And this is why I reiterate that RE is the path of least resistance to dollar millionairedom in Kiinya today. Hakuna msukosuko mob! You just invest and develop pole pole and the rest is history. Which RE dollar millionaire of do you know of who had to try ten times and failed ten times before they succeeded at what they did. Hata the Optiven guy was conned only once in the beginning - something he could have avoided with proper due diligence - and the rest was history for him..and even his case of being conned on the first deal is a huge anomaly especially in this age of digitisation of land records.

The badness of tech is that the internet has made it a global game and that gives the advantage to well funded companies from US and Europe. There are very few opportunities for localized tech for Kenya, but in those few areas we are having billionaires being created. For example payments, betting, Skiza Tunes etc

Well, you can easily turn this disadvantage to an advantage e.g by offering your services to global companies and thus charging a global rate. As an example all tech guys worth their salt can now easily earn over 500k per month on the lower end by working remotely for global tech companies and I know dozens are already doing so in Kenya and this is just the start. There are tons of opportunities for doing tech, export and outsourcing in this global stage as well.

Another way it can be an advantage is you that you can now tap tech tools and services developed by the best minds in the world and deploy them in your local business and easily beat your competion. Some of these tools are free or very cheap. E.g facebook ads, google office suite, whatsapp for business e.t.c. You can even build a new business from scratch using some of these tools.

Bottomline, Kenya is a poor country with a lot of mediocrity everywhere and there is nothing better than getting access to richer clients who value genuine quality services and products.
