WHAT $45,000 GETS YOU IN GHANA | BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSES IN GHANA AS A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER 

I hope you enjoyed this video :) If you are interested in these please email shaun@vanessakanbi.com and we can put you in contact with Kofi :)

Talking about the foresight for Kofi’s father to purchase land 20 years ago. Everyone’s dad should’ve foreseen this to help create generational wealth

I remember when he told me his plans to do more affordable housing 2 years ago. Kofi is such an inspiration.

Please buy more lands now for investments like this 10-20 years time. Your kids will bless you for this. Peace

Vanessa could you please have your camera person actually show the parts of the house he points to instead of focusing on you. Thank you for this video.

This is a must buy for anyone who is thinking of Peace, Nature, Ownership and capital appreciation, Well done KOFI.

Chaale you did it again 💋my Ghanian 🇬🇭 family and Nigeria 🇳🇬 let’s gather here and take selfie 🤳

Kofi has amazing eye contact😷😉🤗. A big plus when doing business.

You have encouraged me too keep working hard. At those prices I can move too Ghana (Africa). Thx from Texas. #Savethatmoney.

This guy is great looking out for the people who can't afford expensive houses, this was great thinking on his part..

That's what im talking about! I love to see SUPER Affordable homes that look amazing. Not everyone wanting to move to the continent is rich. Not everyone wants to live in expensive Accra either. Love it. Please show more of homes at this price point. Please please PLEASE.

Laudable project which fills a void in the housing market. I believe the gentleman is also a part of the development team at Ayi Mensah Park. He was interviewed by Wode Maya on his piece on Ayi Mensah Park a while back.

The whole concept of insulating the walls with styrofoam is such an amazing idea considering how hot Ghana can get, this is some amazing work!!

All sold, after this episode, I'm sure. Well done Vanessa! And Kofi, I adore you

You can plant a little garden, plant a mango tree. I love it.

Ayi Mensah homes visionary Kofi Anku.. I need one of these affordable homes

Thank you Vanessa and Kofi for suffering in the heat to show us these places ha ha

Kofi Anku. Game changer in property development in Ghana 👌🏽From Ayi Mensah Park to this. Simple, affordable, modern housing built and fitted to a high standard. Designed to suit the hot climate and take full advantage of the natural light. Glad to see the traditional louvre windows being used! Personally they are suited to our climate. Very nicely done 👍🏽

In the UK you can get a garage just big enough for a mini or two bikes for around £30k. So yeah, good value.

That's a lot of home at that price point, must be the start of the affordable home revolution in Ghana, good to see

Amazing 🤩

Big ups to Kofi Anku 👍🏽👍🏽. He is doing a damn great job in Ghana with housing developments. Great visionary with a mission.

This guy is a genius 🤯

I love the way he and his team does everything around like the beds,plants,etc

Affordable housing eventually in Ghana - finishes look amazing

Excellent video thank you and nothing like a FINE knowledgeable Brother helping his People Peace

With the Cement price currently on the market this is actually very affordable

So many positives in the video starting from the dad investing in the land 20 years ago. Well done!

Hi Vanessa just today we made down payment for two bedrooms, we really like the place✌🏾♥️❤️🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇺🇲

I'd very much would've liked to hear him expound on the materials he's using. What's the R value of the insulation? Is the drywall mold resistant? Was the lumber used to make the stud walls pressure treated? From his description it sounds like he's building using the new building regulations Ghana implemented in 2019 (which are international building standards). I've watched a lot of new home development videos in Ghana (for investment opportunities) and the construction quality is cleary very bad in 90% of them, like really bad. What Kofi is doing is light years ahead of his competition. But what I love most is Kofi puts green space in his developments, he understands the value of it. These homes will age very well from an aesthetic standpoint. As the neighborhood matures and people plant gardens it will become very beautiful over time. I'm following his work closely. Also, I see the American sensibility in him when he said he was being lowkey, just building then would put the product out once it's completed. That's a VERY Midwestern approach (shout-out to Cleveland) probably why I like this guy so much. 😁😅

Vanessa this is Elizabeth From the USA i will get in touch later in the day after work so you can connect me to Kofi i cant wait to talk him i am not a Ghanian am a US Citizeen and have never been to Ghana.

usually the algorithm gets the recommendations wrong. THIS wasn't one of those times!

