What's the definition of low class? I just met a Mombasa guy with
28 Swahili houses, he tells me each cost him an average of 3.5 million to build including a borehole for each. so that's about 98 million.
each house has 10 small one bedroom going for 8,000 each including water,
so each house income per month is ksh. 80,000/-
all 28 houses is ksh. 2,240,000
assuming he built them all in one year? (he built over 5 years) it will take him only 3.5 years to recoup his investments, that's assuming the rent is constant.
well....

Low end refers to the target market not the landlord.. There are 4 different seven storied bedsitter units in Pipeline with 10 houses per floor owned by the immediate former Governor that earn him an average of KES 2,380,000 monthly from rent of KES 8,500 per flat

Wow, now I didn't know he had interests in such..

Now @Obiero, I am prospecting, I want an 8th in areas of Kasarani or such like neighborhoods to build a rental flat in the next 3 years. How much do the high traffic areas go for? and would you advice me to go for this area or are there other lucrative areas? (I had been adviced on Kinoo , Gachie... but I fear those areas)

@winmak last I checked, from Sunton, Clayworks, Seasons going to main centre at Kasarani you will need KES 8,500,000 for a plain 1/8 acre. Mwiki headed down to Kangundo road budget for KES 3,500,000 to KES 6,000,000

Kitengela there is no land for sale from 1st to 3rd row all the way upto Yukos. Fourth row is available at KES 5,500,000, but being a victim of an intricate land fraud in the county dating back to 2009, I will not lead anyone to invest in the area. Im still in court!

These prices are equivalent to the price of land in Germany, where you have all the roads tarmacked, electricity and water on site. Something is wrong in kenya.

Roysambu:

40x80 - 14m
Construction 6x1bdrm x 6 floors = 36 units
Construction cost = 40m
Total = 54m

Income per month = @22k x 36 units = 792k

ROI 17.6%
