On a serious note, the Ugandans are copying Nai very closely in terms of their construction industry. So owning a couple of plots is not a bad idea. And its easily doable.MainaThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266497232119983697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37479680.post-67347139367640995522008-09-01T16:37:00.000+01:002008-09-01T16:37:00.000+01:00Hey KCIG, I made some inquiries on Real estate in ...Hey KCIG, I made some inquiries on Real estate in UG from the same guys, Jomayi, and the prices are very attractive compared to Kenya when buying into the outskirts - 8-15 km from the CBD. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is not in place and planning not yet in force. Beyond that, the law does not give foreigners leeway to own land in UG unless you marry there :). <BR/><BR/>As for development, you might have to hold on to your land for a while if you intend to maximize on rentals from apartments (as it is in Kenya) because Flats/Apartments are still not yet fashionable in the urban areas like in Nairobi's Upmarket. In fact, they do Bungalows well but the sale prices are still not as lucrative as here in Kenya. The prices especially for inputs like cement are still low..... Some cement firm exports to Sudan after EAPCC (Kenyan) pulled out in 2006.<BR/><BR/>But there is hope given the GDP growth levels in UG (7-8%) so we can hold and speculate for 10 years to come. Am working on possibility using a Company to get hold there like some foreign firms who bought and developed exclusive homes for sale.P's KIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119245998313193344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37479680.post-33018153721050372082008-09-01T15:15:00.000+01:002008-09-01T15:15:00.000+01:00Vision 2030 is corporate speak for doing nothing. ...Vision 2030 is corporate speak for doing nothing. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you've come across such tag lines at work. At my place of work, they come up with one every 2 years. And you can be sure they never achieve the targets. <BR/><BR/>Welcome to the real world.The Black Mambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093261923557991519noreply@blogger.com
