Here are the most common mistakes people make while buying Land in Kenya;

1. Failing to secure a copy of the Original title deed from the seller: Remember this the way you will know the original owner of the Land, the acreage and whether the land is encumbered.

2. Failing to conduct an official search at the Land registry: This is the best way to know the status of the land. However most people skip this part.

3. Failing to do a land visit of the land they intend to buy: I know you have heard stories of people who have bought land that is full of rocks or does not even exist.

4. Failing to involve the right professionals in the land buying process.

5. Failing to do the necessary research or conduct due diligence:

Remember Leaseholds reverts back to the government after 99 years if it is not reapplied for by the original owner.

Ensure you do your research to avoid buying Land that has reverted back to the government.

6. Dealing with brokers instead of seeking out the actual land owners.

7. Assuming that sellers from the village or remote arrears cannot be cons: There is a reason 8 out of 10 people buying Land in Kenya get conned.

8. Paying the whole purchase price of the land from the beginning: There is a reason the law stipulates you pay 10%at the beginning then the rest in 90 days.

9. Hurrying the land Buying process: Again there is the reason the law gives a completion period of 90 days.

10. Failing to secure a spousal consent: A spousal consent is required both for obtaining a Land Control Board consent and transfer.

So ensure the spouse is in agreement with the transaction from the beginning. This is for married sellers of course.

CONCLUSION

for sale sign

Land Searches and inspection of the title, Preparation of offers and price negotiation, Sale agreement and deposit payment, Payment of land rates, Transfer documents and consent to the transfer, Payment of Stamp Duty, Registration of transfer, Exchange of documents, should always involved your most trusted lawyer(s) and a family person who is of trustworthy to you to help you throughout the entire process.

It will be more blessing if your kids or spouse(s) get involved too from the beginning. This will help to avoid try and errors which might be a life regrettable mistakes. Don’t be the next victim on the line.

No matter how the seller looks genuine or you have known him or her, just always know money and property knows no friendship or blood: it can be your dead wish too if mishandled.

15 TO WATCH/5 SPORTS TECH/POWER OF SPORTS 5: RICK HORROW’S TOP SPORTS/BIZ/TECH/PHILANTHROPY ISSUES FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 2

with Jamie Swimmer & Jesse Leeds Grant

The new MLB season is upon us, though this year the Los Angeles Dodgers did not hold the league’s biggest payroll on Opening Day. According to the Associated Press, the Boston Red Sox’ payroll of $223 million was enough to snap the Dodgers’ four-year run as the top spender in baseball. Prior to this year, the Red Sox had not had baseball’s largest payroll since at least 1990, “the earliest year figures compiled by MLB are available.” The San Francisco Giants ranked second at around $203 million, and the Chicago Cubs are third at about $183 million. Rounding out the top five are the Dodgers and Washington Nationals, each approximately spending $180 million. The New York Yankees, a club that is used to spending exorbitant amounts of cash on an annual basis, have their lowest payroll since 2003, spending only around $167 million. This marks the first time that the club has been ranked as low as seventh in spending since 1992.

Now that spring training is over, the economic impact should continue to flow with 15 teams in Florida and 15 teams in Arizona. As for Florida, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission recently sponsored an event called “Economic Impact of Baseball in Palm Beach County.” The event featured speakers including Pat O’Conner, President of Minor League Baseball; Brian Cooley, President, EVERFI Sports and Entertainment Group; Pat Rooney, Palm Beach County civic and business leader; Steve Salem, President, Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation; and George Linley, Executive Director, Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The economic impact of four teams in Palm Beach County, especially with the world champion Houston Astros, as well as two minor league baseball teams and over 30 amateur baseball teams last year means significant economic impact that other communities can emulate. This will be a big benchmark for other counties to follow, not only in Florida but in Arizona as well.

