Investing in Land & Real Estate – Why It’s Worth It
- Tangible, Appreciating Asset
- Land never deprecates – Unlike cars or gadgets, a plot of land (especially in fast‑developing zones like Epe, Ibeju‑Lekki, or emerging cities) tends to rise in value over time.
- Value growth: Reports show land bought for ₦300 k can hit ₦3 M in just a couple of years in high‑demand spots. ¹ ²
- Hedge Against Inflation
- As the cost of living climbs, rent and land prices follow. Rental income and property values often increase at a rate that beats inflation, protecting your purchasing power. ³ ⁴ ⁵
- Passive Income (Rental Yield)
- Steady cash flow: Once you develop the land (e.g., residential units, commercial space) or lease it for agriculture, it generates monthly/quarterly rent.
- Low vacancy risk in growing neighborhoods where demand outstrips supply.
- Low Maintenance Compared to Buildings
- No tenants, repairs, or utility bills. After purchase, the only costs are legal fees, security, and occasional surveying.
- Minimal upkeep makes it a “set‑and‑watch” investment. ⁶
- Versatility & Multiple Use Cases
- Residential development – Build homes, duplexes.
- Commercial use – Shops, warehouses, offices.
- Agriculture – Farm, agro‑business.
- Lease to developers – Earn lump‑sum profit by selling to a builder later.
This flexibility lets you pivot when market conditions shift. ⁷
- Portfolio Diversification
- Real estate (especially land) behaves differently from stocks or bonds, adding stability to a mixed portfolio.
- Reduces overall risk because it’s a physical asset not tied to market volatility.
- Leverage Opportunities
- Mortgage or loan: Use a modest down payment and a loan to acquire a larger parcel, magnifying returns when values rise.
- Joint ventures: Partner with friends or developers to pool resources and share risk.
- Tax Benefits (Nigeria)
- Deductible expenses: Mortgage interest, property taxes, repairs, depreciation (if developed).
- Capital gains: Often taxed at a lower rate compared to other investments.
- Legacy & Security
- Land is a finite resource—once owned, it can be passed down generations, creating family wealth and a lasting legacy.
- Physical presence gives a sense of security that digital assets can’t match.
- Land Banking Potential
- Buying early in a developing corridor (e.g., near new highways, airports) lets you capture massive appreciation before the area fully matures. Think Lekki’s transformation over the past 20 years.
A good place to invest in right now is the Epe and Ibeju Lekki axis. With big names like the Dangote Refinery, Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lekki Ports and other conglomerates including Airports having presence there already while others are still in the pipeline, that axis is obviously the new Lagos. Its transformation in the coming years will blow our minds.
