HOW TO START A SUCCESSFUL HOUSE HUNTING BUSINESS WITH ZERO CAPITAL IN KENYA

WHAT PROBLEM CAN YOU SOLVE?

Today, so many people find it difficult finding a SUITABLE vacant house in the location they need, within their budget and with features that are beneficial to them.

So, most have to walk door to door asking if there's a vacant house in those plots and in the end, they don't get exactly what they want.

Others go to Social Media platforms trying to get leads only to get scammed or at best not get what they want.

Many of the agents helping with house hunting are corrupt and unprofessional and therefore, tenants/landlords don't want them.

They give scanty information, force you to go door to door in their company and demand you pay them viewing fees and agency fees. Ukora mtupu!

It's like a shoes salesperson charging you to see if the shoe fits you.

At the same time, landlords are desperate for suitable tenants. Tenants who are the best fit for their house, who will love to stay there and pay rent bila drama.

These landlords are willing to pay you some good commission for every tenant you bring to their premises.

Some will pay 100% of the deposit, others will agree to a certain figure. You only need to negotiate a good Win Win deal.

That's where it becomes a business for you. Solving a problem so many people have in your town that other businesses are not able or willing to solve adequately.

It's a simple business to do and you can start with the plot you stay in. You can do it as a family business or you can team up with your friends and cover a bigger town.

STARTING IS VERY EASY

1. Identify VACANT RENTAL HOUSES whose landlords want help with marketing. Do not beg landlords who don't want help.

2. Make a deal with the right landlords or property agents that after you bring suitable tenants, they will pay a certain amount of money as commission.

Most will accept that.

3. Now, take as much information about the house as possible. Notice the features of the house beneficial to tenants.

Take so many photos showing beneficial features and amenities.

Gate, fence, outside of the house, stairs, kitchen, toilet, wardrobes, carpark, balcony, windows...

4. To reach thousands of Kenyans looking for such a house, your business partner is Renters Hub.

5. When tenants call, take them to the house, show them around the premises, introduce them to the landlord or managing property agents and help them rent.

Be there as their witness as they sign tenancy contract. You are a professional, remember?

6. Receive your commission and share Renters Hub's cut. If there's no more vacant unit in the plot, mark it OCCUPIED on your Renters Hub's dashboard.
