Diaspora Property Investment Calculator

Your $50,000 USD savings can buy an ₦83M property in Nigeria today. But rental income of ₦3M/year = only $1,807 at current rates — and naira depreciation erodes this further. Know the FX math before you buy.

Diaspora Investment Considerations

FX risk: African currencies tend to depreciate against USD/GBP/EUR. This increases your buying power when purchasing, but reduces rental yield in foreign currency terms over time.
Remote management: Budget 10–15% for a property manager if you\'re based abroad. Use the Property Management Fee Calculator.
Title verification: Critical for diaspora buyers who can\'t visit frequently. Use the Land Title Verification Checklist.
Repatriation: Verify you can send rental income abroad. Nigeria has CBN restrictions on FX repatriation; Kenya and South Africa are more straightforward.
Tax obligations: Rental income may be taxable in BOTH your country of residence AND the property\'s country. Check for Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs).
Legal representation: Always have YOUR OWN lawyer in the property\'s country. Never use the seller\'s lawyer.
