We should leave the West behind, pack our bags, and head to Africa brehs!!!

Have a beachfront in Kakata that i inherited…. But I am thinking Ghana long term. Idk.

I’d make my investment in markets that I know the best if it were me.

My advice is be extremely careful with buying brand new.

The one downside of the third world is some of the janky ass builds

The new builds in the first world aren't all that either tbh.

Poor workmanship is still poor workmanship regardless of where it is in the world. Nothing is built/made to last anymore its built/made to be replaced.

You live in Africa and I tell people think of Living in Africa like living in the ghetto in a hood McDonalds where they have Ham but no Burger.

So even when I had to fix my suicide shower head I had the buildings super do it for me and deducted it from the rent.

That way if the super overcharged me the owner would holla at him because he would get less rent.

Again you’re doing the right save and stack invest the savings.

Do you live in a totally wealthy area or an area where there’s middle class people near you.

I lived near a middle class neighborhood it wasn’t bad low crime and plenty of places to shop.

Living in a totally high end place is cool but it makes you car dependent and you pay more for everything in the few stores that exist out there.

I'd say it's upper middle class.

It's in Entebbe so it's very laid back, barely any bodas and I'm like ten min drive from the state house. Alot of military and government officials live near me. Plus a bunch of mzungus

Honestly I don't see cops, don't even see people's phone being snatched like in Kampala


I'm near the main road so I can get everything I want


Like this is a five main walk





Only negative is that I'm near a church and they use a megaphone daily even at 5am

structurally there are still differences from a USA build vs the Chinese “luxury” constructions you see all over East Africa

They are sufficient and I am in 1 right now but lets not get it twisted

as a vehicle of investment there is a huge difference also with more inbuilt property ownership rights in the West

That’s another thing little kids be chilling and I asked how these kids be out here unsupervised and I was told people don’t fukk with kids and if they did they’d be super violated so for the most part kids are kids and not social media addled brats like in the states.

I don’t got to tell you but if you bought bonds or even put a couple stacks in Equity Bank account the interest rates on that money is crazy you could get as much as 12% apr on that money.

Again you’re putting much needed hard currency in their banks they will pay you well for it.

Will look into this

Went to the dentist just to check out prices

Not American don't live in America. I know plumbers plasters paint & decorators and they all hate working on new builds when have to fix/replace things in them. My friend who is a plumber got called out to fix a leak in a new build bathroom and what would usually take a couple of hours. They had to rip out the whole bathroom just so they could get to the leak.

Bingo. Don't forget the Syrians and Lebanese. We're not going to even speak about black people who call themselves everything but Africans. Also, they don't want to assimilate back into the general culture. They'll do it for any other country outside of the continent but they won't do it there. If this was a thread about going to South America, Europe or southeast Asia there would be a lot more posts in agreement.

It’s been quoted that Brother Amos Wilson said he believes Black Americans suffer myopia — we are often unable to see all of the opportunities that exist in America and thinking going to Africa will fix everything

I've visited Ghana and it was great. I don't know if I'll ever live abroad, but owning property is probably in the cards.

I also know, that until we get a single "first world" majority black country our reputation world wide will remain poor.

I could just not be in the right environments but I don’t hear about brothers with that type of ambition… “let’s build X industry. This country has X resources. We can make connections with X politicians for this deal”

Most brehs… are just looking to be comfortable and chill… definitely the vibe in this thread

Without that ambition, not sure how these places can become first world…

Living in a 4bdrm house paying 300 cdn a month.

Only thing expensive is internet as it's around 60 for unlimited internet

Phone paying 6 a month
Buy fruits and veggies from the market but I got a jackfruit and avocado tree in my backyard

Nice home. Are foreigners allowed to actually purchase land? Non lease
