The best measure of real estate success is definitely the amount of profit that you can make on a given investment. Knowing when to buy, what to buy, and for home much are all key in maximizing your returns, and there are numerous ways in which to ensure that you make the most money possible on any investments that you make.
In any given city there are many neighborhoods where you can buy real estate. Each neighborhood will have a particular character, both of itself, and of the people who choose to live there. When real estate prices rise across a city, they start to go up in the best areas, because these are always people’s first choice when it comes to finding somewhere to live.
There are two places where you can make a lot of money in real estate for a smaller investment. By buying the worst house on a good street, you can enjoy real estate success as a developer by bringing the property up to the standards of other homes in the neighborhood, and then selling at a profit.
The other way to enjoy success is more speculative, but generally offers better returns in the long term. By buying the best house in a bad street, you will need to make less capital investment in the property and any upgrades, but you will still be able to sell at a higher price over the length of your investment due to the rise in property prices over time.

Population Explosion- Nigeria has a population of over 140million people as at the last census exercise in 2006. This simply equals to a large demand for shelter across the nation, and most especially in the commercial areas of the country. E.g. Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Aba and Onitsha. The Federal and State Governments of Nigeria have got a little impact and contribution in providing homes and shelters for their citizens. This has created a large vacuum in the Real Estate sector, so big a Vacuum that the ever increasing population has surpassed the number of government housing projects.
