Turning Property Into Profit in Lagos: What Smart Investors Consider First\r\nIn Lagos, real estate isn’t just about owning land or buildings, it’s about turning those assets into consistent profit. At Rinwa Realty, we’ve worked with investors at every stage, from their first plot to a portfolio of apartments. And we’ve seen one thing over and over: the smartest investors don’t just buy property; they plan around profit.\r\nLet’s walk through what this looks like in real life.\r\nThe Lagos Investment Scenario\r\nMeet Aisha, a mid-level professional with some savings and a desire to grow her wealth. She’s not looking for a home to live in, she wants a property that earns.\r\n\r\nAfter meeting with Rinwa Realty, she decides to buy a newly built 2-bedroom apartment in Ajah. The price? ₦30 million. She also spends ₦5 million on furnishing, legal documentation, and setting it up as a short-let unit.\r\n\r\nTotal investment: ₦35 million.\r\nThe Earning Potential\r\nThrough platforms like Airbnb and direct bookings, Aisha rents her unit for ₦70,000 per night. With good marketing and a great location, she secures about 18 bookings per month.\r\n\r\n₦70,000 × 18 nights = ₦1.26 million per month\r\n₦1.26 million × 12 months = ₦15.12 million per year\r\n\r\nEven after deducting ₦2.5 million yearly for cleaning, maintenance, and service charges, her **net annual income** is about ₦12.6 million.\r\nHer Return on Investment (ROI)\r\nHere’s how Aisha calculates her ROI:\r\n\r\nROI = (Annual Profit ÷ Total Investment) × 100\r\nROI = (₦12.6 million ÷ ₦35 million) × 100 = **36%**\r\n\r\nThat means every year, she earns back 36% of her original investment — a strong return by real estate standards.\r\nWhy Some Investors Struggle\r\nNot all investments work this smoothly. Many investors jump in without:\r\n- Knowing the right location\r\n- Understanding rental demand\r\n- Calculating true setup costs\r\n- Planning for maintenance and service charges\r\n\r\nThat’s where Rinwa Realty makes a difference — we bring clarity and strategy to every step.\r\nLet’s Talk About Your Investment Goals\r\nEvery investor’s situation is different.
