Username

Research is always informative and helps you discover things you didn’t know about. The past few weeks, we’ve been working on SME research.

While on our ins and outs, we came across username. Did you know you can own land with as little as KSH.200,000? If you’re Kenyan, you know how valuable land is and even though there are other investments you can have out there, this is one of the sure bets; the land is always appreciating!

The people you see reaping the benefits of prime land are those that invested early! You could decide to just hold it to resell later or do construction for a home or rentals. Either way, you will have passive income from this or safe from paying rent. It’s a worthwhile investment.

Now that I’m done selling you on land, let’s get to the how. So Username is a platform that buys land and adds value e.g roads, swimming pools, schools, and shopping centers and then resells it in portions to interested buyers.

“We have been providing Kenyans with affordable properties that can comfortably be transformed into homes.”

When you visit their site, you will see all the projects they have going. If you see one you’re interested in, you can easily get in touch and start the process.

The Process

After identifying a project, you can get in touch with Username for further information and consultation. This could be through a simple phone call or a visit to their office at the Mirage in Westlands.

From there they take you to the site of the project. They also hold open days where they have events and all the interested buyers are free to attend. Here you get more information and get to view the land. In addition, they have a Q&A where they answer any questions and receive suggestions.

After this, you can commit by paying a percentage of the total and can keep paying for the entirety of 6 months which is the average time the project takes. You can also negotiate for a payment plan that suits you. This is what makes username unique. They have affordable prices as well as take care of the legal matters involving the title deeds and transfer of ownership.

Lessons:

You can get other alternatives investments and payments out there, you just need to go out and find out what works.
