🇰🇪 Get in touch with Pratik, my favourite real estate agent in Nairobi: thewanderinginvestor.com/services/international-real-estate-services/my-real-estate-agent-in-nairobi-kenya/ 🇰🇪 Full analysis of the Nairobi real estate market and investor guide: thewanderinginvestor.com/international-real-estate/nairobi-real-estate-market-investor-guide/
Be careful Kenyans, watch how much he puts emphasis on: "LOOK AT WHAT THE CHINESE ARE DOING", Hes making it seem like Kenyans would not be progressing if it wasn't for others, i.e. Chinese......
The interview with the first tenant was awesome. He was very open and content about his living situation. It was quite telling when he was asked if he didn't have trouble with the traffic situation and the long commute, and he said he doesn't even consider it. All that matters to him is the safety and security of his wife and two kids at home. That's a good one, guys.
Still a ton of ignorance from his end. Ati (1:13) ... there's peanut butter made in Kenya, the milk, even the weetabix. Tells you a lot about his past assumptions of Kenya and Africa. I also can't stand the accolades he's showering on the Chinese. Yes, Chinese are doing some developments in the country at the moment but what about the Kenya between 1963 and 2003. Was it built by the Chinese? Nah. Was it built by Americans? Nope. Was it built by Russia? No. Was it built by Kenyans? Hell Yes! We need to educate foreigners about Africa's past because many of them wrongly assume that Africa was built or is being built by foreigners. Even centuries ago Africa was a developed land. Has anybody read about ancient Zimbabwe, Timbuktu, Mombasa and many other places? Even the Holy Bible itself says there was a eunuch that was baptized by the Apostle Phillip. That eunuch was an African. He was an important official in the govt. of the queen in charge of the treasury. He travelled to the holy land, was riding a chariot and get this: READING SCRIPTURE. Wait a minute, how the heck did he learn how to read? Was he educated in America? Nope. Was he educated in Europe? No. Well then they must have had some sort of school or learning places in Africa. Also wait, the man was a finance minister in the government of the queen? Well then there must have been kingdoms and kings and queens and learning institutions in Africa. In that case they must have had some buildings and laws and forms of govt. The mere fact that the man was was reading scripture and got baptized tells you that they must have had the gospel back then. Now, wait a minute; so the gospel was not brought to Africa by white people. OH MY GOSH. What are the missionaries doing? talking about bringing the gospel to Africa. Do these people know that the gospel was already in Africa even before America became a nation? MY POINT IS: most foregners are ignorant about the industrious nature of Africans. Sasa mtu aki assume ati peanut butter haiko Kenya, ati hata maziwa. Surely kwani juzi ndio tumeanza kuwa na ng'ombe? Na nyinyi wakenya. JIHESHIMUNI jameni, Sio kuambia mtu ati ana make positive videos kutuhusu.
Wow I'm in Construction in Kenya and very impressed on how this guy does his research. Goes to the ground to see whether reality and what is being marketed is true. Very few people are that thorough even in Kenya. I'm impressed
Does working abroad for sometime mean you lose touch with your home and can't read local news, if you can comment here, you have internet, maybe family back at home and loads of info if you really want it! Don't show your ignorance here!
I’m from Africa but haven’t been to Kenya. Currently based in Canada where I have some Kenyan friends but still love the motherland. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I started watching one of your video today and can’t stop at all. You are covering things that most people will say “ I wish I knew “ thank you. I always wondered the opportunity in Africa as whole and Kenya in particular.
Thanks for this video! I was planning to go in Kenya in November for a month, to check the opportunies and the life there. Economic growth in East Africa is crazy!
What I like about your review and analysis is that its impartial, you have no vested interest in the properties and you are drawing accurate comparison from an established market in Europe and USA. Great piece.
Insecurity is not a big issue as you emphasized in Kenya and as a person living in Kenya I must correct you on that point. Kenya is quite a safe country, although some places are more secure than others as is everywhere in the world.
It is a big issue if you are talking about the burglaries, robberies, etc. That's very common and worries everyone. It has gone down a little due to curfew but that's temporary. You see it in the common feature of private security guards, private security with alarm system at most compounds, high concrete walls, windows and external doors with steel grills, etc. That's what's being addressed by having a gated community with all services within easy reach. He is not referring to the insecurity of the terroristic kind.
@@BizSasa We consider walking across Nairobi downtown in bikini, not as a case of insecurity, but a case of immorality. We clamp down on such immoral behaviours unapologetically. And we do so without waiting for security agencies to act.
Your video is of great help to many people. Kenyans spend lots of money renting and they cope with it year in year out. Just another better way to go. Owning it! Thanks alot.
He seems ok but why not. I guess he's also doing it because he wants something out of it. He is thinking about making good money investing in property in Kenya. He's looking for the positive in it because he is going to invest. It makes sense.
Watching from south Africa and I was just passing by and saw your channel. To being with I appreciate your positivity about kenya and Africa at large,for so many years Africa has been the hub of only negative attitude but you are changing it by your vlog, its not that there are no bad things to say but it has been said for very long so how about some positive news!! Thanks for the way you are even criticizing things because you are doing it with a lot of respect. God bless the work of your hands, keep the positive attitude, its only thing we ask from our esteemed visitors and friends.
Very informative. This is very similar to what I do when I buy property. Talking to the neighbours owners/tenants has got me some great deals. Thank you.
I have always said money is with the lower middle income in Kenya. They call them slum landlords but I would rather invest in a low income area than Lavington or wetlands .
Excellent video! Great incite into a market that many wouldn’t even consider. Looking forward to more collaboration with you next time you’re in Montenegro.
I enjoyed your interview, the questions and answers were very informative. With so many young people needing housing + inflation. 2.9 Million is a good deal.
Wow a good narrative. There is a train service that serves the area if you want to avoid the traffic. I have used it and I love the fact that there is a great scenery and no traffic at a cost of Kshs 80.
