Diaspora
Amazing Deals For Diaspora Clients
At Southgate Homes, We consider anyone outside the borders of Kenya in Africa, America, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Middle East to be a diaspora Investor whether you are out for studies, work or are a permanent residence in another country but are a Kenyan Citizen.
We aspire to provide customized first-class property management services for individual and corporate clients.
Today more than ever, Kenyans living or working abroad are investing heavily back at home, especially in real estate. Most leave their properties under the watch of relatives or neighbors who are busy and often overwhelmed by their own affairs leading to losses, unaccountability and misreporting.
We offer a tailor-made package for accountable management of such properties that include property inspection, letting, tenant liaison, rental collection, monthly reporting and property maintenance.
One of the most profitable ways to invest and utilize your property is by renting out to people who will pay you monthly to occupy the apartment.
With this investment, your tenants get to just wire money into your accounts even as you continue working in the diaspora.
This will only require one to make occasional visits to the properties whenever they are in the country.
