Hi Wazua community! After a successful completion of this project (linked) Penny is off to yet another. This time, targeting the "middle class" in Kisumu with 2 bedroom/ 1bath units. 3 storey /3 units per floor totaling 9 units in all.Budget is KSh.10m/US$100K. My plans are stuck with NEMA as I type this...mambo za Kenya yetu. As always, I hope to provide frequent updates, sharing both success and challenges! Bank otuch! Regards, Penny! Here are shots from last project!    “None but ourselves can free our minds.”

Commendable increase in budget X2 from the last project; should take shorter to construct based on experience. Also smart satellite development instead of crowding Nbi.
What is the current rental yield per annum for project one?

Congrats @Pennystocker your experiences documented on your previous project thread which I review very regularly convinced me to finally get my feet wet and invest in a 6 family three bedroom & two bath project on two storey's on a quarter of an acre in Busia. Already submitted the plans for approval but have had to undertake change of user from Agricultural land, once this is done I'm heading to NEMA & NCA. Hoping to break ground before the short rains inshalla.

@Penny-Stocker  Good job bro. I also have a plan to do rentals at some point (Cash only. No mortgage!) and you will definitely be one of the people I will be talking to before embarking on the project. Nothing beats hands on experience! And there is no better advice than from someone with no vested interests. All the best in your next project. I am sure this one will be much smoother - with all the acquired experience! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Cheers No experience at all. Thought about putting some around a college campus but can't seem to justify the high cost of land around these institutions.“None but ourselves can free our minds.”

Was immensely encouraged by @pennystocker's previous project to finally take the plunge this year with a two storey 6 unit apartment block (3 bedroom, 2 Bath) on part of half an acre in one of the county headquarters in western kenya. Plan approval at the county just completed after an inordinately long wait, now on to NEMA then NCA. Hoping to break ground in early January. Meanwhile been keeping myself busy: fenced,built a pit latrine, put in a water & three phase electricity connection, built a tank base and installed a 10k litre tank, built a septic tank, soak pit and store..... Currently manufacturing cement blocks on site and tending to the landscape in areas not being affected by building works and planning to sink a shallow well to supplement the irregular kanjo supply to the 10,000 litre tank which will be of immense benefit when construction commences. Having done the math, these days I just shake my head when I see people forking out 10's of millions for a single not particularly well done unit.
