On the other hand, the second speaker, Esosa Atemgweye spoke about building wealth via real estate in the changing economy and advised the conference to buy lands to flip and not necessarily to build for one's personal use. She emphasized, "Do not have the mindset that you're enriching your landlord's pocket at your expense by paying rent."
