Real estate tycoon, Mr. Ebo Acquah, shared his inspiring story in a YouTube interview about how he became a real estate mogul after working as a gardener
Mr. Acquah is building over 5000 houses in Ghana and owns several gated communities in Kasoa and other parts of the country
Mr. Acquah stated that he started as a gardener and made enough money from the business to build his first house
After making enough money, he bought about 12 plots of land for 200 cedis in the early 1990s, which is about 2 pesewas today. Mr. Acquah added that he bought the plot without knowing what to use it for.
Mr. Acquah told his interviewer that after buying the vast piece of land, people began to infringe on the property, so he had to build houses to prevent trespassing. Mr. Ebo Acquah eventually sold the two 2 bedroom houses he initially built on the land, which began his venture into the real estate business.
