Build Back Home or Buy in the Diaspora First? -12Month Mortgage Challenge Every African Family Needs

Many Africans living in the diaspora face one critical property decision:

👉 Should we build a house back home first, or buy property where we live now?

In this powerful episode, we break down this question using 30+ years of real estate and investment experience, real-life diaspora property mistakes, and proven wealth-building strategies for African families abroad.

If you are renting in the UK, Europe, Canada, or Australia — while thinking about building back home — this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

✅ The advantages and disadvantages of building back home while living abroad
✅ Why many diaspora houses remain unfinished, empty, or financially draining
✅ Why buying property in the diaspora first often creates stronger and safer long-term wealth
✅ When building back home actually makes sense
✅ How emotional decisions can delay mortgage approval and financial progress

THE 12-MONTH DIASPORA MORTGAGE SAVINGS CHALLENGE

As part of this episode, we introduce the 12-Month Diaspora Mortgage Savings Challenge, designed specifically for African couples living abroad who want to move from renting to home ownership.

👉 The challenge is simple and intentional:
Couples are encouraged to save a minimum of £1,000 per month towards a mortgage deposit.

That means:
• £1,000 per month
• £12,000 in 12 months
• A lender-ready mortgage deposit by the end of 2026

This is not about pressure or competition.
It’s about discipline, structure, and building habits that banks respect.

Why this mortgage savings challenge matters:

✅ Demonstrates strong saving behaviour mortgage lenders look for
✅ Builds a realistic deposit without stress borrowing or debt
✅ Improves affordability and financial confidence
✅ Helps couples move from “planning” to actual home ownership
✅ Encourages saving to be treated like a non-negotiable monthly bill

If you can consistently save £1,000 a month as a couple,
you are closer to a mortgage than you think.

By the end of 2026, couples who commit to this challenge will be:
• Better positioned for mortgage approval
• Less dependent on family contributions
• More confident making property decisions in the diaspora

This episode is not about choosing one country over another.
It’s about sequence, wisdom, and long-term financial thinking.

Build your life where you live first.
Build your legacy back home — later.

🎯 This episode is especially for:
• African families renting abroad
• First-time buyers in the diaspora
• Couples building back home while still renting
• Anyone serious about generational wealth
