After making enough money, he bought about 12 plots of land for 200 cedis in the early 1990s, which is about 2 pesewas today. Mr. Acquah added that he bought the plot without knowing what to use it for.

Mr. Acquah told his interviewer that after buying the vast piece of land, people began to infringe on the property, so he had to build houses to prevent trespassing. Mr. Ebo Acquah eventually sold the two 2 bedroom houses he initially built on the land, which began his venture into the real estate business.

The real estate mogul has since built houses for SSNIT staff and bank employees. He has also constructed public sector housing with Republic Bank, then known as HFC Bank.

Mr. Acquah asserted that his real estate company has built 1,200 housing units and is currently constructing a 5000-unit gated community. He anticipates that the 5000 housing units should be completed in the next 5 years.

Mr. Acquah sells his one-bedroom houses for $25,000, his two-bedroom houses for $32,000, and $84,000 for a four-bedroom house. He stated that he intends not to go beyond $100,000.
