Queenie said to Zionfelix that he initially charged €750 (GH¢9,136) as rent, but adjusted it down due to specific challenges to €550 (GH¢6,695).
“When the person moves in, I will renovate and hopefully rent it out for €1000 (GH¢12,182).
How Queenie bought the apartment
The young lady said she got the house at €100,000 (GH¢1,217.109), which she thought was cheap when she bought it.
“I was lucky. If I want to buy the same apartment today, I will get it for around 230,000 to 240,000 euros.”
He also shared how he was able to pay for the apartment.
“In Belgium, you don’t pay cash. You need about 10% and some administrative fees. So I borrowed 10% from my parents and paid them back.”
In an interview with zionfelix, said it’s been seven years since Queenie bought the condo and said her original plan was to buy another condo every three years.
