You've spoken well bro.... It's not advisable to sell stuffs to go into business without strategies or idea of the business in question.[06415]No. Because rule number 1. Never sell any property to go into any kind of business.

Business is very risking. And the risk % goes up higher on bad environment.


The Nigeria factor at the moment is highly risky. You have to do your calculation very well and prepared for any eventuality.[/quote]

OK friends ...I have a lot in my hands and I need matured advice not to make mistakes please... I lost my rich aunt last year ....she handed over her properties and two kids to me to take care ...(adopted.the girl is 20yrs .just finished jamb .the boy is 12yrs .just going into js1)

now I'm 39. not married.and lost my job 2months ago....no liquid cash left but I have in my custody 4 units of 3bedroom flats ....also a 6 bedroom duplex not yet finished so no tenant yet... since my aunt was so secretive I had to start looking for other houses she didn't say...I have found two in an estate .....somewhere...nobody knows about it but me.I'm yet to find out more properties about 4. I have a new kia sport age jeep too in my possession ....


now d demand for upkeep and school fees from these two kids is really eating me up...have to borrow pending wen tenants pay .late payment most times....

now I'm turn in between selling one of the houses I found out on code. 10million.just a small apartment....I know I can start life wit it.love most of the problems,look for more properties and complete the 6 bedroom duplex.... my question and fear is that should I sell it and start life or keep managing with tenant fee and late payment ..?

Selling any of those properties, which are not yours, is not a wise thing to do..... In the future, things can arise Nd your mistake will be pointed out....

You will be the wicked uncle, not considering your gold efforts...

Bad bad bad, dont do it...

I know you are not doing this out of brokeness or any business, you are doing this because you think no one is there to watch or tell you not to do it...


I also know that an aunt who has all these properties will also have money that can be used to take care of those kids properly...
Except you are trying to tell us that you have mismanaged the funds

Crazy you must say I am. Plunge into the circumstance
1)marry the girl
2)adapt the boy
3)have a lawyer manage the properties

4)start small, also keep managing the money that comes from the tenants. Big cash doesn't guarantee business success
5)carry these points to any religious leader you're under to help you review and modify
Doing the (1) will help you overcome temptation and make you more responsible. That number (1) pose to you/her an unavoidable pothole which you have to unavoidably do it the legal and right way. Females develope love towards the people that take care of them, talk less of yours that has no blood relationship

Re: Should I Sell A Property And Go Into Business? by Tenblade: 6:02pm On Nov 10, 2019
@Op, I don't think it is a bad idea to sell the property . As long as you don't misuse or squander the money. It can be very tempting to do so. Money has a spirit of it's own.

However, I would advice that you do not use it to set up a business. Maybe just not yet. Invest it in the money market. In treasurery bills or mutual funds. With about 10 million naira you should be able to get up to a hundred and something thousand naira per month . Stress free, guaranteed money. That should be enough to fend for the kids and some for your self . Whilst you hustle.

Business is a tricky thing. It is a hit or miss. You could lose all your money trying to set up a business that may not succeed at the end of the day. Since you are not employed and are not already making money that can cushion you should business fail, my advice is to invest the money and use the proceeds . That way, your 10 million naira is still intact. Untill you can , to a large extent, afford to lose that money in business. Ie when you have a job or something else that can serve as a cushion or fall back, should things not go as planned in your business attempt.

I hope I made some sense. All the best bro.

The girl is 20 years and not a kid anymore, once you start with selling one, i bet you, you will lavishly spend the money and finish it within 5 years (max) and then you will want to sell another and then another, because it is not your sweat. handover the properties to the children and only guide them, looks like there is more to this story.

If somehow you sell one property and the money vanishes due to all kinds of unbudgeted sundry expenses in a very short while, how will you explain it later?

Again, if you do sell it and start a business and it becomes mega successful, will you willing and happily hand it over to the kids when they come to claim it then? Afterall, you invested their money....

Your Aunt died Intestate.

Before you can take action on any property or take action on any tenant.. you need to Obtain Power of Attorney from the Lagos State Gov Ministry of Justice I think. (assuming you are in Lagos)

Go and visit that Ministry, explain your situation and you will be guided according to what the law says.

Did she bequeath any property to you or you are to hold them in trust for her 2 kids?

Whether in trust or not, you should only sell a property only when you're 110% sure that what you'll invest it in will be profitable and make life comfortable for you and the kids. It will be tragic to lose all.that money.

Take very good care of the kids and once in a while spoil them. You can also keep money aside gradually in order to replace the property you sold.

It might not be necessary though. For instance, if business is good, you can send the girl to Canada for her master's for Instance. Ensure they lack nothing.

People can be ungrateful. In future, they may say you sold their mothers property and ate the money. That's why I advise you replace it in the long term.

if you got their consent before you sold the property, then you have little to worry about.

Best you can do therefore is to open special accounts for the 2 kids depositing money into it monthly which they can access when they reach a certain age.

Don't sell it thinking that no other person is aware of those buildings which you found time will tell Cause "The Walls have Ears"

Re: Should I Sell A Property And Go Into Business? by oyediranniyi: 7:16pm On Nov 10, 2019
Whatever you do, put yourself in the shoes of those kids, this should guide u in all your decisions.

