Good to invest but not for inheritance. Your dreams are not necessarily your children's dream. Ask some of us!!!

@Mugundaman, Angelica_ann has a very valid point, tho I suspect you did not get it all. I hope your children are already old enough
for you to know their dreams and that they will not run through their inheritance in no time; then scrap for rent and school fees

2 things; one school fees is not inheritance and the other is the word i used is not necessarily. I can assure you that not all your kids will treat your investment the same way you are doing it now and you would expect them to do then .... 30 years to come. In anycase investment horizon changes and your type of investment now might not be as relevant then as they are now. They will sell the apartments & put the money into better use.

Not even your kids will be cut from the same cloth. Know that now, it will help you in the future in molding them as they are.

Angelica,
Clearly you might never have heard of the Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his kids
Mtoto umelavyo ndiyo akuavyo. If one teaches kids that maisha is pata potea, not to jipanga and finances and horizons change then why act surprised when they grow up to sell apartments to buy designer handbags, worthless trinkets and luxury cars as "better" investments :). In 99% of these cases either the parent has zero financial acumen or was so busy using their acumen that they forgot to impart it in practice with their children. Since when since the beginning of time did real estate - owning vs renting - "go out of fashion"? Wake me up when that happens.

Angelica,

I am glad my comments amuse you . To answer your question yes, my siblings and I were raised by the same parents who taught us several things
1. They emphasised education, planning, working hard and avoiding bad company
2. They taught us not to be wakora slashing people with pangas and ending up in Kamiti
3. They taught us that even after education, life and learning is just beginning

and so much more. That was their focus

As a result of this
1. All the siblings got educated to uni
2. None of the siblings are wakora in kamiti

Why is it so hard for you to admit that mtoto umleavyo ndiye akuavyo?

If you teach your kids to be financially literate from the cradle. To earn their keep. To save. To be risk takers. How to invest from a very young age and so on. And you drum it in them daily, how on earth will they all of a sudden grow up to be financial illiterates who do not value owning property, investing or starting a business? In fact they will have more acumen than some of us as it has been drummed in them from the jump.

Does this mean they will all become business-people or real estate will be their profession without exception? Of course not. But, at the minimum, regardless of what field they join, they will be financially literate, which means they will not be scratching their heads in amazement and wonder, not knowing what to do, when daddy gives them a small boost by leaving them a maisonette or apartment with which to start and build their future life upon once they finish uni :)

Obiero toa maoni. I am thinking of incorporating these design elements into future projects.

I do. Check out what 60 years of 7-6-2 abstract thinking and dazzling genius gave us

Remember QW? Naona kama amefufuka. The prose and temperament are eerily similar.

@mugundaman, yesterday I came across a KTN news feature Area Code Syokimau. I thought the place was better than your dustbowl until I saw the mess there-folks are building commercial buildings next to bungalows, no sewer so the effluent is just being pumped out, no roads. The former mayor of mavoko is the current MP says the devolved govt is just plain stupidity they can't even control development. Look for the youtube and post it here
