@ Seles.. If you fear stocks then you are better off first getting what you can with the 7M. Don't think about leverage due to the limitations of mortgage and so go for strategy 1.


Ditto. All cash, book with 10 or 20 %, invest balance in MM and construction goes on. Once completed, pay and sell with capital gains, then flip. You will make more money than just renting for 13-25k in both options of Strategy I. Renting out is also ok for passive income but think about time to recoup your principal.

I would say strategy 1 for I am allergic to leverages and its conditions.

@Sarrouniya

Is there a better strategy? rather than above that does involve buying land and constructing myself..

And Yes some fortunate people are able to access those crazy lending facilities..


just buy a good plot where you can build rental flats, there are good reputable companies which can do a good job for you if not there though for a cost

Thanks Kamundu...how would you go about it given ..7m with a target of creating >42k passive income.


My friend please avoid all the hustle and bustle of the rental market.. Its a waste of time and You will get a stroke for no reason..

Simply buy 275,000KCB shares or 17,500BAT shares..

On KCB you will earn 43k per month based on 2011 dividend and 60k per month based on 2012 dividend..

On BAT you will earn 44k per month based on 2011 dividend and 55k per month based on 2012 dividend..

Both returns are better than what you will ever find in the rental space!
There is no reason to get burnt in stocks especially if you treat them like rental units!

Thanks guys for the advice, i am not incline so much to go back to stock trading..made my millions and lost millions there...we had a bad breakup during GFC..

I like more the hybrid idea..Deposit,Money Market and Flip...
The Flipping bit is the part i am nervous about..whats is current house sale clearance rate?

Thanks guys for the good ideas and out the box thinking..

How about Suraya as a company? Are they reliable and do you do a good job in final interior finishes..
More monies, more problems...

You should have bought the FXD 1/2012/10 in July at 14% yield or consolidated bond at 13.25%. In the first case you get 1,050,000 per annum before taxes which works out to 87,500 for the next 5 years. The money is religously paid into your account by CBK every 6 months. in 2-3 years time you have about 3m to buy a plot and start constructing slowly. In 10 years you have you 7.5m intact and you block of flats. You haven't risked much have you!

sorry 87,500 gross income per month for the next 12 years. You could still be reinvesting your coupons as well which would give you additional cashflows to buy the land and shares. When you do come back you can sell the shares and build you flats. Remember the only price you need to lock is that of land. Building materials have a more transparent market compared to land and prices don't rise without a plan.
