How to invest like a professional

Sometime last year, I decided to go back to school. Money school. I remember my mum asking if I’d find the time for it. But in life, prioritising is everything, and I was at a point in my life where I needed to learn more about investment options and find a tailor-made solution for my money. We’ve heard stories of friends, family members or famous individuals who were flush with cash at some point in their lives, but they’re now languishing in poverty. Managing money matters to all of us. The questions you need to ask yourself are: what percentage of your income goes to savings? How much have you saved? With these savings, what are your intentions? How long can you last on the savings alone? If your main source of income were to fail today, would you go back to the struggle or confidently take up a new venture? Simple exercise Now a simple exercise. Take a piece of paper and answer each and every question that I just listed above. Read more

Why Lavington is more attractive to investors than Kilimani

Investors seeking to buy property, especially three-bedroom apartments are advised to first consider checking out Lavington, where effective demand for sale is increasing as compared to neighbouring locale, Kilimani, whose demand for sale is decreasing. A study by Data Fintech (DF) shows that between first quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2017, the median price for buying a three-bedroom apartment increased in Lavington by 9.1% and 5.8% in Kilimani. The estimated price for the three-bedroom unit is Ksh21 million. The gross return on investment (ROI), which is the accumulation of the rent yield and the property price appreciation, is 11.9% in Lavington and 11% in Kilimani. Mr Justus Thuo, a real estate market analyst Data Fintech, points out the difference in rent per month for a three-bedroom apartment in both estates – Ksh100,000 in Lavington and Ksh120,000 in Kilimani – as the major driving force. “The median rent in Lavington is lower than the median rent in Kilimani yet the quality of the properties is the same so there is a price gap, which is drawing the increasing effective demand in Lavington and a slowdown in Kilimani,” he says. The same has been seen in the pricing for the units where the…

It has experienced its share of good performance over time, contributing to 7.85% and 8.12 % of the GDP for the last three years according to the Central Bank of Kenya economic review (2015) The Nairobi traffic jam! Don’t we all hate it? Developers are avoiding areas with a lot of traffic for other parts of the city. Kenneth Kaniu, Britam CEO spoke during the launch of the firm’s Nairobi Office Market report “The traffic continues to be very challenging where getting in and out is not easy so as a result, many new tenants who are coming on board including multinational companies are opting for other areas.” Land prices in Kenya as a whole have in the past few years been going through the roof. We do not have control over this. It is unfortunate that this fast growing economy has some of the most expensive lands with not enough natural resources we can rely on. Places not too far from the city where most people report to bake bread every day, continue to develop at a fast rate and are the best to invest in. Ngong,…
