There is research on the most profitable type of real estate investing in terms of limited budget https://tranio.com/traniopedia/tips/high_yields_on_real_estate_where_to_find_them_and_what_to_know/. It says that a short-term rental property would make you a stable and high profit – about 5% yield. To minimise risk, you can use the services of professional management companies (this costs 20−25% of the total rental revenue), the expenses will be rewarded with higher occupancy rates. The best choice is one-bedroom apartment in the center of a big european city.

The best thing about martial arts is it’s really for everybody, no matter their skill level or body type.” Jeffrey Lipton then adds to his encouragement, “I recommend anyone who is interested to give [martial arts] a try, you have nothing to lose, jeffrey lipton permanent value.” He even credits practicing martial arts with improving almost all aspects of his daily life and physically and mentally benefit from being a part of martial arts. Outside of work, Lipton competes in taekwondo competitions and has been doing so for almost 30 years.

I already paid them, EIA report done and all, but still they gather courage to write a long letter with the following words therein "DO NOT commence construction until we grant written authority.."

Have had to forward these NEMA people to the ombudsman.. Even after being paid the 0.1% of total project cost they behave like true civil servants of yester-years; nonchalant!!!

Money from Kileleshwa or from Kawangware is the same. Met a guy with 500 single mabati units. The guy is a large tax payer. His units average 3k each. fanya hesabu, if the math makes sense it makes sense obiero wrote:Speculz wrote:popat wrote:Guyz while you are at this Mabati houses business,someone is giving me the idea leasing land in some of these slum like areas like Uthiru,Kangemi,Kawangware and putting up those single structures.Urguably the monthly rent payable to the land owner goes for like 50k p.m. for a 1/8 of an acre.So you lease for like 10 years.Do the structure and wait for the watejas.Am told that nowadays most of the structures coming up in these areas are done in such a manner since wenyeji hawauzi mashamba.Can someone tells us the possible pitfalls for such a venture.I can imagine considering the minimal cost of this investment you would be better off doing multiple units of such instead of the 5 storied stuctures anywhere in this Nairobi. Major pitfall - The non paying watejas . Keep in mind after the lease ,you leave the structures as is . shocked to see that someone is even thinking of such as an idea

For those who have done bed sitters,
- what's the ideal dimensions
- approx cost per unit
- floor plans options
- anyone tried these new EPS technologies
If we can't upload photos and documents here, can we share on the Wazuans Google group?

True it needs a particular kind of ruthlessness as most of your tenants can hardly hold on to jobs. would be interested if someone here has done any outside Nairobi county obiero wrote:shadowinvestor wrote:Money from Kileleshwa or from Kawangware is the same.

Done it for sometime now. Don't collect the rent yourself if you can't handle the tenants. Get an agent, pay them well(about 10pc) and they pay you by a specific date for every house occupied whether its paid for or not. For you its none of your business whether they have collected or not...yours is to ensure the houses are in good shape, amenities are in place(water, electricity-prepaid obviously, garbage collection, caretaker to clean the place every day-they are low cost and one of the deal to keep them motivated is giving them one of the unit for free as their house plus some monthly salo etc). Good thing is you recoup your money in about 1-2 years. The remain 10 years are your profit. Build many and you can use them to build your house and move on.
