As usual my brother very wise and insightful assessment of current situation and how this affects our building home. Like you I feel east or west home is always best. nothing changes for me. Blessings and I agree let's all stay focused !
My personnel take is that, if you got legal stay in America and you lived here more than 10 years and you are married here with kids, invest here in America. real estate, stock, life insurance for your family. If in the future you decide to move to Ghana, you can always liquidate your real estate take cash back to Ghana and built the house you what. But for the mean time you can buy land and keep it for future. I wont built a house in Ghana knowing I am not ready to move to Ghana or live there six month at a time. I wont built to hire someone to live there and then every month they will send me their water and power bil for me to pay. It is happening to a lot of Ghanaian. When I visit Ghana I stay in hotel just like I do when I travel to other countries. I am only in Ghana for maximum of 3 weeks. If you dont have legal stay in America then built and invest in Ghana.
Thanks for chiming in. I respect your opinion. I’m sure you aren’t the only one with such a take. However there are others who even if they live in Ghana in spurts want to have something they can call their own and not need to perch even if it is just for 3 weeks. You can do both. Look into that some more. Africa is the next “it”; don’t get caught at the back of the line.
I understand your perspective but then if let’s say you are spending $1,500 on hotel stays per year, I would rather build something decent and call it my own. Also in regards to the paying utilities when you don’t live there, I would suggest using solar powered equipments such as exterior security cameras, and lighting. Then get a separate prepaid connection for the caretaker if he/she lives in an outhouse, and let them pay their own electric bill since you are paying them. This is my take. Building back home is important and it’s even more vital due to the current events it doesn’t matter if legal or not or how long you’ve lived here. Anyway that is my opinion.
@ourfamilytree5931 Solar power is good but you have to remember that solar panels need to be maintained as well and also if there isnt enough sunlight during raining season you have to go on local power. I had solar panels at my proprty before. Especially Ghana have lots of dust. So you have to constantly go on the roof top to clean those panels or it will not produce adequate power. $1500 a year for hotel stay is not bad. Thats like saving a $100 a month for the stay. I have spend two times that vacationing in various places with my family in the pass. There is also the trust issue when you send money back home to do anything. Whether is your family or friend the trust is a problem. Investing and saving in the place you currently reside is more beneficial. If you are ready to build or buy in Ghana as long as the cash is there , you can buy right away. I wonder how the white people and the African American go to Ghana that they never been there and drop cash buying homes in legon and other places. Some even bought lands and within a year they built there home and we live and work with them here in America. For me I am following their financial plan. Long term invest. Stocks, 401, and real estate.
I have been waiting for a video like this. We are on the same page. All shall be well. Let’s all create positive coping mechanisms. Also let’s check on our neighbors and give the the support needed.
GREAT Message and the only real/ true answer.
Thank you, Bill!