While a record 130 MLB players will be making at least $10 million this season, the league’s average salary only rose by 3% over last year. According to USA Today, the minimal rise in league-wide salaries can largely be attributed to a depressed market. The average salary currently sits at $4.61 million, compared to last year’s marker of $4.47 million. Only three players were awarded contracts north of $100 million this offseason, and only two players inked contracts longer than five years. Teams spent “$1.98 billion on 65 multi-year contracts this winter, compared to $2.98 billion on 57 deals a year ago, and $2.06 billion on 30 multiyear contracts in 2016.” One big motivation for clubs to decrease their spending was to get below the luxury tax line – set at $197 million. The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, last year’s top two spending teams, have cut more than $100 million payroll, putting them each more than $30 million below the tax line.

The 2018 Masters is imminent at Augusta National Golf Club – and it may be the most eagerly-anticipated Masters to date. Tiger Woods is making his return to the tournament as the favorite despite not having won a Major in over 3,500 days. If he comes out of the weekend victorious, the 42-year-old would become only the seventh person to win the tournament aged 40 or older, joining the like of Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus. According to WalletHub, last year’s ticket sales revenue was estimated to be valued at over $35 million. The Augusta Chronicle notes that Woods' place in the field "appears to be driving up the price of practice-round tickets and tournament badges on the secondary market." TickPick reports that Woods has "boosted the secondary-market price of a Thursday tournament badge to $3,653," a 77% increase from last year’s Thursday badge; according to the company, this year’s prices are the highest they’ve seen. StubHub is "listing four-day tournament badges for $9,900." While ticket prices remain incredibly expensive, one of the best aspects of The Masters is the cheap concessions. A domestic beer will only cost you $4.00, while an obligatory egg salad or pimento cheese sandwich will only set you back $1.50.

Tiger Woods was one of the most marketable athletes in the world before he lost major sponsorships with AT&T, Gatorade, and Gillette in the wake of his 2009 sex scandal. Will he get them back? Woods has also had struggled with injuries, and had his reputation take a further hit last year with an alleged DUI arrest. Companies still consider sponsoring Woods due to his universal name recognition. However, major sponsors are unlikely to capitalize on Tiger anytime soon. “We test him often, and there is still a very significant lack of trust and likability, in terms of the general population,” Matt Delzell, managing director of The Marketing Arm/Davie Brown Talent, told Fast Company. “It’s an interesting balance we don’t see with a lot of athletes, where people want to see him perform well because it adds excitement to the sport, even for casual golf fans. But no one is looking at these numbers and saying, ‘This is a guy I’ve got to attach my brand to.’ The numbers don’t justify that, especially the kind of money he’d be asking for.” One place where Woods continues to perform is Las Vegas. Per Golf.com, Vegas sportsbooks have had a golf-betting reawakening with Tiger’s reemergence. As of Sunday, he was a 9/1 favorite to win another green jacket.

While the jury is still out on whether Tiger Woods’ comeback will bring back the major new sponsor commitments of yesteryear, companies are eager to capitalize on his 2018 resurgence. Bridgestone Golf, a longtime Woods sponsor, will "start selling customized Tour B XS Tiger Woods Edition golf balls," and a "portion of the proceeds from the sale of the balls will go to the Tiger Woods Foundation," according to GolfWeek. Each ball is "stamped 'Tiger' on the side, just like the balls" Woods uses in competition. Likewise, Delta Air Lines is leveraging its sponsorship of The Masters with the launch of an "international-only media platform," which will include ads and social media ahead of this week’s event. Bizjournals.com notes this is Delta's first year as an "International Partner" of the tournament after the airline signed a multiyear deal in October. The new marketing campaign is "running in 11 countries across broadcast TV, digital, out-of-home and social media channels, with concentrated investments in London, Mexico City and Seoul." Delta’s deal was struck before Woods was ensured to be in the field, but the airline clearly will benefit by his presence, especially if he makes the cut.

