When I was a teenager there were still efforts to create distrust between Africans and African Americans by various groups. Look how quickly Auston developed good brotherly relations in East Africa. In relationships between Africans and African Americans both parties bring something to the table.

[@frederickcaines7019]

@@Hippobottomless In Tanzania, do as the Tanzanians do. If we go to Africa with American buying culture we will drive the price so high no one will be able to afford anything. This is what's happening in Ghana, after the year of return. We need to pay full price in the U.S when buying from other African Americans. Muzungoos in the U.S use super high rents and fees as a tactics when we open business, in hopes we fail.

The first apartment is too expensive. Last year, I rented a one bedroom apartment fully furnished in Victoria apartments, nicer neighborhood than this in mikocheni area, for 700$ , pool, gym, and very nice area, and brand new apartment. The second apartment should be 400$. The first should be 450$

[@usa_kenyan]

I don't know how they do real estate in Tanzania. But in Kenya it's really important that you try to determine the reputation of the seller before you make any important decisions. Find out whether the seller has had any problems and if so, have they been resolved? Also, consider getting a good lawyer who can go over your paperwork before any money has exchanged hands, just to make sure everything is fine. In Kenya there are definitely some shady characters in the real estate business, meaning that someone not based in the community needs to do due diligence, as they say.

[@moorfortune901]

Both of the apartments are nice, but I like the views of the 2nd location. its rent to own option aint bad considering u can airbnb it out for passive income when youre away.

[@RCWrightX89]

6:57 I live in Jacksonville, FL here in the USA. The apartment featured in this video is beautiful. It is better than the places I have lived in over the years. To call places like a Tanzania, Africa a third world country is foolish. The world is advancing and developing faster than many western countries. There is no need to stay in the USA. The politicians and lazy people are turning this country into a third world hell hole.

[@Aham-Na]

You’re an idiot it’s because of western nations africa had advanced to the point it has and as a black person those politics in America surround YOU, your people, you want change them change the cultural narrative and re affect the market, it’s all cultural and psychological, …! Those white liberals arent your friends, I’d guarantee a so called racist would do more for you in terms of your own realistic longevity, infact I’d bet him And you find common ground without the Jew or white liberal poking in

[@dariuscrosby7813]

Chello, take the third apt. With the view, better for resale.

[@shotimemillionaire]

If you're planning on staying in Tanzania long term then it make sense to make the investment, but if you're staying short term and planning on visiting other countries then I wouldn't anchor myself down with appliances and crap. Travel light, you can always come back once you complete the Auston African tour.

&500 for 2bdr is a good deal n it’s gated with a guard 24/7. U can get someone to clean ur place 2-3 a week for like $50 a month and a driver for $100 a month depending on how often u go out. U can live a great life in Africa if u have decent money

[@augustineadeyanju9638]

You right only if you have money , but the problem is you can’t make it over there in Africa , you have to make it here first .

[@moemrizzle1991]

The apartments look dope af!

[@hassanzorome7497]

The first apartment is a great deal cause you have more safety and privacy. Just to have a security guard 24 hours is a big deal and you better be safe than sorry.

[@yomioloko9727]

Both apartments look nice. However things need to ve seen in context $500 - $600 is very cheap for someone coming from the West. But it seems Tanzania accommodation is a bit on the high side. I've recently relocated to Abuja, Nigeria and for about $400 per month I and my partner live in a 4 bed 2 floor place with each room ensuite. Its in a middle income area. However in Nigeria you have to pay 1 year upfront. The only downside to living in Abuja, despite it being the capital of Nigeria, is it can get a bit boring. To counteract that my plan is twice a year spend 1 month in another Africa. Sonas Tanzania is on my radar for nwxt year I'm enjoying ypur channel. Hope you flat huntingbworks out well.

[@scraw3]

Tanzania is not on the high side, but dar es salaam is. The closer to downtown the higher the price, so most people find cheaper rent in the outskirts like mbwezi beach

[@voornaamachternaam5745]

By boring you mean what ? Fitness ,clubs, restaurants, shopping what else ?

[@solomonKachi7000]

[@rybackfrankie8679]

​​@@tekds1492 Depends of the country I guess. In Congo, which is my father's country, they ask you to pay 3 months in advance.

[@omaryshakiru3870]

In Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿 it depends on city and ppl in Dar es salaam most want six months tho u can negotiate to less Also if it's an apartment he's can't be worried that's where best services are at

[@lasthour7132]

Negotiate 3 months just in case you don’t like it. We did 6 months and something came up we had to leave. They were willing to do 3 months. I wish I picked 3 months cause we left early and waisted money. We got 2 three bedroom houses for $194.00 a month each. That’s kind of high for those apartments you looking at. I remember looking at big houses in Dar for $400 to $500 a month they looked like Minnie mansions!

[@radarynwashington8023]

I like the 2nd complex,Auston. It's more cost efficient and has a nicer view...

[@omaryshakiru3870]

In Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿 u only need the street or village chairman as witness plus neighbors on both sides of ur area if ur buying land or a house but mostly u need a local person who understands the place better so that u won't buy where there's disputes since he's a foreigner they won't scam him but he's gonna more than a local would

Have the Agent do a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) on some of the other rentals are going for in the neighborhood within a mile radius by the square footage and the condition of the property before making $500 a month your final price. If you can do it yourself then that would be even better.

Do what you want. I don't know your long term plan. But, i strongly caution anyone from buying anything in a foreign country without a waiting period and trusted legal representation. The number of USA citizens who did that in Costa Rica forms around the corner. Its easy to get caught up in the fervor.

[@TheMikeyStory]

very nice developments for the price .

[@clydecovington3972]

See if you can haggle the first apartment down to 3 or 4 months in advance rather than six months if it is negotiable. Most third world countries either don’t mind haggling or they charge foreigners more for things than they charge locals anyway. It’s worth a shot. That way you can move up to the second one later on.

[@tekds1492]

Bro. Just go with the one that’s completed. When some africans get the money you don’t know how long it will take them to complete the others. I kinda like the first one anyway. Another thing to consider about those water tanks being on the ground, having a third floor apartment will give you bad water pressure if they don’t have a pump that’s good as well as constant power to run the pump. Most african countries have plenty of space in their luxury apartments. You’ll love any one of those apartments as far as being spacious.
