Watch this space. just wondering how profitable these projects are. according to Business daily ''Last year, KBS completed constructing 162 units in Komarock Phase 5A, which generated Sh200 million profit for the company. About 162 houses retailed for a minimum of Sh6.8 million at the start of the construction in 2012'' does this mean each house generates just about sh 1million or about 700K after tax? that return would be just about 15% I did some few houses in Nakuru and each 2 bedroom house costed me sh 2M. each has a market value of sh 4M.Very good finishing (renting at sh 22k) i wonder if HFCK can generate that kind of returns on these houses, because if their costs are not too high per house, then this is share that will go places Their achilles heel is their source of funds. They are using expensive credit to finance projects that have returns in the future. The spreads are minimum. Not to mention the regulatory environment doesn't exactly favour them, not with every other bank peddling mortgages. The management is still stuck in stone age, yet to wake up to reality.

I must confess that i get abit confused with HF . in my view constructing and selling houses is a very luctrative business especially for people with the experience and who do it in large scale
so my view is that they should be making big margins on the houses they build and sell
but their profits do not seem to reflect that view that i hold . Atleast for 2014 performance
If HF sells a house for say 7M, should their construction costs for such a house really be more than sh 4m all costs included? in which case they should make a huge profit

That's a measly 5.3% As for me: Allotted rights: Got 100%Additional Application: Got 42.2% The allocation policy favoured those who had a higher number of shares on book closure. So the buy 100 shares then apply for many rights didnt work on this one  The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

This will be done through the setting up of a holding company that will oversee the project.
Ireri disclosed this during the bell ringing to open the trading of 166,666,667 additional ordinary shares at the Nairobi Securities Exchange in which the mortgage lender successfully raised Sh3.5 billion in a Rights Issue that was oversubscribed by 257 per cent.

Shady broker. Mine e-mailed me on Wednesday to ask why I haven't picked it up... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
