REMARKS
With an annual rent increment of 10%, the building will ROI within less thn 8 years hence a viable investment.
With the same repayment period of 8 years for both Ground floor only construction and Ground floor + 4 levels,
and potential for building to attract constant regular tenancy, construction of the complete G+4 levels is also
a viable option.

  1. Except the small problem of cost of capital. Assume – 15% P.A for 8 years then you are looking at a total cost of Kes 27,478,004.13 (15,950,000.00 + 11,528,004.13 interest).
    And ofcourse the other small matter of taxes.

    1. @ Joey..true.. the cost of borrowing is way too high in Kenya. Countries like Canada have a 2% interest rate average for the same money. Kenya/African Central Bankers will need to perform magic to reduce this to something affordable.
