@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

I have been advised on Cytonn CMS. They are offering 18% returns which seems a bit high. Pyramid scheme much?

There is a thread here in Wazua about cytonn.Its been discussed fully.Check it.
Growing wealth is a long term process.It doesnt happen overnight.Investment is only a part of growing it as you can see my signature.You need to approach investment with a long term view.In my first contribution to your query,i told you to consider two investments options i.e 1.Shares 2.Treasury bond.
My reasons for those reccomendations were as follows:
1.Shares are profitable in the long run and they beat inflation rate hence giving you value for your money.
2.Holding a profitable company shares is a realistic gain in investment.You will get 4% dividend yield from the business performance that year.Where do cyton get the 18% they are promising you?
3.Treasury bond will give you interest of between 7- 14 percent depending on the market.Thats money from the govt set aside for borrowing which as you know are our taxes.Where do cytonn get theirs?
4.True wealth is when your money are working for you and you are doing nothing but picking only gains.Shares and T.bond provide that.Anything else that keeps you working for money is not an investment instrument.You will never attain financial independence.
There are many other reasons.Though i dont claim to be an expert.I dont claim that im wealthy either.Im still in the learning process and will always learn as i strive to be the wealthiest in the world.
So,take your time and learn slowly.Pick one investment vehicle and start from their.

You're welcome  G.

We're getting some perspective now.

Quick bracket :Ebenyo is right, you should know that Cyton CMS is hyped and very opaque. Saw their presentation awhile back and they're downplaying the poor liquidity of their offer plus it's not clear at all what exactly they'll invest in. Beware.

Instead we now know that your case  requires
(1) little involvement, things to be clear up front because no time to play Sherlock Holmes ,
(2)moderate safety & high liquidity because you don't want storo when you ask for your cash back ,
yet (3)enough muscle to nearly double your capital in 5years.

That's why I suggest the following simple thing:

Start by placing your capital at a trusted and regulated firm where you can get 12 to 14% pa return that you can then compound (emphasis on compound) for 5yrs. That will get you near your goals.

Remember the path to such goals is plagued with derailments usually disguised as "better quicker returns". You'll need to stay the course as you build your confidence.

Send me your email/whatsapp I forward you details.

Buy Housing Finance at below 19 with one million and a plot with the other million. Sit back and wait for annual dividends. In 4 years, you will have exceeded your targets.
