@Pennystocker...Totally speechless....I spent via Relatives 4M Kshs constructing a 3 Bed Bungalow (would post the pic, if only i knew how on wazua) in Siaya and here you are presenting 4 Flats for almost the same price. Sad Sad . I knew i got ripped off. Its really hard if you aint on site.
That work is amazing Mr. Pennystocker, great inspiration for me with my 1/2 acre in Riat/Kanyakwar. Its good to know that it can be done.
Thank you.

@Jaggernaut, You are right I based outside Kenya....but I'm lucky to have a job that I can do from anywhere, remotely! Been in Kenya since Nov. 2012 specifically for the project. Once done in about a month, then off I'll go again! Management will be left for a company in Kisumu, at a minimal fee ofcourse. That's why I'm asking a question on the other post/thread.

Bwana Penny,

Congrats on getting the project almost done. You've fired me up that I finally registered to the forum!


Swali on your expected rent. Is this typical or does 30K put you on the high end for Kisumu? What would you expect if you did a two bedroom?

I've been looking at Ongata Rongai and Kitengela and i'm being quoted potential rents of 18 - 24K for a two bedroom in these towns.

If I can get 30K in KSM, maybe I should redirect my attention!

To all, like I said in my initial post, almost a year ago...it's never to early to start investing for your retirement! 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!

@kendata26....Take a look at my plans! These units are pretty big, hence the 30k - I could have put six 2 bedroom units on the same plot! My location is also pretty good place with lots of private homes.
On average, there are a lot of 2 bedroom units for 20k - 25k rent, depending on the location. Good luck with your venture!

I have...I buy it. It definitely opens the range of possibilities if returns in mashinani are as good as in Nairobi.

I'd just go to the quarry.....that's what I did. I took day with my fundi and we selected, well he did, all the stones wanted. We brought them to the site and they were chongoed there. I went to Kedowa quarry by the way!
