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.
