*OPINION: Buying A House In Zimbabwe's Towns Is No Longer A Worthwhile Investment - Unknown* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ja An opinionist has opined the following piece in which he urges people to prioritize building homes in the rural areas other than in Zimbabwe’s towns where amenities are a nightmare and properties are losing value. The unknown author made these valid points which might be useful for those seeking to invest their money in property: > Buying a house in town is no longer a worthwile investment. Bulawayo with it’s acute water shortages and intensive load shedding is now unhabitable. I think relocating to an rural area is the only alternative , especially for those ones who are buying property for the first time. With an amount of $30 000 you can built a spacious rural home, with a lot of space to do horticulture projects and chicken rearing, yet the same $30k will only afford to buy a four roomed dilapidated worn out house, in a densely populated, sewage stinking location like Old Magwegwe and Mzilikazi, with no space to do self-help horticultural projects. I know some imbeciles who have signed a covenant with poverty will say a city has many facilities on offer within reach, but that’s a baseless argument with the current Bulawayo which i know. > With $30k. Most rural stands cost less than $1k, with total acreage of five hectares and above. Here is the breakdown: $20k can erect a 5roomed house, 2roundhuts, a granary, blair toilet, and fencing a ten hectare stand. With an amount of $5k you can buy a 5 cows, 5 goats, 3 pigs, 5 roadrunners, and raise 100 broilers. Just imagine how much stock you will be in possession of in the next ten years!!!!!!. With the remaining $5k you can drill a borehole and a Biogas facility. Mind you at zero cost you can own an orchard of five mangoes, oranges, guavas , avocadoes, and peaches. Now my question is can you afford to do all these things in a 200 square metres of land. > Let’s do the MATHS. The choice is in your hands. Take these tips SERIOUSLY. Zimbabwe has a uniform education Syllabus either rural or urban ( for those who were saying education is better in the cities than rural areas). We only live once, so why do you make your life a misery by staying in sewage and garbage stinking cities without water whilst there is an option of ‘smart rural areas’. Lastly in the nineteenth century the whites left a fully fledged megapolis London and Paris to occupy the African jungles and they turned it into habitable cities. > My point here is its hightime we swallow our pride and divorce our unions with poverty,we leave the slums and water scarce cities and build smart rural areas. # Handeyi kumusha# itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
