Investors in big town houses and maisonettes are earning the highest rental yields (cash returns), among residential properties, with owners of studios and bedsitter apartments getting the lowest returns, a new report shows.

A real estate 2023/2024 report conducted and published by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), shows that a two bedroom townhouse attracted the highest yield of 8.3 percent per annum and a three bedroom maisonette had a return of eight percent.
