Think real estate is out of your league? Think again.
In Nairobi and across Kenya, rising property prices, hefty deposits, and tough mortgage terms have made homeownership feel impossible for many. But what if you could start owning property for just Ksh 10,000?

Welcome to fractional ownership—a modern, affordable way to own part of a high-value property and earn passive income from it. Whether you're a young professional, a chama member, or someone tired of renting, this guide will help you understand how fractional real estate ownership in Kenya works—and how you can start today.

With platforms like Mirako Homes, you can invest as little as Ksh 10,000 into a property and receive a legal stake. You’ll earn monthly rental income, enjoy property appreciation, and build long-term wealth without needing to buy an entire house.

What is Fractional Ownership in Real Estate?

Fractional ownership is when multiple individuals pool their money together to co-own a rental property. Instead of purchasing an entire home, you buy a fraction or share of the property, based on how much you contribute.

This model is gaining popularity in Kenya, especially in Nairobi, where property values are high. It offers low-budget real estate investment opportunities, ideal for millennials, side hustlers, or salaried professionals looking to grow wealth.

What makes this different from other platforms?

 At Mirako Homes, we simplify the legal process by offering curated investment properties with clear exit strategies, group management support, and minimal paperwork—tailored specifically for Kenyan investors.

How Are Property Ownership Shares Calculated?

Your share of ownership is determined by how much you invest relative to the total property value.

Example:

Property value: Ksh 5,000,000

Your investment: Ksh 500,000

Ownership = (500,000 ÷ 5,000,000) x 100 = 10%

Unlike some competitors, Mirako Homes ensures transparency through our investor dashboard where you can track the exact percentage you own, receive rent statements, and project your earnings.

Understanding Ownership Ratios and Returns

The ownership ratio affects your:

Rental income (monthly payouts)

Appreciation value (property value growth)

Exit  earnings(should you resell your share)

If the property later appreciates to Ksh 6 million:

New value of your 10% = 10% x 6,000,000 = Ksh 600,000

Why this matters? 

At Mirako Homes, investors receive regular reports on rental performance, property maintenance, and resale options—features often missing in blockchain-based platforms.

What Does It Mean to Own 10% of a Property?

Let’s say you invest Ksh 1 million into a Ksh 10 million rental property.

You receive 10% of the monthly rent (e.g., Ksh 120,000 x 10% = Ksh 12,000/month)

If the property increases in value to Ksh 12 million, your share is worth Ksh 1.2 million

Mirako Homes simplifies the ownership experience with legal protections under Kenyan law—not just blockchain tokens. Your share is tied to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), giving you better legal clarity.

How to Calculate Your Net Worth from Fractional Ownership

To determine your wealth growth: Net Worth = Initial Investment + Rental Earnings + Appreciation

Example:

Initial investment: Ksh 300,000

Rental income: Ksh 50,000

Appreciation gain: Ksh 70,000

Total Net Worth = Ksh 420,000

Is Fractional Ownership Right for You?

If you:

Pay rent but don’t own anything

Want to invest in real estate but lack millions

Prefer passive income without managing tenants

Are part of a chama or group investment

…then fractional ownership is your gateway into real estate.

At Mirako Homes, we add value beyond investment: we provide portfolio recommendations, vetted properties, and group support—ideal for both beginners and seasoned investors.