New subscriber. Keep up the great work showing Africa in better light. Even though I am a British citizen and non African descent I have always loved Africa and not making comments regarding the song by Toto. Anyways as a small time investor I love to get ideas where to both enjoy my little money buy putting it in things. Houses in other countries to get both a holiday and well investing in the local economy is something I really would love to do. Thanks for opening my eyes to Kenya even more so. Bless the people of Africa and well Kenya
Rent prices never go down in Kenya. Be assured of that. For property management, we have professional firms e.g. Knight Frank, Lloyd Masika etc. So no need to give out a house in the name of management
I love east Africans they not going around telling people that are westernize,they are developing them selfs unlike others from W. Africa, Kenya mark my words would be the power house of Africa,from South Africa.
@@danielmuchi8196 I know,i'm like shut the hell up if you have no clue of what is going on in your country.Pick up a newspaper and look where you are spending most of your time while you are at it.
This is because schools NEVER taught students on CRITICAL THINKING & OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS!!!! That’s why you can’t spot an opportunity even if it’s right in front of you....lol!!!
No trees, no green spaces, no playground ,no solar provisions etc in this day and age is disappointing. Just a concrete jungle. Greed. Make money, send it back to China without a care.
Do you how much local companies charge , whover tought Africans complaining and doing nothing really messed Africans go the bank take loan establish a company and start building better houses..stop yelling on the key board and complaining about foreigners.
Excellent! There are two huge malls and commuter train stations nearby so commute to the city is not a big deal unless one doesn't wanna use public transport.
Wonderful and enlightening content as always. Good to see outsider perspective on the Kenyan property and capital investment market. You'd be happy to know that Kenyan law is very flexible in terms of investment structuring through from individual investment to structured investment. I'd be pleased to breakdown this for you further.
To be fair, for $30k... its decent value for money. I'm a 33 year old bachelor, so I'd prefer higher quality even if I get less square meters. I'd prefer 1 bedroom flat or a studio and have access to swimming pool, gym and nicer finishing. But this is great for most families in Kenya.
Great content. Especially for me as a foreign but young Kenyan entrepreneur, I look forward to investing at home. The only way is up with real estate 👏🏿👏🏿
Not trying to discourage you or anything but if you are actually going to do more investing in Kenya, BE VERY CAREFUL. As a Kenyan, I can honestly tell you there are a shit ton of scams here especially the ones that revolve around real estate and land acquisitions. Even government officials or lawyers who you think can be trusted can easily be in on the scam. Be super careful.
$ 600,000 for 22 three bedroom units it's a very good deal. This would give you a return of about (Ksh 528,000 per calendar month ) which is equivalent to $ 5000.00 rental income per month which is pretty good.
@@benweya Kenya being a free economy country, it really doesn’t matter if I’m paid in Kenya Shillings because I can take my money out from the bank in whichever currency I wish.
@@dwamburu1 what I mean by FX risk is if you take a loan of $600k and you get your rent of Ksh 528k per month. It means you would have received $5300 in Jan 2020 but only $4800 in December because of the exchange rate. Same rent in Kenya, less money in US$. And maybe even less next year.
@@TheWanderingInvestor so far the Kenyan returns are guaranteed and they pay interest half yearly and at the end of the period you will get back your capital. You can also sell the bond in the secondary market if you don't wish to continue you can make a profit or loss depending on the interest rate you bought it for.
I concurr that government bonds are the safest. But real estate investment with a direct return of similar magnitude as Govt bonds is usually a far better tool for wealth creation due to capital growth. In real estate, capital growth tends to drive wealth creation faster than rental income. But it comes with higher risks.
The good thing about kenya is you can film these things freely and even criticize, some countries you wont get out without a visit from the authorities
$27,000 bucks? That’s roughly my monthly rent for 2.5 yrs here in my Atlanta apartment. A decent house here is around $200,000. That Kenyan home is a bargain!
another smart point. people look at real estate investment options as either land or the housing. this guy thought of buying shares in a cement company. 👌👌
@@luvingg In Kenya, they are registered as limited liability companies, to which every flat owner is a shareholder. 1 share per flat. Usually one company is registered per court/phase.
All this Chinese development makes me nervous but I am happy we have such options for housing. To the host, the way you pronounce your words and general way of speaking is very similar to Leeor Alexandra. I enjoyed this video. Good stuff
Really enjoyed your video. It's too bad it seems like this is a quick visit to Kenya. It would have been nice to see a couple more videos like this one. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Great housing opportunity outside the high-end real estate market in Nairobi. A low-cost way for the developers to 'green' it would be to plant some trees in rows. No weeding and no mowing required. Nairobi is relatively cool. If well selected, once the trees establish themselves, they will look after themselves and the aesthetic impact would be major.
I live in the area. Great area but wouldn't dare buy, The air pollution is CRAZY. We always have a smelly house at night due to all the surrounding industries. Planning my exist soon unless something changes. This is a great area ( Real estate wise), it was meant to be an industrial areal till residentials started coming up. Now it's just complains about air pollution especially at night
Great stuff showcasing investment opportunities in Kenya. There's alot of sectors that investors can get returns of 10% plus p.a like above real estate, manufacturing and some of the local businesses are ready for partnerships so they can scale
@@veraalex8412 Rich people plays the money game to win. Poor people plays the money to not lose. The goal of the truly rich people is to have massive wealth and the poor sees a surplus as an opportunity for consumption instead of investing it. change your mindset and do what the rich does, which is investing, investing and investing.
Its a great concept, however the finishes don't hold up that well. Within a year, fittings tend to need urgent replacement, cabinet doors, light fixtures, as they use the most basic to keep costs down.
Did they not have any green spaces or parks for people to spend time outside within the development complex? The properties are great for the price, but I see no greenery, which is a massive shame.

