HOW I BUILT 700K 2 BEDROOM SELF CONTAINED BRICK HOUSE Part 1

Building especially when you're below 40 years is considered by financial advisers as a liability. But I hold the opinion that the earlier you do it the better. What do you think

[@pascalsungujournalist]

One advise I will give you. FUNDIS or contractors are thieves and they will over quote prices of materials and even labour. Always insist on paying not more than 30% of the total cost of the house as labour. The other thing is to pay on per diem(per day) basis especially if you have put down all the required materials. We live in a corrupt country and many contractors will steal from you

[@mgeninjoo2087]

I agree and they tend to over estimate materials ...akisema leta this amount heri ulete 80% of it kwanza

[@pascalsungujournalist]

Thanks Kaka...Although so many regard this as a liability, I personally hold the opinion that the earlier you do it the better. From there you can now relax and do other investments.

[@desteriomatimbai6435]

Kudos, mkuu this is encouraging. Atleast you have killed some unncesarry stereotype.

[@pascalsungujournalist]

Thanks bro...some people think we're lost in town and we don't have houses in the village 😄
