About Me

I am a graduate of the University of Nairobi (Kenya) where i graduated with a Bachelors degree in Land Economics (now renamed to Bachelor of Real Estate). I have a wealth of experience on issues of land valuation, property management and estate agency in Kenya having worked with both local and international real estate companies.

I have traveled extensively in all the provinces in Kenya and in the East and Southern African countries. I am is currently working as a property valuer and real estate investment adviser with Arkade Africa Ltd. I am a respected blogger on real estate issues. I write for my blog http://kariukiwaweru.com, Kenyan & South African property magazines and contributes regularly to DN2 on the Daily Nation on Thursday.

I have written Kenya’s ONLY Real Estate Book titled THE ABC OF INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE IN KENYA. The Law, The Logic, The Math. I am a Graduate Member of the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (G.M.I.S.K.) Valuation and Estate Management Surveyors (V.E.M.S.) Chapter.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ and am married to my best friend Ruth Wanjiru and we have one son. We reside in Nairobi, Kenya

My Business

I am in the business of writing real estate books.

I printed my first book, The ABC of real estate investment in Kenya in 2012 and i have so far sold all the 500 copies.

I have revised the book to include the latest laws and trends in real estate in Kenya and its available on Amazon. This is the link to purchase the book on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KA3CZI2

I would like funding to be able to print it and sell it to the local market.

Printing one book will cost approximately USD 2.5. I will need to print a minimum of 1000 copies which will therefore cost approximately USD 2,500.

I will sell the book for USD 25, the same price i have sold the previous copies.

If i sell at USD 25 per book, i will have a gross revenue of USD 25,000.

The net profit will be approximately 70% of the revenue which is 17,500
