Should You Consider Joint Ventures in Real Estate? Pros, Risks & Tips

Joint Ventures (JVs) are strategic partnerships between landowners, developers, or investors. Done right, they reduce financial burden and increase profit margins.

Why Consider a JV?

  • Share financial burden
  • Access bigger projects
  • Combine expertise (e.g., developer + landowner)
  • Risk-sharing

Types of JV in Nigeria:

  • Landowner + Developer
  • Investor + Builder
  • Government + Private Sector

Risks to Watch:

  • Disagreements over profit sharing
  • Unclear responsibilities
  • Delays due to funding or permits
