Much like any investment, real estate investing involves certain known and unknown risks, and there is no guarantee of performance.
Africa Land Developers specifically targets real estate investments in West Africa. Some African countries experience political and economic instability while others have shown stability for decades. Ghana has been an independent country for more than 65 years and has shown significant political and economic stability, which is why many of our investments originate in this country. Investments in Ghana are subject to normal economic volatility, specifically with respect to currency value and other geopolitical circumstances inherent to the African region.
Africa Land Developers takes precautions to mitigate currency risks by denominating all deals in US dollars. We also limit our deals to short- and mid-term duration (6 months to 3 years) to mitigate the impact of unforeseeable future geopolitical or economic events.
Africa Land Developers has extensive connections to West African countries that allow us to source and offer deals unavailable to most real estate investors.
Because financial markets are less mature in some countries and financial capital is less readily available from financial institutions on good terms, Africa Land Developers is able to negotiate deals that mutually benefit both real estate developers and investors. As a result, we are able to target returns of 20% or higher, which tends to be higher than the returns most investors can anticipate in other regions like the United States.
Africa Land Developer makes money from the real estate we own with our investors. This includes profits from the interest on loans and the sale of properties. We also charge management fees to cover our costs and carried interest fees to generate profits. See the question on fees under "Deal Structure" for more information.
