Yes. You can use Ksh 1m to put up 50 mabati single rooms on 1/8th acre, which you can charge 2k per room to make 100k per month making a ROI of 120%. Compare that with apartments in kileleshwa that have a ROI of 6%.

How do I go about getting the property because if I am lucky to own the plot for 10 years,I will have made handsome returns and the good thing is that the houses are always occupied!!!!!

Most dont have titles but are local arrangements with the chief, citycouncil or local kamjesh

for a start identify the area then approach the above

I read such a story in one of the newspapers. However, there was an inferred caveat. You have to live there and look and act like a kawa slum dweller. At least that's what one of the slumlords seemed to be saying. His returns were really great.

I thought we are looking for ways to reduce slums instead of increasing them.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
