Get and vet deals (address and iron out the wrinkles) and function as an investment portal for investors. (You know good contractors, suppliers, etc.) Continued success, and greatest of wishes to Ghana.

    You're doing great bro. My only problem is the house price are too high. This will only cause problems in the near future. Look at the western world now with house prices. Ask yourself this every black person building house to sell, who making all the money the one who imported the materials, the outside. Looking importing materials from country like India, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, Iran, Poland, Japan, Belarus, Russia, Turkey. Those are all the country the western world get there materials and good from. If you goes there and buy it is cheaper than they bring it there and sell to you, know one thing they price it in USD to take the money back out the country. Keep up the good work.

      @rushasare Respectfully I agree with @kehindeemiabataThe primary aim is to showcase the property and not spend 95% of the time focusing the camera on the host and the guest. Mr. Asare should watch other successful bloggers such as Jasmine AMA, Vanessa Kanbi and Wode Maya when they showcase properties.

    When contacting an interview, there are two things you can improve on:
    1. Be precise and straightforward with your questions. Avoid talking about yourself, as the focus should be on the guest.
    2. Work on your elocution. Speaking in a forced or affected manner can make it difficult for others to understand you. This is common among Africans who have lived or are currently living in America and try to sound American, which can be confusing. Thank you..
