Basically function/intent should be the driving force in the investment choice. Good. Lets say it serves as purely and investment vehicle where you acquire for capital gains or income. If you're buying to sell,who are you selling to and what's driving them to buy? If its for income, what are your strategies for dealing with competition?


Ditto. The WHY comes before the WHAT which determines the WHERE. This not only in Real estate but in all aspects of life.

I totally agree. Population is the main factor most people justify their investment in real estate with. For most of the developed world,the population levels are declining.Although E.A,esp,Kenya has one of the highest rates of population growth. This to me will change simply because people are getting married late and having fewer children. Two youth unemployment/underemployment also reinforces the previous point making it even bigger.Thirdly,I think unlike previous generations,the value of marriage and family life has shifted.



yep....from our generation, guys are delaying marriage to mid thirties. Two kids at most (surprisingly girls ).

only dudes from rural are popping kids like there's no tomorrow,and this are the guys with no money.

I saw someone suggesting that you can build 50 rental units for 50m. [ie 1m for each appartment] Thats misleading...go to Rwaka or Kasarani and ask for prices of land

the highest returns on real estate are found within hotel setups. Hotels are very dependent on location. The best way is to get the best location near a major rad then put up a hotel. You can rent out the hotel to someone or run it yourself.
With 50m, the best is to buy a 0.5 acre for 20m near JKIA,Msa rd, Athiriver, mlolongo e.t.c then build a 25 room 1000m2 hotel for 30m. This will give you 25 x2000 x 30 =1.5m per month. This will pay back in 3 years.

If you take into account 50-70% occupany rates and 30% expenses then the net return is at best between 500k to 750k a month...though still an excellent payback between 6-8 years!

profit from food and beverages cancel out on the operational costs. With a 20m location, you can be able to get a frontline location where rates can be more than 2k per night or 2k with a near 100% occupancy.
