If you wanted to live in (say) a Kile apartment, you can buy it for 10m (take a 15-year mortgage @ 11% paying 113k) or you can just rent it for half the cost.
We all know how these apartments will look like in another 15 years. A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work

Have you factored how much they will cost in 15 years despite their looks?
Do you know how much you will have paid in rent for 15 years? half the mortgage... so who is fooling who? I Think Therefore I Am

bwenyeye most likely no one will want to look at them let alone buy. If you have 1 unit surrounded by 5 others in a bad state how will you convince someone to buy remember you not owning the whole land just a ka-unit up in the sky!!! and FYI prices are starting to go down http://www.businessdaily...4/-/12wwvs5/-/index.html

Also factor how much it will cost to upgrade your apartment (if possible) to match emerging styles and trends in housing.

Making it Green compliant I presume. '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3

With Kenya now expected to grow in every direction, there is no point of paying exorbitant prices. I would rather buy a plot and construct a house... "..one is only poor only if they choose to be.."-Dolly Partron

@Mblue, problem is not the construction cost but the cost of the land!!
