Borrowed..........
Home buying is a big deal, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. People buy homes for many different reasons. Most buy for the sole purpose of living in them; others use the home buying market as an investment tool.
There are many factors one needs to consider when buying a house, whether to live in or as an investment opportunity. First and most important is do the research. Know what you’re buying.
One of the most important factors to research when buying a home is location. The city estate and neighborhood should all be considered very carefully. We’ve heard it said over and over again. The 3 l’s of property are location, location, and Location – and there is a reason for that.
So why is location so important? Well, unless you plan to live in the house forever, eventually, you or your family estate will want to sell it. You want the home to appreciate in value. You also want to be able to sell quickly when that time comes. What you don’t want is a house for sale sign sitting in your front yard for years.
It doesn’t matter how wonderful your property is, you’ll have a very difficult time trying to sell your home for top shilling in a bad neighborhood in a reasonable amount of time. This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a bad home. What it simply means is that there will be less demand. That’s not what you want when you decide or have to sell your house.
One needs to apply a neighborhood litmus test when buying a home. This is very crucial. Things to consider include schools, nearby growth and development, and convenience. A tour in the neighborhood would be adequate for you to take stock of the schools and other amenities within easy reach. This information can also be found on the Internet. If all else fails, real estate agents have access to this information and can be very helpful. The value of your home will appreciate much more if it is located in a neighborhood with good amenities.
New construction activities nearby also plays a great role in improving the value of a house and should definitely be considered when buying a house. A neighborhood which is on the outskirts of a new development will benefit from the higher prices of the newly constructed homes. If, however, the neighborhood exhibits signs of decline or stagnation, one should think twice before buying that house
One other item to consider when looking for a house for sale is it’s proximity to places of convenience like shopping centers, transportation hubs, and recreation facilities. Remember, someone else will be house buying from you in the future. It will happen. And… they will be looking at the same factors at that time. A house in a neighborhood too much delinked from the main working zone will be a hard sell in the future.
As they say, you don’t buy a house, you buy the neighborhood.

SIX WAYS TO MAKE MONEY OFF YOUR IDLE LAND
(Without ever lifting a finger........)

Some Tips

So you have taken the plunge, spent all your life savings to invest in a piece of land, fulfilled your lifelong dream of finally owning real estate. In Kenya, like most parts of the world, real estate is the only solid investment above all else. That being the case, the rush to invest in one because of mass euphoria is highly likely.

The number of people who’ve bought land as an investment and don’t know what to do with it is baffling other than wait for it appreciate in value.

So what can you do to make some money with that vacant land instead of waiting to it’s value changes. We’ve come across this seven proven ideas that we believe will help you make some good money off your dirt.

STORAGE

Yeah, we know it’s hard to believe this but there is a lot of money in storage. For many who have invested in land with close proximity to airports or port harbours will benefit more with this kind of business. Kenya’s current importation level exceeds the the amount the airports and harbours storage facilities increasing the demand for storage facilities outside this areas.Developing mini­type facilities doesn;t require much capital, marketing or staffing. The opportunities are endless depending on what you’re willing to store.

PARKING SPACE

Parking is a billion shilling industry in Nairobi alone. With over 30,000 units of vehicles being bought in Kenya, 60 percent of those vehicles are in Nairobi increasing the demand of parking inevitably. Wherever it is you’ve bought land within the city, you won’t go wrong with converting it into a fully fledged parking lot. The average minimum charge for parking in Nairobi is approximately KES 200 per day and say about half an acre of land can fit around 100 vehicles.

TIMBER HARVESTING

Now mentioning timber harvesting doesn’t necessarily mean venturing full scale into the logging business. Alot of timber suppliers are coming under pressure because strict government measure to protect any form of wood source, lumber companies are looking in new locations for wood. Prices paid for timber vary depending on what’s grown and how old the trees are. Your vacant land can act as source to this lumber companies or contractors in meantime suppose you lease it to them.

MARKETING AND EVENT PLACE

Suppose your vacant land borders busy highway or it is in a strategic a location altogether, it can serve as a prime locale for companies to erect billboards, network mast base stations and events space. Payments to landowners will vary wildly, depending on the size of the sign, current advertising rates, traffic counts, and numerous other factors. But if you’re fine with having a sign erected on your land, it could mean thousands ­­ and even millions ­­ of shillings in your pocket each month.

