Hello, great Wazua family,
Been a long time. Updates - My first project
[HERE] was a success. I learned a lot and the experience was invaluable. Self-build is hard work but you get exactly what you want and save a lot of money in the process. I am happy to report that I have had 100% occupancy. What would have been the second project
[HERE] didn't get off the ground due to land issues---grrrr. So I did scrap that project and took time to reflect, went back to school and earned a doctorate degree (a lot of work).....so, should I be called Dr. Penny-Stocker on Wazua? No, Penny-Stocker is just fine. Below is my classmates & I at graduation. What a great bunch of scholars!
Anyway, I have another project planned for Riat/Kajulu Hills - very scenic. Very accessible as well - 200M off Kisumu/Kakamega Road. A five bedroom (all ensuite) unit with a swimming pool on half an acre lot. Wazuans are welcome to stay after completion. Just mention Wazua & you'll get a 15% discount!
Why not apartments, Penny? Below are my reasons!
1. The rental market, for what I would wanna build, is very limited in this market.
2. The "low end" units market is saturated (my opinion) in this lakeside city.
3. The Air BnB & Boutique Hotel biz is picking up as the lakeside city is recording net leisure visitors. I could earn more renting the place on a daily/weekly basis compared to monthly leasing arrangements - just my personal opinion.
4. I will be able to use the house when I'm around.
5. No apartments in this area, just a bunch of single homes.
Take a look at the views & the renders!
