The US soldier of Ghanaian descent explained in the caption accompanying the video that he acquired the house 15 months after relocating abroad to join the Army.

While celebrating his success in the US since leaving Ghana for a better life, he also expressed gratitude to God for how far he has come.

"15 months in America, God has blessed me with this beautiful home. I’m proud to be part of the homeowners here in America," he wrote.

Although Steve did not state how much he paid for the house, the average cost of a two-storey building in the US can range from $284,158 (GH¢4,395,925.71) to $450,345 (GH¢6,966,855.16), depending on factors such as location, size, and desired features.
