The equation about rent is like this:

The wise man finds a house and goes to the bank to obtain a mortgage to buy the house. He intents that one day the house will be not only his but will be loan free.

Once he has obtained the mortgage he says to himself, why should i pay the monthly payments till the mortgage is fully paid. This to him not a nice idea and headage.

He says to himself why not find someone to pay the mortgage for me..and sure enough he finds someone who is so excited to not only pay the mortgage monthly rates but also stays in the house keeping it safe till the mortgage in fully paid at which time the guy who initially obtained the mortgage can say to the good Samaritan.. I need to occupy my house.

Question: who bought the house and who is the final owner ?


@streetwise, there is no way monthly rentals can match monthly mortgage payments.

Take an example, a house costing Kes. 6.5M will attract monthly mortgage payments of Kes. 90K* while monthly rental for the house will be about Kes. 30K.

*Loan interest rate, 15%; Tenor, 15 years

And where is the owner living while renting out his house?

Sound advice there. I've always wondered with people who put money in the bank, money that should be making you more money! I've been fighting my chama on this.

Second is salaried employees who look forward to their salaries so that they can spend it! If you are paying rent from your salary, you are a slave:-(

hapo you have really caught some of us!


If this is true, then more than 90 % of Kenyan salaried employees are slave. it got me thinking - 12 yrs a slave?

I find this mentality of taking mortgages rather self defeating. Why would you tie down your income that has potential to redeem you off the shackles of povery for so many years in the name of comfort!

Well, it all depends on the % of income that you are willing to tie down. How long would you be able to pay your rent in the neighborhood where you are comfortable?

I agree with @mwekez@ji and @The optimist 110%

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
