Investing while renting is the way to go.


There is a reason why Equity Bank, Tuskys, Nakumatt to name but a few don't own buildings.


Really?

Porojo.. Equity owns several properties

They prefer to lease mostly but the holding company probably owns the UpperHill HQs building.


The Upperhill Equity HQ building is owned by UAP.

I know JM owns many properties but not sure of any owned by the bank.

Somehow I have been - this industry is very tough. You just have to have another hustle until you break even.

Unlike musicians, artists and writers are yet to be 'celebrated' in Kenya.

Having been in business, a place to call home that is loan free should come first. Business can be tricky sometimes!

From the up and downs of business,I have come to appreciate the value of a home...whose compound I use to generate some agri-business income. Some things cannot be measured by money..but makes all the sense when money runs out sometimes.

Should an artist expect to be celebrated? Should an artist have a home, should he/she expect mercy from accountants?

I'm trying to find time to understand Katarikawe, and I'm so confused at the moment...
