I help Nigerians in the US, UK and Canada choose the right location, understand the real numbers, set up properly, and build the systems to run their shortlet remotely.
Most people abroad have the same four questions, and getting them wrong is expensive.
Where should I invest, and in which apartment?
How much will it really cost to set up?
Will it actually make money, and when do I get it back?
How do I run it properly from abroad?
Here's one example: a premium one-bedroom in Lekki Phase 1, rented, not owned.
If your lease is two years, the numbers have to work before you sign. That's exactly what we work out together.
Illustrative example based on market prices and my own setup costs. Your numbers will depend on your unit, location and pricing.
For Nigerians abroad planning a shortlet in Lagos.
Taking 3 founding clients this month.
Message me “LAUNCH” →For operators already running a shortlet that isn't performing.
Message “LAUNCH” or “PROFIT”. I'll ask a few quick questions about where you are.
We talk through your goals, budget and options, and confirm the package is the right fit.
You get your numbers, your setup plan and your operating system, with my support as you launch.
I'm Yinka Okunlade. Since 2019, I've run shortlet apartments in Lekki Phase 1, all from the United States. I've handled the occupancy swings, pricing decisions, staffing, power costs, renovations, and the systems it takes to keep everything running from thousands of miles away.
I hold an MBA from Texas A&M and spent years building systems and processes in the corporate world before going full-time on my own businesses. That's the approach I bring to every shortlet: clear numbers and clear systems, not guesswork.
No. I work with people who already own a property and people planning to rent one. Whether to buy or rent is one of the first things we work through together, because it changes the numbers completely.
My own apartments are in Lekki Phase 1, so that's where my operating experience is deepest. We can evaluate any Lagos location you're considering using the same approach: real demand, realistic rates and true costs.
The Launch Package sets you up to run your shortlet yourself, with the right team, systems and reports in place. If you're looking for ongoing management, ask me about it and we'll discuss what makes sense.
Send me a message and I'll ask a few questions about your situation first, then share the investment and what's included. I'm currently taking 3 founding clients.
No one honest can guarantee that. What I can do is help you see the real numbers before you invest, avoid the expensive mistakes I've seen, and set you up with the systems that give you the best chance of success.
Send me a message and tell me where you are. I'll take it from there.
