Yes, money is important but becoming a landlord is mostly a decision that people just decide to take and once that decision is taking and they begin to take action towards it, the rest as they say becomes history.
Why this occurs is something I cannot fully explain. Probably it is in accordance with the bible verse Prov. 27:13 that says “As A Man Thinketh, So Is He”
Napoleon Hill in his book “Think & Grow Rich” says exactly the same thing when he explained that what we think about and focus on expresses itself in our physical realities.
Everyone who is a landlord just at one time in their lives decide to become one.
Fully 90% of the time, people who become landlords don’t even have a kobo to back up the decision but once the choice is made, the universe somehow aligns to make things happen.
Decide today and take action today, no matter how small it is - to become a landlord and then a house owner.

Becoming a House Landlord Is Only A Matter of Choice

No Matter How Well Behaved You Are, Your HOUSE Landlord Will Never Give You An Award
Either you know it or not, indirectly or directly, you are the one paying the school fees of your landlord’s children, fuelling his car and paying for his upkeep simply because he took the right action… he built.
And it does not matter how well behaved you are, one day you will move out of that house without an award. Your goal should be to move into your own house the day you move out.
Nothing can be more rewarding for a man and nothing can make a wife more happy that cooking in her own kitchen and not the landlord’s kitchen – I am sure the women folks understand what I mean.
No Matter How Well Behaved You Are, Your HOUSE Landlord Will Never Give You An Award For Being His Tenant. Ponder about this in your heart and find a way to get your own land and build your house.

Your Present Income Is Enough To Buy Your Land & Build Your House
The heading of this article is Strange but true.
How do you explain someone who repairs tires on the road side who becomes a landlord?
How do you explain women who paint and polish nails becoming landlords? How do you explain the woman selling vegetables in the market becoming a landlord? How do youexplain “akara” sellers becoming landlords? How do you explain office workers with small salaries becoming landlords? How do you explain an undergraduate becoming a landlord?
How?
The truth is that what you have now as income is enough!
All you need is the correct set of information, proper planning and strategy and dedication to your goal.
So that I can get to the reason why I am writing today, I will stop here but I believe now you understand that becoming a landlord does not start with the money. It starts with you making a decision to become one and here are the 3 steps I promise to everyone reading this report today:
.Conceive
.Believe
.Achieve
Have and nurse the thought of becoming a landlord, believe you can do it and take positive steps towards its achievement.

Rules For Buying A Land
Find a reputable real estate company and buy from them (they will usually be in
charge of getting a lawyer, making sure the land is free from government interest etc)
?? Ask questions – yes, ask any questions you may have no matter how stupid. I have
discovered that in the course of asking questions, you something stumble on things
you would otherwise not have known.
1. Never buy a land that has the sign “This Land is Not For Sale”
2. Ask about the documentation and titles of the land you are about to buy
3. Make sure you collect and keep your receipts after payment
4. Ask about allocation information
5. Ask about types of structure and limitation because sometimes the estate company might set a limit on what you can and/or cannot build
6. Make sure the land is free from Government interests
7. Even when buying from the estate agents, try and buy in groups
8. Ask about documentations they will give you when you complete payment and are allocated your plots
9. Buy on recommendation as much as possible
10. When paying in instalments, make sure you keep your books and records intact. They may mis-calculate or loose their records or a staff may be funny. Keep your records.
11. When you are buying in groups, watch out to see if the leader is trying to hide things or play funny games – this is a sign that you should beware.
12. Check the location
13. Get a professional and check the land from the government
When you buy from real estate companies there is more safety than when you buy
individually and to give you more dealing power, it is always best to buy in groups and that is
exactly what the Mafialandlord website does.
Instead of you buying directly from the real estate companies, we serve as the link (not
shielding you in anyway however) and therefore create a group buy so that if anyone has an
issue, the whole group can go all out on behalf of that one person.
Another good reason for buying directly from the estate companies is that it gives you the
ability to buy and pay at your ability. You see, I believe that everyone who earns an income
can become a landlord. The problem is always putting all the money together, and this is one
good thing about the estate companies that allow you to pay in tiny, broken bits.
For example, we have a Mowe/Ofada offer of land at N250,000 which is a steal anyway. The
nice thing is that you do not need to pay all the N250,000 at a go. All you need to pay is
N50,000 – then you can pay the rest “small-small” until you complete payment. Which
means if you like, you can pay N10,000 or N20,000 a month until you complete the payment!
Note, some of these estate companies will promise you that once you start paying the cost of
the land will not increase and yes I have one like that personally. I started paying at N600,00
and now it is going at around N750,000 per plot. I have not completed the payment on this
particular property but I am able to peg the price while it appreciates. I am sure that the day I
complete the payment, my property has appreciated many times over without any stress!
I am sure if I kept that same N600k in the bank, it cannot have appreciated with an extra
N150,000 in just 12months. If you know a bank that can pay that much, please let me know
so I can keep some money there ?
I know the question you are dying for me to answer next in this report is “How Do You Get
Started Using Mafialandlord.com”
