How to Invest in Property & Build a Platform with Tayo Oguntonade (@BrickzwithTipz) Bejay Mulenga & Sebuh Mesfin

Want to get into property investment but don’t know where to start? Then this week’s @blocks2bags episode is for you. Our hosts Bejay Mulenga MBE (@bejaymulenga) and Sebuh Mesfin (@sebuhmesfin) sit down with Tayo Oguntonade from BrickzWithTipz (@brickzwithtipz), a property investment and edutainment platform he co-runs with his wife Antoinette which as they describe, uses “financial literacy to bridge the gap between dreams and reality”.  They discuss how you can start investing in properties with a low budget, and key gems on how to climb the property ladder using the BWT platform. And that’s not all – our B2B team and Tayo give you a live masterclass on creating edutainment-based content and how you can immediately hook consumers with your content.

 

KEY BLOCK GEMS FROM BRICKZWITHTIPZ:

 

1) Sell property deals to investors to bridge financial gaps – Networking with investors is key here; using the BrickzwithTipz platform, you can essentially sell property deals to investors who will cover costs that block your path. 

 

2) Buying a property first vs Investing in properties – With years of experience in the property industry, Tayo commented on how buying properties first isn’t necessarily the most lucrative option. For example, using rent-to-rent systems across multiple properties is only one way to climb the property ladder.

 

3) Look at market prices in your area when you start out – You are the expert in your area. Look for listings that might be below market value to take advantage and package up deals with investors.

 

4) Education builds legitimacy – Property investment is not just about buying properties; learn from your mistakes and keenly analyse every deal you come across to build a roster of information.

 

5) Building impact with edutainment – Your journey doesn’t need to end with property investment. Modelling the success of the BrickzWithTipz platform, this episode explored the value of edutainment in making a wider impact.