FARMING LEASE

Yes, we are talking wheat, maize, beans and crops similar to that. Kenya’s economy runs on agriculture as much as other industries are growing. Naturally you will need to have an area on your land that is open and can be accessed by tractor and what not but then again it doesn’t have to be a lot of acreage. Most farmers are looking for land where they can plant. ​

All the owner has to do is set up a lease agreement and then watch the income roll in month after month. Keep in mind that the larger your plot of land, the more attractive it will be to an interested farmer.

What Are The Benefits of Using a Property Management Company?
A competent property manager can add significant value to your investment, which is why many seasoned real estate investors will tell you that a good management company is worth retaining.
Here are a few services that a good property manager will provide:
Higher Quality Tenants
Think of tenant vetting as the most important process when leasing out your property and draw bridges around your castle !
It is certainly possible to get a bad tenant and getting them out of your property once they are in, can be a real hassle and you are so much better off never accepting them in the first place !
A thorough screening process results in reliable tenants that:
Pay on time, longer tenancy and puts less wear and tear on the unit. Generally this causes less problems in the course of the tenancy .
An experienced property management company has seen thousands of applications and knows how to quickly dig for the real facts about candidates and analyze that information for warning signs.
By allowing a management company to handle the screening, you will also be shielding yourself from rental scams and undesirable tenants that property owners go through.
This kind of experience takes time, and insomuch as it means avoiding bad tenants, scams and lawsuits it is arguably one of the most significant benefits a property management company will provide.
This vetting will ensure fewer costly and time consuming legal problems
Veteran landlords know it only takes one troublesome tenant to cause significant legal and financial headaches. A good property manager is armed with the knowledge of the latest landlord-tenant laws and will ensure that you are not leaving yourself vulnerable to a potential law suit.
We have laws that govern both the tenant and property owner , these laws cover a number of areas including but not limited to:
Safety and property conditions of the property
Evictions
Inspections
Lease addendums
Terminating leases
Handling security deposits
Rent collection etc etc
Avoiding a single law suit can more than pay for the property management fees, and spare you time and anguish.
A property manager will help you perform three critical tasks that affect how long it takes to fill your vacancies:
1) Improve and prepare your property for rental
2) will suggest and oversee cosmetic improvements that maximize revenue.
3) Determine the best rent rate...........

Call us today for one on one and we will take you through the many more benefits for having a property manager for your property .

A Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing

May 4, 2016

If you're thinking about investing in real estate to make money, you need to first determine your financial goals. Do you need to make money quickly, invest for your children's college fund, or build wealth for your retirement? Once you determine your financial goals, you need to decide which type of investing strategy works for you.

Fast Cash Strategy

If you're low on cash, get started by finding a bargain houses or land and sell the deal to another real estate investor. Join a real estate investing club such as Investor clinics to find investors willing to pay you for finding good deals.

Income Property Strategy

If you want to increase your monthly income, look for income property that have a yield of more than 10%. Such a property has the potential to pay your loan and put some cash in your pocket if your financing was done right. Start with low income properties of Kes 2.5M to 5M. Fix them up to generate top rental income. You may need to go out from your home area to a location that supports this type of return on your money. You will need good credit ratings to get a loan with a financial institution. In a few years, your rental income should go up. Many real estate investors enjoy millions of shillings each month generated by income property.

However, some investors don't like dealing with tenants and prefer to make money in other real estate ventures.

Investment Property Strategy

If you want to make money focusing on profits, investment property offers a different strategy. Instead of worrying about rental income, look for property that you can transform and sell or property that will appreciate significantly over time. Besides fixing a house up, you can transform a property by changing it. Many investors also buy land and make money by holding the land until it increases in value. We are in a developing economy and most of our land is in development phase. Take advantage of strategic land buying for sale at some later date.

Examine your financial situation along with your long term goals. You can get started by flipping properties, move onto income properties, and then make larger profits with investment properties. You might end up using a combination of all three strategies to make money investing in real estate.

To make the best out of the resources that you have join our monthly training program invesor clinics and learn deep strategies and tactics that will propel your returns dramatically. Sign up for the upcoming class by giving your details here booking.investorclinics.com
