@Swenani - Haki be serious for once!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Welcome to wazua! we hope you will stick around for good.You say you have 2 m initial capital and then 300 k monthly disposable income.
Invest the 2 m in the treasury bond.At an average of 14% return paid semi annualy,that will give you about 280 k before tax per annum.That will translate to about 20 k per month returns only.
With the 300 k monthly disposable income,invest in shares at nairobi securities exchange.Start with some companies which are valuable.Buy kcb which is currently trades at 35 bob which is a discount.Buy safaricom,Kengen and Equity.At the end of next year you will have shares worth 3.6 m with dividends of about 100 k.Do this for ten years and afterwards retire and let your money works for you.You will leave comfortably on dividends and interest from t bond.

Very misleading on tbill rates. Right now the rates are at around 7-8%.

@mawinder,ofcourse i understand the rate flactuates depending with the market.I gave the highest for encouragement purpose.Are u a scaremonger? Infact i said t bond not t bill.He wont be disapointed with a 30 yr t bond.T bills pay less because its short term.Check the current 30 year t bond and report back immediately.

Hi,

I totally understand your situation since I can relate to it.

The previous suggestions are good and can be rewarding, but are they right for you?

I have a more robust set of suggestions, but in order to be more helpful to you I would require to know a little more on

(a) your capital growth targets (key determinant in the paths you choose)

(b) your investment vehicle (personal, incorporated etc)

(c) your time line (are you in for short/long term)

Planning and researching are key ingredients of course but action beats inaction hands down.

Okay, under (a) what's meant is: "approx how much capital do you realistically wish to have at the end of your investment effort?" is it x1.5, twice or thrice your current capital...

As a rule a higher return target means putting up with higher risk (vise versa). Nothing is cast on stone really but this helps big time in focusing, deciding and reviewing