Dont sell any of the property, atleast for now,if it has to be done, let it be qith rhe consent of the kids and other family members, for now you cannot transfer ownership without a L.A.(letter of Administration)

Be transparent and be accountable

If you are wise enough, being d kid's guardian for now, u can leverage on the properties, atleast if it was in care of a legal administrator , his fees will be taken care of.

Most importantly make sure those kids get educated.

They might be able to live on the rent but Local man is looking for a way to make ends meet for himself also Since he lost his job and they all can't be depending on the rent since he said the rent comes late.

Rent money is good but it's more of a cushion or side income. It only becomes a source of livelihood when you have a large number of properties.

From his words, I suspect the properties aren't in prime areas like Ikeja, Magodo, Gbagada, Ilupeju etc. More like Egbeda, Ijegun and other places. 3br flats there go for 600,000 per annum. Multiply by 4 and you have 2.4m. Not exactly jaw dropping. I am estate agent by the way.

His shrewd aunt didn't dump the kids on him for nothing. I'm sure she has siblings but instead chose her nephew. He was even humble and intelligent enough to come here and ask for advice. It indicate he's not the reckless type.

What's important is that he invests wisely. If he can use the money made to turn his life around and better those of the kid, I see why not. He should just ascertain he knows he business he is going into well enough so as not to lose it.

Money can have a destructive influence. Eddy must search his heart and be sure he's doing it for the right reason. That is most important and that whatever he place the funds into succeeds.
The heart truly is wicked and desperate and who can know?Only the true God!

Eddy, to whom much is given, much is expecte. Eddy, Will you let God down? Will you let your aunt down?Will you let her kids down? Will you let your relations down?And will you let us down?

So I'm about to give you a million-dollar advice so I will expect some form of appreciation later. Just kidding.
Do not sell any of those properties. Time and circumstances changes people. Focus on your own game and use the proceeds of the rent to cater for your niece and nephew. Proceeds should be able to cater for their schooling and upkeep. If you can do a long lease on some other properties then do. If a tenant is owing more than year's rent then write the tenant a 6-months eviction notice and make sure the said tenant gets the letter in person.
If the uncompleted properties are in choice locations then get a developer to brake up that property into flats, and do a Redevelop, operate and transfer. How this works is this. The developer will agree the number of years he'll require to recoup his investment with some profit. Meanwhile after developing the property, he'll leave you one or two units of the flat as a form of lease for the number of years he's controlling the property. This leasehold might range from 7-12years depending on your bargaining power and the quality of materials that will be used during construction.
I find it hard to believe that your aunt has that number of properties and no money in her account. You better get in touch with a lawyer who will compel banks to disclose to you monies in those accounts although this is subject to who the beneficiaries of those accounts are of which I'm suspecting should be her kids.

I love to read from great people like this.

Op, this poster just gave you a million dollar answer.


Many businesses fail within the first 3 years of their startup, especially businesses started from the top.


Op, if you haven't mastered any business currently, I will advice you not to venture into any now because you will lose the money. If possible, use the money and relocate out of Nigeria to Canada or Australia or some newfound small European countries where youcan secure small job to be supporting yourself and those kids....but you can only sell 1 of the properties only to put into this.

Don't sell it to start any business from scratch, the money will go!

I would have loved to help you with a wonderful business idea to venture into as a starter, but my bad spirit is telling me no....and if I must do it, you must pay me huge consultation fee because you will become financially free. But pls don't contact me, don't seek for my personal counsel...just take the one I have given out here for free, thanks.

Don’t you have any source of livelihood as a man

Millions of men lost their job and they are still living and making things happening


Selling those properties doesn’t worth it


Am sure the demise of your aunt is your achievement

If not then you won’t wanna sell what is not yours


Take the kids to orphanage homes and leave the properties

If not then it’s in your mind to sell them all so you can live a glamorous life...

Don’t be upset by my words am just been blunt

Hustle your own and leave what you have for your own kids not what isn’t yours

Dont sell.You are holding those properties in trust for her kids. If you are wise, you can become rich from what you have already.


How much does the rented apartment return yearly? Can't you give the tenants quit notice and get new ones, get a lawyer to collect the rent


A typical 3 bedroom should return N400-800k per annum times 4 = 1,600,000 - 3,200,000 per annum.

How much is your upkeep and children school fees?

Now, you can keep the new houses you discovered under your hat for now.

I'm an estate agent and I can tell you categorically that rent money is more like cushion money or side income. It is at best something you can survive on but won't make you rich. My dad's owns and rents out a wing of a duplex in Ikeja near shoprite and he'll blow the money within 3 months. It was what he'll use to go jolly in London.

Most old landlord's who depend on their flats for a loving, you no see how there face dey hard.?Will you be happy to live with one?

Most importantly, don't forget he's 39yrs and unmarried. His life shouldn't come to a standstill because he wants to take care of his cousins. As long as he uses the money generated prudently, it's all good. His aunt must have seen something in him hence, her bequeathing her children to him.

He should endeavor to first understudy any business he chooses to engage in. He should also realise it takes about a year for a business to be truly profitable and on the ground. That rent money will still come in handy until further notice.

If the business proves successful, he could be saving part if not all of the rent into an account for them until they reach a certain age. i also wish he finds a fine wife.
