Take an example of taking a 9M mortgage where you pay 110K pm for 15 yrs(11.75 interest p.a) to own a 3BR in Kitengela. Some1 else will chose to buy a plot in Kitale and put up 6 rental units and make 60K pm, and chose to pay 25K rent p.m in Nai. I agree the people may not be too many, but the point is parking a serious car in a rented house is not always a stupid act. And i know someone who can afford to buy a house but chooses to invest the money in trucking business and gets a handsome return at the end of every month, he thinks paying 100k a month for 15 years to own a house is stupid. He has however grown his business and says the day he chooses to build a house, he will do it in a flash, in the meantime, he rents a house hapo Doni near the parking lot for his trucks...

For 9m I get 30acres in Ushago where I practice agriculture instead of buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Hurlingham.Let me continue renting and parking a car in a rented house, after all I dont intend to live in Nairobi all my life.

I guess we all have valid points depending on one's priorities and finances. As for me I always consider sustainability above everything else; I do not borrow to support lifestyle "You've never lived until you've almost died; for those who have fought for it, life has a flavour the protected will never know."

I know a loan shark (note that he is not a friend of mine  ) who tells me many guys in their 50s approach him to lend money against their expensive family mansions in Runda because they don't have investment income after paying mortgages all their lives until retirement.

However, once I am financially stable, have my own business, have kidogo investments, and live in my own house, i will let my investments buy me my luxuries. A german car may come that time. Right now I spend 500k max on a used car.
Too many of my young colleagues are living beyond their means. I find serious german cars parked outside rented flats. Drivers of this cars go to such places to pay rent, they do not live there, lol.. Or maybe to collect RENT.
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

After nyama choma and the dere has cleared with mama pima I still recall one that had the statement 'There is always room for one more in my matatu' boldly written on the backdoor.

You understand why i will opt for a German car any day?? of course comparing oranges to oranges not VW polo to Toyota VX as McDoba said..
