophy, it would be this - Never leave money lying fallow. #Thread #InvestInYou #Investment
I believe without a shadow of a doubt, that you should get to a point where you live off your returns, not capital. A point where you've invested so much, that the returns become a steady stream that takes care of your needs.
A point where you only dip into capital for major things like buying a house and then, only rarely.
FOCUSED WEALTH: I have a pretty diverse network, thanks to #socialmedia. I meet incredible people offline that I first met online. Some of them are accomplished investors. I have noticed a trend.

There's a gentleman who always speaks about #venturefunding in the #renewableenergy sector. Honestly, my eyes glaze over when he goes on about turbines and solar panels and the projects he's working on in Brazil. This is because venture funding is not my area of strength.
One day he told me his revenue projections and my eyes popped at the numbers.
