It seems like investment trends change with the seasons. Who knows. ​ But there’s one thing that’s always been there—quiet, without promising overnight riches, yet delivering solid results: real estate. ​ Now, some people claim real estate isn’t profitable. ​ ​ ​ Let’s break down why real estate continues to be one of the best investments out there: ​ Stability: ​ “Passive” income – never passive, I know but quite so… ​ ​ Consistent appreciation: ​ Control over your investment: This is the ultimate benefit.

Most people say: “It’s too small for a PPP.” They’re wrong. In fact, this one might be your best lesson yet. In Eldoret, Kenya, the local government pulled off a PPP for solar-street-lighting.
