A woman who relocated to Nigeria shared how she bought a house in Lagos after searching for an apartment.

She stated that they had spent months house-hunting in Lagos but decided to buy a house instead.

In a video by @themomtrotter on TikTok, the woman shared her house-hunting journey.

She said:

“POV: After months of tirelessly apartment hunting in Nigeria 🇳🇬, you got tired of all the drama and bought a house !! We actually purchased a terrace or townhouse as it’s called in the U.S. Apartment / House hunting in Nigeria, especially Lagos is NOT FOR THE WEAK. I repeat “it is not for the weak”

Speaking of the house she owned in the US, she said:

“If you know anything about me, then you know real estate and I are like 5&6. I weighed my options, thought through everything, researched and figured out how to make it make sense financially. We still own our U.S. home in Texas which is currently rented, and now we have one in Nigeria too. And oh, we have our previous RV too! Best of both worlds! Ps, we never lived in the Texas home as it was purchased as rental property.”

In another video, the woman showed the interior of her building she bought.
