I'm only 29yrs and in about 4 months, I'll be collecting 120K from rent @30K per unit...on top of my 240K net salary (that's 360K)! Looking at putting up 6more units in a 5 years time, working for 5 more years after that....retirement at 40yrs! I'm loving this! Good one........so about Ksh 6M invested for a Ksh 120K monthly return (Ksh 1.44M per year). Thats about a gross return of 24% p.a.....not bad! You giving me ideas. Happy hunting.

Congrats Pennystocker... A job well done.
2 questions: when you calculate the cost per square metre, what does it come to? Your total figure is rather encouraging
And I have an 8th piece at Polyview (makaburini) and my friends advice that spacious 2 bedroom would earn between 15 - 20k. How is it that you anticipate 30k for your units located 15km away cf mine 4km from CBD

@a4architect, is this possible in nairobi? @Wilyum. The lowest lowest lowest cost possible for a very poorly finsihed building that can be decently rented out is kes 15k per m2. The smallest smallest smallest 2 bd house that you can decently rent out is 40m2. The unit will cost 40m2 x 15k =600k. With 6m, you can build 10 units. If you increase the size and quality , its possible to build 4 units with 6m. As Iron Sharpens Iron, So one Man Sharpens Another.

I can demand 30K/month because of the following:
1. Three spacious bedrooms (two bathrooms - master one en-suite), spacious living room and a separate dining!
2. Location is Mamboleo. Pretty safe area and very fast developing.
Below is my floor plan! First floor is identical to ground floor. 
3. I have ample parking - talking of 6 cars!I'm hoping to have this done by July and occupied by August - we'll see if I make the deadline! “None but ourselves can free our minds.”

I am yet to tile the floors, build cabinets and interior doors, weka vyo and paint To finish with the remainder of 1.3 m , you need to be extra careful since finishes and external works e.g gate,septic tank ,kplc, water tank,water connection,driveway, landscaping take 30 to 40% of costs. 30% of 4.7m is 1.4m. so it will slightly pass the 6m mark if cost saving features such as material specifications and labour utilisation are not done keenly.

Happy hunting.  @ Penny stocker - very impressive. Two questions: One, what was the cost of the land? Two, isn't it time you changed your handle? Those ain't pennies no more, LoL!

I own the land outright, which is a good thing. the project is simply superb. The photos speak it all. You have given many of us a new lease of life. many guys did believe that it can be done. The wazua family is indebted to you. Congratulations are in order. if possible kindly give the breakdown of the costs, challenges etc as you said you would. In the spirit of wazua... it would be beautiful if more guys came up with threads on projects they are doing and the challenges and lessons they encounter. That way the learning is more practical. Projects could range from houses, businesses or even farming. It is by sharing that we may even learn a thing or two.
