Real estate in Kenya has been fluctuating due to the economic changes in the political sector. In the last two years, reduced cash liquidity has greatly reduced the number of internal and external investors in the country.

Most sectors in the economy have been affected including transport industry, tourism industry, agriculture industry, exports and imports. Real estate, however, has been consistent on being one of the sectors where the numbers do not go down the investment chart.

In real estate, the numbers could go up slowly or faster depending on the economy but will not go down. This is one of the Key reasons why, you should invest in the real estate in Kenya.

Now that you want to invest in real estate, how will you go about it?

Invest in Low-cost housing
If you’re a homeowner and you have the cash, then I would advise that you get the high-end properties. These properties have more amenities and location convenience.If you’re in the real estate market for investment, then I would advise you to pick the low-cost housing.According to most real estate reports, there has been an oversupply of the high-end housing compared to the demand. This has resulted in property rental being low priced to accommodate the other part of the community. Reduced prices have resulted in a lower return of investment.

If you want to maximize your investment, pick the low-cost housing. To see more of the property available in the market, see our website property listing.
Conduct Due diligence
You need to be educated when investing in real estate. Do your due diligence when buying a property because, on the side of the law, ignorance is never an excuse. There are many instances where people have gone to new real estate companies and realtors that are cropping up, bought land and later had the titles revoked. This happens when you do not do your due diligence.You need to consult your lawyers to assist in checking the land history and who is the current owner. You need to confirm that the land was bought from the legit owner and that the title is authentic. You can check some of these details from the lands office.

Well, to say the truth, doing some of this tasks can be tedious and take the fun out of real estate investing in Kenya. Well, there is an easy way out of this, and I will share the trick.
