REAL ESTATE IN KENYA

-

REAL ESTATE IS A SURE SECURITY FOR YOUR GENERATIONS 

Real estate investment is one of the best ways to earn money in Kenya. It’s a long-term investment and can be used as collateral for loans. It also helps you build wealth over time by increasing your assets and reducing debt obligations. Many benefits come with investing in real estate, including low risk and high returns! It’s a good investment for the long, short, and medium terms.


Real estate is a great way to build your wealth over time by purchasing properties that are in high demand with low supply. 

You can also get income from rental properties if you rent them out and make sure that these are also in high demand with low supply.

The best thing about investing in real estate is that it allows you to diversify your portfolio without having too much equity exposure at any given point of time because there may be fluctuations or declines in prices due to external factors such as interest rates changing overnight or political instability, and other factors which could affect everyone’s investments differently depending on how much risk they want to take on board when investing within Africa itself or globally across all continents but especially Africa due to its diversity; this means if someone wants more safety then they should invest outside Africa while those who want higher riskier returns should consider investing in Africa.



How an Investment Works

An investment is any item that is purchased with the anticipation that it will generate income or appreciate in value in the future.

The investment is deemed profitable if it exceeds its initial costs. There are various items, or assets, that can be purchased as investments.


They include equities, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate. All these asset classes have their individual characteristics and risk factors that make them preferable to certain type of investors over others.


When you invest in real estate, you’re purchasing physical property such as houses, apartments or office buildings and leasing the property to tenants.

The main goal is to generate income through rents and lease fees while also building equity over time. You can sell the property at any time if you want to receive a lump sum payment and end your ownership stake in the property.

Besides providing a place for tenants to live, commercial real estate also encompasses warehouses and production facilities, medical offices and shopping centers.

Commercial real estate investing is usually done through limited partnerships or corporations that own properties and collect rent from tenants.

The sponsors of these opportunities generally have years of experience in operating similar properties and typically take care of finding those tenants, collecting rent payments and maintaining the properties.

Types of Investments

Real estate investment is the more common form of investment compared to equites, bonds, and mutual funds. This is due to the accessibility of the real estate market compared to the stock market.

As an investment, real estate offers individuals the opportunity to purchase a property and benefit from its appreciation over time.

This straightforward nature of real estate investment makes it more preferable to other forms of investment. Other than purchasing property, real estate investment also offers clients the ability to lease property and use the property to generate returns over time.



How to invest in real estate with no money

There are several ways of investing in real estate for individuals with limited finances. One can access credit facilities such as mortgage houses in Kenya and bank loans that are tailored for real estate investment.

Using these credit facilities, an individual can own a real estate property that will appreciate in value and this will aid him in repaying the credit facility. Leasing is another way of investing in real estate with limited financing.

Through leasing, one is able to acquire exclusive rights to a property at a fraction of the cost. Leasing agreements are often renewed annually and they give the leasee the ability to put the property to use during the agreed-upon period and for an agreed-upon price. 

What Is Direct vs. Indirect Real Estate Investing?

Purchasing and leasing can be categorized as direct ways of investing in real estate. In a direct real estate investment, investors own the property directly and have control over the day-to-day management.

The second type of real estate investment is indirect investing your money to buy shares in a professionally managed fund at the disposal of clients.

These include avenues such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) which are pooled vehicles that enable individuals to purchase shares in companies that will invest in real estate properties.

This form of indirect real estate investment enables one to access returns of real estate without having the exposure inherent in owning and operating real estate investments.

In the current market, there are many options that investors can exploit to earn a profit or increase their wealth.

Investing in real estate is a great way to make money. Real estate is a long-term investment and gives you time to enjoy the benefits of your investment without having to worry about day-to-day tasks or expenses.

Real estate can also be an excellent way for people who want to invest their money slowly, but still, earn a profit over time. If you have enough money saved up, then investing in real estate might be something that interests you!

As you can see, there are many options available to investors. The key is to be aware of the market you want to invest in, do your homework, and then choose the option that suits your needs best.

Real estate is a great investment option if you are looking to build wealth over time.

  My desire to succeed in life was inspired mostly by my upbringing. We were born in a peasant family in the slopes of Mount Kenya, a county known as Kirinyaga. Our family was poor, but I salute my Dad Mr. Jeremiah and my late Mum Mama Alice Jeremiah, may she rest in peace. Irrespective of the hardships of bringing three children without a formal job, they were reputed small scale farmers. They used to sell horticultural seedlings to earn a daily bread.  Many are the days we slept hungry when the seedlings couldn’t move. But, that never made us give up, instead it was a stepping stone to my strong faith and desire to succeed. During my younger years, my dad used to take me to Sacco meetings and cooperative forums where he would enroll for saving schemes and buying shares. The small sacrifices he made back then was part of what supported him take us to higher education. Success in life is coupled with a lot of sacrificing. Its not an overnight thing, its not magic, IT’S A JOURN...

Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future

  It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future You’re down, you’re tired, you’re hurting, you’ve somehow lost your way. You’ve given someone’s negative opinion of you far too much credit. You’ve let a failed relationship make you fearful of connecting again. You’ve allowed someone’s poor treatment of you to shift the way you see yourself. YOU HAVE TO STOP...... I know you’ve been through some sh*t. We all have. We all have our share of brokenness, discouragement, emptiness, and defeat. We’ve all lost people.  We’ve all been cheated on or left by someone we loved. We’ve all floundered in our faith or slipped somewhere on the path. We’ve all fought demons, illness, mental issues, and pain. We’ve all been let down, had enemies, or made enemies of ourselves. We’ve all had days when we question whether we have the strength to continue. This is not meant to take your problems and shove them to the side, make light of them, or diminish them in comparison to anyone else...
