Frequently Asked Questions

Does pre-approval guarantee final mortgage approval? +

In most cases, yes — only if your income/inflow has been verified and the property has legit title documents.

What happens after I upload my receipt? +

You’ll be paired with a mortgage specialist from a MREIF-affiliated banking partner.

How long does the application process take before funds are dispersed? +

If all documents from all parties are ready and available, our expedited process takes 4–5 weeks flat.

How much do I have to make to access the mortgage? +

It depends on how much you want to access. The rough formula is to divide by 30. If you want ₦100M, your monthly income should be around ₦3.3M minimum. If you want ₦60M, your income should be around ₦2M per month, and so on.

Do I have to live in Nigeria to access the mortgage? +

Not at all. The property must be in Nigeria — you don’t have to be here. You must, however, operate a Nigerian bank account to complete the mortgage process.

Do the banks accept collateral? +
