[quote=jaggernaut][quote=obiero][quote=Am][quote=obiero]After much research and analysis, I have noted that a bedsitter four floored flat rather than three bedroom apartments on similar floor number is more cost effective. The basis of logic lies in the fact that more units in the same floor space provides more income.. Indeed rent collection may be more challenging on the bedsitters, but as the saying goes; high risk, high return[/quote]

True. Of course the area/location is a factor also but ovearall, bedsitters - one bedrooms - 2 bedrooms in that order are better in returns. Wanted to put up some bedsitters somewhere in east lands but the local Kanjora is against it in the area claiming young people expected to rent such are a problem for the locals. Have given in and opted for 1 bed room on 1st and 2nd floors, and may do different plan on upper floors later..[/quote]

I remember you complaining that NHC wants to put up 1brm flats in your estate since this would devalue Nyayo estate and bring in undesirable characters....and would also "spoil your image since people may think you live in the 1brm and not the 3bdrm". The Kanjora was right too in this case in protecting his neighbourhood (his voters) from degradation... [/quote]
Talk of things coming full circle :-d

@AM. Thanks for clearing out the matter on my behalf. @jagger Nyayo Estate is a middle class neighborhood and one bedrooms go against the investment calibre of that locality. However, bedsitters in Rongai are a perfect fit!!! Usijichanganye kaka

Refers to a bedsitter but upscale in terms of square metres space as well as finishing

Could have posted the plan. But hard posting photos in wazua. [/quote]

I have noticed this is a common problem for Wazuans. I'll explain briefly how to post a photo here -- the easiest way i know. Hopefully, some of us will learn a thing or 2.

1. Open an account with imgur.com -- a photo sharing web app.

2. Login and upload your picture

3. After the upload, you should have these alternatives as shown on this picture. Copy the encircled link and paste it here



4. Good to go & repeat

I hope this helped someone! Cheers!
