If i had 21m i would not tie it for 120k monthly return,i have better ways to make atleast 500k with 21m monthly.

True. Some interesting math here, a 91 day t-bill @14.8% does pay more than 120k per month at the moment... Why hussle to buy the flat? At 21M with the current rental yield would take more than a decade to breakeven...

Even at 7% return from a Money Market Fund yields a better monthly return - not forgetting there are no operational costs!

Assuming a 75% occupancy rate,the return is a paltry 5% before the operational costs. It would take ages to recover the initial investment even after considering value of property appreciating.

The current Infrastructure bond offer would also yield much higher returns and an attractive redemption schedule....20M would give a discount of Kes 3.3mn and coupon of 200k every month....how much will that have earned you in four years?...net interest income of 9.6 mioDrool

@wanyuru - yes the infra bond has attractive returns. But I have a phobia of trusting the current central planners with my money for more than a year...

The bond is being sold at a discounted price of 83.353 for every 100....do the math.

Interest income: 12% of 20mn per year=2.4mn thats 200k per month, right?

read my post again...i said 9.6mio in four yearssmile

Does this also mean that it doesn't make any economic sense to buy a house in Runda or Karen at Ksh 45 million (as they are currently being sold) and rent out the property at 250k a month (current rent)?

@ Jaggernaut,

It all depends of many factors. If you borrow the 45M and invested in such a property to rent, the cost of money ( read interest) would be higher that the returns, of course excluding future value appreciation. Such properties are ideal to buy and live in them as part of self-actualization!
