In this review, we’ll be taking a deep look at the Zylus Investment proposition to see if it is really worth the risk of investing at this time.

That said, let’s dive in.

Is Zylus Investment Legit or Scam?
There is no way to ascertain if Zylus Investment is a scam, however, the company looks really promising.
Zylus Group International and all its subsidiaries are registered, and the company is regulated by the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA), and a member of Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN).
The company is also recognized as a long-time player of the real estate sector in Lagos State.
Can You Lose Money With Zylus Investment?
Zylus gives investors no guarantee of returns. So, you can lose 100% of your money if anything goes wrong.
And considering the nature of real estate investments in Nigeria, many things can go wrong.
Zylus however tries to assure its prospective investors by affirming that the company is “committed to scheduled payments regardless of the risks traditionally associated with real estate.”
The company also claims to give investors “the assurance of secured investments” because Zylus is “intentional about upholding the ethics” of their business.
However, that is not enough to guarantee that investors would receive their returns as at when due.
Zylus has not proven or shown any insurance cover for its projects, which means that the company is relying on its industry experience to manage the successful completion of its projects.
This is not sufficient enough to build investors’ trust considering the fact that Zylus is not putting enough resources in place to manage losses if and when they happen in such a risky endeavour like real estate development.
Should You Invest with Zylus Investment?
Investing with Zylus is quite dicey, but you can give them a trial. It is advised to invest with only money you can afford to lose.
Considering that they are regulated by the necessary real estate bodies, they would be required to follow specific real estate development regulations, which could significantly reduce some of their risks associated with real estate development in Nigeria.
I also like that Zylus has a short-term investment plan with the Land Banking Development Project, which allows investors to test the efficiency of the company by investing for just 6 months for a 15% return.
