  HOW TO BUY GENUINE LAND IN KENYA — BY JAMES PLOTI A Practical, No‑Nonsense Guide for Every Smart Investor Buying land in Kenya is one of the most empowering decisions you can make — but only if you do it right.

 JAMES PLOTI VIEWS ON REAL ESTATE  My years in real estate have shown me a vital truth that holds especially for diaspora and foreign investors:  information, or the lack of it, can either unlock incredible wealth or trap you forever in poverty . When investing in real estate from abroad, having accurate, timely, and relevant information is nothing short of essential. Without it, investors risk missed opportunities, poor decisions, and financial loss.  For diaspora and foreign investors, Kenya and many emerging markets represent exciting potential—growing economies, expanding infrastructure, and increasing demand for land and property. However, the challenge lies in navigating these markets from afar, where firsthand insight may be limited, and misinformation or market rumors often abound. This makes reliable information and trusted local knowledge a priceless asset. Understanding local property laws, land ownership documentation, market demand, pricing trends, and c...

Let’s expose the damn truth: BRUTAL THREAD: 1️⃣ He Walks Into Town Every Morning, Clean And Polished. Holding a hot cappuccino from an overpriced coffee shop, smiling like he’s made it. But deep down? He’s one bad month away from collapse. 2️⃣ Behind That Suit: 🧾 He’s living paycheck to paycheck. 🏠 Renting a bedsitter or one-bedroom in Nairobi. No land, no title deed, no fallback plan. 💰 No emergency fund, no life insurance, no medical cover. 😔 No investments, no side hustle. 🕳 Just debts, silent pressure, and fake confidence. 3️⃣ Modern Poverty In Nairobi Is Polished, Presentable, And Privately Panicking.