Who is this enlightened ass brother? Talking about forest floors and stuff. I stan this dude.

I love to buy the three bed house for myself as a retirement home I like Pokuase well well God bless this company it God sent

This guy gets it. Wonderful interview, Vanessa. 🔥

Kofi Anku I have a little feedback for you. Whereas I am full of praise for the excellent approach of balancing style, functionality and cost to create what I believe is best-in-class USA-inspired affordable homes in Ghana, I was less than happy with the lack of transparency that I encountered when I began the purchase process. The sales person had convienently forgot to mention there were extra fees beyond the $45000 and had to spring an additional GH5000 on me as documentation fees. When, I asked that it should be waived seeing no justification as to why 1. It was not included in the final price of the home and 2. why nowhere in the marketing materials is extra fees mentioned, he came back and said we could split the document fees with Pokuase Heights absorbing 50% but varied flooring material to Terrazzo instead of tiles which was what the original material in the Vanessa Kanbi video showed. While I believe Ghanaians may be accustomed to this way of doing things and these nice affordable homes may have been targeted to middle class people in Ghana, I assumed that by showcasing the home via Vanessa Kanbi’s channel, there was implicit targeting of people living abroad as well. If this is right, I suggest that the sales process be improved to match best practices . I don’t know other parts of the world, but a documentation fee of close to $1000 is ridiculous in the USA. At most in a cash transaction, recording fees/notary fees/hoa transfer documents fees should not exceed $400. And this is when a tiltle will be delivered at the time of closing on the home and all fees are mentioned upfront. No extra hassle to go chase other documents like home title after purchase, as in the usual case in Ghana. Why not include all fees in the home price and sell it $46,000- no fine print? I guess this may be a seller’s market for now so little mistakes like these will have no impact on profitability, but when the tides turn to a buyer’s market, this lack of transparency or lack of finesse in pricing structure may be costly. In as much as I have decided to halt my purchase because of these unexpected costs, I am hoping to come back to the table when phase 2 is in motion, and wish that the marketing material would be improved and capture all the cost issues. Thanks

I commend Anku for dong this. I only wish that he makes some accessible and exclusively for the average continental Ghanaians who struggle with finding suitable accommodation on a small wage. I also think that building apartments and town houses could conserve more land as well as keeping costs down.

Great job from Vanessa asking detailed questions that any buyer would want to know.

Greetings Vanessa Kanbi, it's great to see affordable housing for the average Ghanaian or Diasporan. It's also good to see constructional contractors making affordable housing available for those seeking housing and not waiting on the government. Thanks for sharing.

Finally, backyard space!😃😍

this is reaily nice, iove the back garden.

Those house are nice and prices are affordable.

Wow Kofi is doing a good job, ayimensah was amazing. This is definitely affordable.

Beautiful homes! Went to Pokuase before, it is quite affordable, and upcoming around there, it also has a straight, and easy connection to Accra, win win 😊

wow , im in London currently and looking to move back and startup a business. guys like this are making me very motivated ... Good work Vanessa ...soon I will invite u to showcase what I'm bringing to our people .One love , One heart .

It's sad that it takes a brother like this to look out for his People and he is from America when you have Black Millionaires who buy 15 Luxury Cars and 2 or 3 Mansions just to feel Grand

All 12 of those houses COMBINED are less than the median price home in Los Angeles.

Kofi, lunch on me. Great job, you're the best.

I had a chance to meet with Kofi when I was there earlier this year. I seen his last project. His team work and vision is amazing. We cannot wait to invest in Ghana

Very impressive! I'm wondering if the estates will include common playgrounds and greenspace? Also, will it include retail spaces to avoid having to drive a distance for common daily provisions and services? (The more walkable the neighborhoods, the healthier the residents, and the greater a sense of community.) What about internet accessibility and reliability?

Hi Vanessa, I have watched your videos for quite a while. This one is absolutely wonderful in more than one way. I learned a lot from just listening to you and Kofi. This man has great ideas which he is implementing. He has vision and he does not appear to be greedy. At some point in the next year or two, I would like to visit Ghana and meeting with you and Kofi will be my priority. I just subscribed to your channel, finally! Thanks for a most informative video!

