I want to thank Mr. Paul Graham for fully funding my loan. I promise to invest the money in the indicated project. Currently, I have been able to begin payment on land worth Ksh. 550,000. According to the contract, I will be done paying the land within the next one year. I am legally allowed to develop the land and I am in the process of looking for a developer who will help in improving the value of land. This is just the beginning of being a real-estate investor. Thanks to the Zidisha family for this amazing concept that has helped me set up Academic Research, Consultancy, Retail Pharmacy Outlet, and now going into the real-estate business.
