Before posting, search the forum to see if your question has already been answered. You can also reply to your own question if you find the solution.

Please avoid overly subjective or off-topic questions that don’t align with the community's purpose.

To keep the forum useful and relevant, ensure your questions contribute to meaningful discussions and provide clear, actionable insights. Avoid the following types of questions, as they may be flagged or removed:

• Off-topic or unrelated discussions (e.g., "What's the best restaurant in Nairobi?")
• Spam or promotional content (e.g., "Check out my rental listing, DM me!")
• Misleading or vague questions that lack enough detail to answer properly (e.g., "How do I find a house?" without specifying location, budget, or needs)
• Duplicate questions—before posting, search the forum to see if a similar question has already been answered.
• Questions meant to incite arguments or controversy (e.g., "Why are all landlords greedy?")

If your question seeks real estate advice, experiences, or insights, you're in the right place. Just ensure it's clear, specific, and relevant to the community!
