LESSONS FRÓM MY FAILED REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS.
Real estate partnerships can be a great way to pool resources, expertise, and capital, but they can also be risky and complicated if not handled properly. I've been through several failed partnerships in the real estate business, and along the way, I learned some valuable lessons. If you're thinking about forming a partnership in real estate, here's my advice based on my own experiences, what went wrong and how you can avoid those pitfalls. When the Money Comes In, Attitudes Change.One of the most significant lessons I've learned is that everything seems to work well in a partnership, until the money starts flowing in. When that happens, people's attitudes can change quickly. Greed, jealousy, and independence often emerge once the business starts generating income. This shift can lead to conflicts, mistrust, and even the collapse of what initially seemed like a promising partnership.In my past experiences, I found that partners who are easy to work with before the money cames in often

WHÈN AN ARCHITECT IS ALSO AN ENGINEER.
The roles of an architect and an engineer are distinct yet interdependent in the world of design and construction. Architects are the creative visionaries who shape the aesthetics and functionality of a structure, while engineers are the analytical problem-solvers who ensure that these visions become reality, adhering to safety and structural standards.

In the distant past, architects and engineers were indistinguishable, both serving the function of constructing structures like Gothic cathedrals as stonemasons.   As societal expectations for building functionality increased over time, a growing array of specialized roles emerged. Technological advancements further elevated these expectations, ultimately resulting in the differentiation of architects and engi

I LOST A LAND TITLE BEFORE TRANSFERRING IT, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Losing a land title is stressful enough, but if you lost it before completing the transfer, then "yours are bad." Why? Because that land title does not yet belong to you, it still legally belongs to the person whose name is on it. That means you cannot apply for a replacement yourself. Instead, you'll need to go back to the original owner and work with them to process a replacement. But before you panic, let's go through the steps to resolve this situation, determine the status of the lost title, and take the necessary legal actions to recover it. Step 1: Check the Status of the Title. If you had already begun the transfer process, then before assuming the worst, first confirm whether the title had actually been transferred into your name. If you had already paid the transfer fees but had not yet taken possession of the title, conduct an online title search through the Ministry of Lands, Housing & Urban Development portal or visit the land registry office to check its status.
