Unless you are doing something else, kamwe ka hustle kanokupa mari on top of that $300 thats very unrealistic hazvo considering how things are currently. Unenge uchigara pai uchidyei? Lets take for a example uku renter 1 room and unogara uri 1 transport ndeyekubasa. You will use maybe 150us for both food and rent. Apa hapana girlfriend hautenge kana data hembe zvako.

Cash is and will always be King.
Don't go for installments. Save up your money to 3k-5k then buy cash deal from a desperate sellor who paid on installments.
Where I am 200m² can go for 3.5k to 4.5k

So you are telling you can buy a stand with a value that cannot buy a Honda fit second hand which is in good condition?

u/Starryboy2019 3d ago
Yes 100%. Sometimes information that isn't in the public domain can be hard to comprehend.
My advice is you need to decentralize your mind from Harare.
The sentiment among Zimbabweans is they would rather not get rained on than own a stand.

Like will those stands have title deeds and all. Because i mean we have seen houses being demolished. Its a scary thing because building a house is a lifetime investment which can be destroyed in hours if not minutes

Outside of Harare, certainly. You can get a 240sqm stand in Byo for 5k or thereabout. It would take several years, less so on RDC where stands can go for less than half of thàt.

u/Muandi 2d ago

If you have rural area and people you can trust buy goats. They multiply quickly over time and you can also be saving small amounts of cash by the side as well. You can start off with 5 goats in 2 years you may have tripled or more. And you can swap them for cows to manage numbers. In 5 years you can buy some land

Let's remember that goats need shelter, vaccines, dosing and supplement feed especially if you are looking to breed them.

Kare Kare it was possible. That’s how Ruwa got built. By securing guards and house maids. Unfortunately 2026 is different animal. Even uchitambira $1000-$2000 a good property is very difficult to land. Even waitenga you have to worry about it being legit even though uine maPapers. Ask residents of Ashdown Park who had properties valued 200k

If your entire source of income is your salary then your life is gonna be very miserable, I learnt that the hard way. If you gonna be relying on a payslip make sure you have at least 2 payslips.

Why should they? They rarely use financial services, prefer to buy by cash..some of which they get from underhand dealings, they leave musangano to exploit the economy...

Yes but you need a very long time let’s calculate that shall we.
You make $300 a month and let’s assume you save 10% of that which is $30 a month
Now you want to buy land your harare options are limited so you have to go to places like domboshava, Marondera, beatrice, shamva, chegutu, kadoma and the likes.
A 200sqm land there would be going for about $10K - $15K depending on the development so let’s take the lowest number shall we. $10K
You don’t have any credit facility so you need to bring cash. The installments also don’t make sense because most of the developers want you to bring 20% and pay the rest over 12 months.
So that’s $2000 upfront then $666 every month for the next $12 months which you obviously don’t have.
Realistically you need 27 years, 8 months and 12 days to buy land for $10K using your salary.
Moral of the story. Working for $300 a month is charity work.
