Road yet to be tarmarced. @Bachuma are you aware of plans to tarmack Rongai-Kitengela road in the near future? If its tarmacked plots along that road will be prime.

Has anyone put up such structures in the counties and realized some good return from their investment? I have plot in Kitengela, near a commercial flower farm and some neighbors constructed mabati structures to house people who work in flower farm. Neighbours who have put residential houses complained to the county government. So, recently the county government has marked those mabati structures for demolition. Not worth putting them - your neighbors will complain and the county government, thirsty for revenue will demolish them. On what grounds/law does the county Govt demolish mabati houses?

This works well in Nai though I don't know whether it exists in Eld. They will charge you a management fee of say 10% then they will pay you your share on an agreed date whether they have managed to collect or not as long us the house is occupied.

Washiku - thanks. I was in the process of doing the research on the possibility of acquiring such services but for now, I want to first of all establish that they wouldn't be demolished after I've incurred costs to put them up.

Guyz while you are at this Mabati houses business,someone is giving me the idea leasing land in some of these slum like areas like Uthiru,Kangemi,Kawangware and putting up those single structures.Urguably the monthly rent payable to the land owner goes for like 50k p.m. for a 1/8 of an acre.So you lease for like 10 years.Do the structure and wait for the watejas.Am told that nowadays most of the structures coming up in these areas are done in such a manner since wenyeji hawauzi mashamba.Can someone tells us the possible pitfalls for such a venture.I can imagine considering the minimal cost of this investment you would be better off doing multiple units of such instead of the 5 storied stuctures anywhere in this Nairobi.

Major pitfall - The non paying watejas . Keep in mind after the lease ,you leave the structures as is . "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" - Stephen Wright
