Bad investment.

Is he planning on living there permanently?

If not, he is wasting his money.

Real estate is one of the worst investments you can make.

It’s possible to save that much as a student in 3 years if you live with your parents work insane hours and are extremely disciplined. Some guy on the forum did it before.
🤔150.000/3/365=€136,99- per day
So he had to make €20 per hour(working 8 hours every day) this includes saterday and Sunday. Earning €20 per hour as a student. And working every day besides your education. No way :ohhh: Or does your sxb go on monthly trips to South America, for that special delivery?

That's way more realistic. He grinded for years then. Still a waste that he spend all that money on land. He still has to grind more to build the house. If he let his adeer herd/breed camels for him or he started a business let's say importing cheap medicine from India he couldve made his lacaag work for him.

Still good for him and his hooyo though :salute:

can’t he have people live in there and they pay him rent?

Diaspora Somalis have this obsession with investing in real estate in Somalia. So much money is wasted in it only for it to price out locals and for the diaspora investors to lose money in opportunity cost (stocks outperform real estate).

Come to think of it, for some diaspora Somalis it may be a winning strategy if they are trying to hide money from Western governments. :dead:

xamar is great for investment especially during the pandemic when plots in dayniile degmo of xamar were going for 1k. people who invested in good ppaces of xamar a few years ago made a lot of money.

Only during the extremes of the civil war or when Al Shabaab rose perhaps.

But now it is not a good deal.

Look at the ten year price chart of Apple, Amazon, Google etc. You will be shocked.
