Hi Penny-Stocker. This is a great achievement. Well done. As for the project I was doing, I had a slightly similar experience. I spent an extra 0.6M, due to a change in finishes. But my project is competed too and fully occupied (by yours truly). Most important I was able to avoid the bank, which many Wazuans advised me against. I am now getting ready to start another one.

@Wakanyugi... Congrats to you as well bro. Takes a lot of patience, perseverance, and dedication - well done! Would you mind sharing with me the pics...same email! Im hoping to start another project later this year as well - 6 unit of 2bed/1bath. And as always, will share the progress with y'all! “None but ourselves can free our minds.”

I have a concern here for all those who have been following this thread. As stipulated above, the entire development is 280m2. this means that every unit, since they are 4, measures 70m2! converted this equals 752 square feet for a 3 bedroom!!!!!!! This is quite small i should say, standard 3 bedrooms usually range from 110m2 and above!! To get a clear picture of these dimensions as provided above, it then means that a single 3-bedroom unit measures approximately 10 meters X 7 meters!!! This is such a small area to fit a kitchen, washroom, lounge, 2 bedrooms and master bed! To make it clearer, i live in a 1-bedroom flat in Roysambu measuring 64m2!! it is not logical for my 1-bedroom to be almost equal in size with a 3-bedroom. Kindly clarify on that please! Enjoy every moment of your life, you never know when your time will come.

congratulations on your project. it is quite impressive that you have spent 7.5m to ge a return of 100k monthly ( before taxes). in nairobi to get that kind of return would require an investment of like 18m plus.

Here's the plan! Do the math! my claculations using archicad actually reveal that each unit is approximately 61 sm. someone else can confirm or deny. this imo is too small for a 3 bedroom