Thank you for the great visit of the apartment, the explanation and view in order to reach this suburb of Nairobi , what an amazing price for a flat.
Not trying to discourage you or anything but if you are actually going to do more investing in Kenya, BE VERY CAREFUL. As a Kenyan, I can honestly tell you there are a shit ton of scams here especially the ones that revolve around real estate and land acquisitions. Even government officials or lawyers who you think can be trusted can easily be in on the scam. Be super careful.
Land bro too

Congratulations to you William.
To the content creator thanks for showing this positive side of Kenya.
Who is William???
Wow thanks for that Volvo bit too!!
Those houses are really affordable n smart, nice highlight
I notice the ceilings are made high over there.
$ 600,000 for 22 three bedroom units it's a very good deal. This would give you a return of about (Ksh 528,000 per calendar month ) which is equivalent to $ 5000.00 rental income per month which is pretty good.
But with a forex risk if you want your income finalized in $.
@@benweya Kenya being a free economy country, it really doesn’t matter if I’m paid in Kenya Shillings because I can take my money out from the bank in whichever currency I wish.
@@dwamburu1 what I mean by FX risk is if you take a loan of $600k and you get your rent of Ksh 528k per month. It means you would have received $5300 in Jan 2020 but only $4800 in December because of the exchange rate. Same rent in Kenya, less money in US$. And maybe even less next year.
You are a very good guy !!Thanks for showcasing Kenya !!

