Final interview.
They ask: “Are you willing to relocate or travel 50% of the time?”
Your mind blanks.
You say: “Yes, absolutely! I love traveling!”
Interview ends. No offer.
Here’s what they actually want…
Picture this… Ajo but with houses 😭
You and your friends pool money together and buy a rundown property in cash. You renovate it, convert it into an HMO, and put it on rent so it starts generating income.
Then you refinance (mortgage it), pull out the equity, and use that money as a deposit to acquire another property…this time in one person’s name. Same process: renovate, rent it out, then refinance again.
You rotate it round the group, one person at a time, using each completed project to fund the next. It might take a few years, but at the end, everyone has a house in their own name, and you all still retain a shared stake in the first property.
Will you get involved in such a deal?
Is it worth it?
It was when I was doing Evri delivery that I saw houses in this Birmingham. There are some post codes around Sutton Coldfield where you can’t find first generation immigrants.
One faithful morning, I delivered a parcel for to the address of an ex-Nigerian goalkeeper. I thought I’d see him and have a chance to say HI but no one opened the door for me, they gave me instruction via the door video device to leave the parcel near the door 💀
Big houses that can contain up to 20 cars in their drives. Bro, forget. Class dey.
Abeg, let everyone know their level.
If their absence allows you to breathe, laugh, enjoy life, feel good about yourself again, rest well, fellowship with the Lord or come out from under the dark cloud of criticism and fear, you might want to make their absence permanent.
Some people just don't know how to treat others. Their selfishness beclouds their sense of right judgement.

Nobody can throw my past in my face.
I'll sit there and tell you everything that happened start to finish. I made peace with the dark parts in my life. Maybe sit down and take some notes.
