His advice is resonating with many young people struggling with high rent prices that make it difficult to buy property.
Nana Okuoba says building a house isn’t as hard as many people think.
According to him, if someone claims it’s difficult, it simply means they don’t know enough about the process. He encourages people to talk to experienced builders to get proper guidance.
He suggests starting small and planning carefully. You can begin building even with just ₵1,000 a month.
Nana Okuabo suggested savings
Start by saving and preparing yourself, then consider looking for land. Save ₵200 or 300 each month and gradually work toward buying a small plot, which could cost about ₵15,000.
Nana Okuoba also stresses the importance of saving any extra money you receive. If you get gifts or unexpected cash, save part of it. Even small amounts add up over time, and those savings will help you buy land.
Once you have land, he advises staying disciplined throughout the building process.
Buy a little material each month, such as two bags of cement. Before long, you’ll have enough to make meaningful progress. Knowledge is also important.
Understand how building works so workers don’t take advantage of you.
For example, if your land is 70 by 100 feet, you should know how many blocks are needed for a wall before construction with the right calculation.

The man, popularly known as Property Wise, advised that fraudsters have become brazen, knowing all too well that people have that burning desire to buy land, which this section of unscrupulous dealers are seeking to take advantage of.
