Africa’s Real Estate Boom Is Just Getting Started | How to Invest Safely

26 Dec 2025

Description

In today’s Earn Your Leisure episode, Mark Saint‑Julien (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) breaks down the real truth about investing in real estate across Africa. He explains how he first entered the market, why cash is still king in many African countries due to limited trust in banks, and how investors can avoid common scams. The conversation dives into the three essential land contracts everyone must understand, why cities like Dakar are seeing rising prices with steady demand, and how access to reliable information remains one of the biggest barriers for investors.   Mark also highlights where everyday investors can find real opportunities as Africa’s middle class rapidly expands. From the biggest mistakes people make when investing on the continent to realistic cost-of-living insights—like living comfortably in Ivory Coast on $1,500 a month—this episode puts numbers and context behind the hype. The discussion closes with a look at why six-figure earners have outsized purchasing power in Africa, the surprising reality that most travel within Africa is by Africans themselves, and which countries currently offer the best real estate buying opportunities.   #EarnYourLeisure #AfricaInvesting #AfricanRealEstate #DiasporaInvesting #GlobalWealth #RealEstateEducation #InvestInAfrica #FinancialLiteracy #WealthBuilding #EmergingMarketsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
