What Prompted You To Invest In Land?

Before this time, I had never owned land due to people’s experiences of being scammed and not allocated their lands. A friend of mine eventually introduced me to Buildbay and advised me to key into it. Since he’s someone I trust, I decided to give it a shot and the best part about it is that I could pay in installments, this caught my interest and I became a proud landlady.