Great, incisive information! Wish the Chinese builder would in cooperate some green spaces, even for flowers, to enhance the whole place.
I agree.
You may also be interested in checking the infrastructural bonds and treasury bonds that go from 10% to 12% and they are safer investments.
Is a government promise safer than an actual apartment?
@@TheWanderingInvestor so far the Kenyan returns are guaranteed and they pay interest half yearly and at the end of the period you will get back your capital. You can also sell the bond in the secondary market if you don't wish to continue you can make a profit or loss depending on the interest rate you bought it for.
I concurr that government bonds are the safest. But real estate investment with a direct return of similar magnitude as Govt bonds is usually a far better tool for wealth creation due to capital growth. In real estate, capital growth tends to drive wealth creation faster than rental income. But it comes with higher risks.
Do they do bonds in USD or just KSH?
@@MrTosh21 with the current government you might lose your money
The good thing about kenya is you can film these things freely and even criticize, some countries you wont get out without a visit from the authorities

Watching from Alaska. You nailed it. Low income housing is way to go. You will never go wrong. You will be lucky to get such returns in North America.
Thank you Denis. Cheers Alaska!
These are housing for middle class. Low income guys have better uses for their money and owning private cars is not one of them.
Was waiting for you to tell the lawyer it's a 3 hour commute 😂😂 Love the video, made me take a second look at the property
😅
This is great. Very affordable.
$27,000 bucks? That’s roughly my monthly rent for 2.5 yrs here in my Atlanta apartment. A decent house here is around $200,000. That Kenyan home is a bargain!
what!! Atlanta is that cheap?

Great video. Looking forward to more info about tax implications for foreign investors
Great info mate. I would like to know more of the fine details surrounding this topic and the region itself...thank you
Beautiful and fantastic analysis... You have to trust yourself with what's on the ground.
another smart point. people look at real estate investment options as either land or the housing. this guy thought of buying shares in a cement company. 👌👌
In the US, we consider these condominiums which is apartments that is individually owned.
Yeah but yiu still have monthly fees for upkeep or whatever other management service they offer.
@@mrzoukdotcomzouklambadaboo8212 You have a HOA. And that's it.
@@luvingg In Kenya, they are registered as limited liability companies, to which every flat owner is a shareholder. 1 share per flat. Usually one company is registered per court/phase.
@@georgeodhiambo598 Thank you!
The ladies discussing the house in KIMERU language is just beautiful! 😉✌️😍
Great content.
I'm enjoying the video
All this Chinese development makes me nervous but I am happy we have such options for housing. To the host, the way you pronounce your words and general way of speaking is very similar to Leeor Alexandra. I enjoyed this video. Good stuff
☺️☺️☺️
Thanks so much for the video.
The houses are so nice and good.I heard my amerucans peeps discussing how the houses look like.
So glad I have discovered your channel - great content ❤️
You should also check the water pressure. Sometimes the bathrooms look nice but the water does not work.
Kenya 🇰🇪 is the real estate giant of Africa 👏 👏👏👏👏
Really enjoyed your video. It's too bad it seems like this is a quick visit to Kenya. It would have been nice to see a couple more videos like this one. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Thank you ☺️ More videos coming 👍

Whats bad? I HAVE been in Kenya 8 times and kenyans way happier People the us or europeans
Great housing opportunity outside the high-end real estate market in Nairobi. A low-cost way for the developers to 'green' it would be to plant some trees in rows. No weeding and no mowing required.
Nairobi is relatively cool. If well selected, once the trees establish themselves, they will look after themselves and the aesthetic impact would be major.
I like the houses. I saw in the newspapers and forgot about them. Nice project I think. Thanks for showing us
I hope you'll get to visit either Tanzania, Rwanda or South Africa . Would be great to get to see the opportunities in there.

Planning my exist soon unless something changes. This is a great area ( Real estate wise), it was meant to be an industrial areal till residentials started coming up. Now it's just complains about air pollution especially at night

Very true!

@@veraalex8412 Rich people plays the money game to win. Poor people plays the money to not lose. The goal of the truly rich people is to have massive wealth and the poor sees a surplus as an opportunity for consumption instead of investing it. change your mindset and do what the rich does, which is investing, investing and investing.
Its a great concept, however the finishes don't hold up that well. Within a year, fittings tend to need urgent replacement, cabinet doors, light fixtures, as they use the most basic to keep costs down.
Did they not have any green spaces or parks for people to spend time outside within the development complex? The properties are great for the price, but I see no greenery, which is a massive shame.