Awesome. Great idea. Actually seeing drainage being built before road shows the developers put much thought into it

HOA fees$43.37usd 250 cedi per month. $45,000 2bedroom $59,000 3 bedroom not bad 🤔

God bless you Kofi for the good work you are doing in Ghana see the need for low income families, well done

This man's eye contact is impeccable

Salute Kofi Anku.

I have to say, this is an incredible project by a very smart and meticulous man...congratulations, keep up the good work and God bless!!

Now this is legacy building, literally!!!

I’m in Adusah in pokuase, it’s very nice....

Yep, affordable homes built for the ordinary Ghanaians.

I initially was wondering why those louvers but once he explained I felt like a dummy. Lol. Nice video 👏🏾

Love your videos, i want to visit ghana.

Well done. The price is good for Ghana. These are the people who care about Ghanaian people

This was awesome! Great ideas about Eco-living. Community solar power and water! I love it. I’m inspired. We appreciate you Vanessa and Kofi 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Well done V. Kanbi! 👏🏿

This is excellent. I wish the developer and all of the hard workers involved much success!!!!

I wish I knew about this insulation technique applied to the cement blocks when I was building my dream house. I would have done a similar thing.

Very nice and the affordability factor is excellent!

Need just a little bit more room in the kitchen. Nice house!!

Good video and actually affordable decent looking houses. Are they planning to have closed gutters?

Beautiful house !Africa is the future for diaspora !

I absolutely love it! So serene. Cement pricing was 33cedis when I started my home, the prices for materials are insane!

He real doing a great job because he is thinking about every one not just the people that live out side the country keep up the great job Kofi. The light colors are butter, thank for greens but next time can your camera guy please show more of the house and not your face so much but all and all the information was great.

I'm curious how his father avoided any land issues whilst holding the land for 20 years. Nowadays folks say you need to build on any land you buy within 1 year or someone will come along and build on top of it and claim it as their own(and the courts in Ghana back whoever has a structure on the land apparently)

beautiful and simple affordable houses. well done Kofi you are such an inspiration

Thoughtful construction and very nice!

I was thinking of moving to Ghana. Really had my heart set on it. But you can't even enter Ghana without the clot shot. Let alone, buy a house without it. Im looking more towards south Africa now. Very nice home for us who cannot afford houses here in the states. Thank you for your tour Vanessa.

Wow well done Kofi

Proud of you proud of you proud of you you're doing an amazing job keep doing what you're doing you are calm you are composed your elegant you are informative and above all you know what you're doing we thank you may God bless you continue what you doing love the haters and keep succeeding

Beautifully designed ✅✅ Thank you for sharing Vanessa. May God strengthen you, keep the great job. ✊🏾✊🏾❤️🇨🇲🇨🇲

Thanks Vanessa! Kofi’s vision gave me a vision. I would like to email him. A great video Vanessa. From 🇺🇸

Sooo impressed with the solar back up system!!!

Well done Vanessa!

this is amazing.... affordable low cost prices... and wow the size of the property is incredible I'd be very happy and live comfortably in 1 of those houses.... beautifully designed well done 👏

Wow! This is a bombshell Venesa, very affordable.

The insulin in the walls and ceiling aspect of it is a great idea. Save much on electric

Love your channel and what you’re doing in Ghana.

Now this price give me hope of returning home

This looks great. What confused me was the kitchen. You need to explain how living in Ghana works. Where is the food stored and where will I eat.

Very impressed with the concept and the cost.

Wow ..My tundra truck cost 41 thousand ...this is amazing..I better hurry up and get one

Affordable &cute, someone keep one for me. I am coming to buy!

Well done. Great material

Keep doing AFFORDABLE Housing ...❤️❤️❤️

Looks awesome for the price. My only issue is that it’s far from work 🥺

Great investments in Ghana for our people here in America looking to come to the motherland for regular visits or relocating.. Looking forward to investing.

Thank you for giving back.

Well done Vanessa 👏🏾

HomeGirl love your videos

Hello Vanessa, Can you make a video of real-estate companies that build houses for people in the diaspora. Would really help. Thanks though
