Buying property in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Hi,

can a foreigner buy property in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

If so, is it complicated? What is the process of purchasing a property in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

Any tips for buying property, such as a check-list of items to verify ?

Thanks in advance for participating!

I am from DRC and I have seen so many expats buying properties and tough, mining properties in the DRC. It's easy. For more information you can contact me directly.
