In this episode we interview Nomcebo Masuku who is on a mission to own an entire street of properties.
Nomcebo is an engineer who started her journey with her partner, who convinced her to buy a 2 bedroom house in Westdene, Johannesburg.
Once they bought the property, they moved into it as they refurbished it, added an extra 2 bedrooms and rented it out to 6 students.
They paid a mortgage of R9, 000 and made a rental income of R15, 000.
A few years later, they bought a rundown property in Melville, Johannesburg, moved into that one as well, refurbished it and rented it out to 10 students at R4,000 per month per student ans now make a cashflow of R40, 000 per month.
Their mortgage for that property is R12,000.
They then went back and bought 2 more properties in the same street as their first property in Westdene and are now on track to buy all the properties on that street.
This was definitely one of our favorite episodes because of the way they buy and renovate their properties - they live in the property, do their own renovations and get tenants as each part of the property comes together, so they don't lose money in the process.
They have an 82% retention rate for their properties because of the way they renovate them and upgrade them.
Nomcebo and her partner have now started a company, Solwazi Engineering Turnkey Projects, helping newbie investors maximize their return on investment in their properties.
