He explained in the video that he purchased land and the uncompleted building for about GH₵200,000. He added that he preferred an uncompleted structure because he did not have the money to build from scratch and did not want to go in for a mortgage since it would take him years to pay it off.

The YouTuber said he had an arrangement with his friend who sold him the property that he would pay it off in instalments. Luckily for him, he was still living in his parents' house then, so he could save money that would have been used for rent to pay off his house.

In addition, he had to sell his car and add the money to the funds he got from his many side businesses to pay for the house. Several netizens were impressed and took to the comments to share their thoughts. YEN.com.gh compiles a few reactions below.