Villanova and Michigan square off on Monday for the NCAA national championship. And the NCAA is likewise heading back to court, this time to argue over the amount that student athletes are allowed to be compensated financially. According to USA Today, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken set December 3 as a trial date for the pending lawsuits, which “seek to prevent the NCAA and a group of 11 major conferences from collectively confining athletes to receiving scholarships covering tuition, fees, room, board, books, and incidental costs of attending college.” The plaintiffs in the case have proposed that limits of compensation for athletes should be set on a conference-by-conference basis instead of nationally, as well that athletes “be allowed to receive all manner of benefits above the cost of attendance that are related to education and/or are incidental to their participation in their sports.” Judge Wilken, the ruling judge in the case, is the same official who oversaw the Ed O’Bannon antitrust trial the last few years, so she is well-versed with the NCAA.

Multiple European countries are preparing a potential bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics. According to Reuters, Milan and Turin will be teaming up for one bid, while Barcelona and the Pyrenees mountains might work together on another. The International Olympic Committee’s new bidding process allows for Games to be spread over bigger areas, making both of these bids logistically possible, though “the competition can only be named after one city.” Italy’s bid most likely will call for the ceremonies and some events to be held in Milan, while others will be staged at venues built for the Turin 2006 Olympics. Meanwhile, Spain’s potential bid would be used to promote peace between Catalonia and Spain. “The Olympics brought together in the most recent Games the two Koreas; now it can help us (Catalonia and Spain) return to working together,” said Catalan Sports Secretary General Gerard Figueras. “Sport is capable of carrying out initiatives that are beneficial to the whole world.” Games officials are closely watching the awarding of the 2026 World Cup, where the joint North American bid may prevail and influence other decisions.

The price of building the new Los Angeles NFL stadium and the surrounding development area continues to balloon, now reaching nearly $5 billion. According to the Los Angeles Times, the stadium alone was originally projected to cost $2.6 billion, but that has since risen to nearly $3 billion, while the other developments have risen in cost as well. NFL owners approved raising the debt waiver up to $4.963 billion, allowing the Rams and Chargers to continue with their construction plans; neither franchise has provided a specific number as to what the stadium will cost, though. The first phase of the local development project includes the stadium, the “neighboring 6,000-seat performance venue, the 200,000 square feet of office space for NFL media, the parking lots surrounding the stadium, and the cost of the entire 300-acre parcel.” The first phase is expected to be finished by 2020, with phases two, three, and four coming in later years. Because this site includes space for a de facto NFL West headquarters, the league is more likely to rubber-stamp cost increases that would normally draw major scrutiny and angst.

10.High school basketball players skipping college to join the G League could become a lot more common following McDonald’s All-American and Syracuse commit Darius Bazley’s decision to do so. According to Yahoo Sports, Bazley’s decision to forgo college came down to him thinking that he would get more out of the G League than he would by playing in Europe or at Syracuse. Bazley will be able to officially sign with a G League team when he turns 18 in June. If ultimately selected toward the top of the class in the 2019 NBA draft, Bazley could serve “as a trailblazer for the future of the sport,” especially with the ongoing NCAA scandal and the imminent shakeup of the current system. “The G League will have the most to offer, considering that is the development league for the NBA,” said Bazley. “I will get more out of that than going overseas.” This is only the tip of the hardwood iceberg – look for many more marquee players to follow in Bazley’s large and well-compensated footsteps.

11.The 2018 World Cup in Russia is less than 100 days away, and the excitement is beginning to build around the world. According to The Drum, a new research study from GlobalWebIndex showed than nearly half of the world’s online population plans to tune into this summer’s tournament. As part of the study, the company surveyed 80,267 people from over 40 leading markets around the world. The findings show that 47% of the online population plans to watch the 2018 World Cup, with 55% of male internet users expected to watch either online or on TV. Comparatively, just over one-third (37%) of female internet users polled noted that they would tune in at some point. The World Cup “holds a significantly greater appeal than that of the Premier League (25%).” Viewers in Europe that were polled said that the apps they are most likely to use are YouTube (90%), Facebook (76%), WhatsApp (65%), Facebook Messenger (49%), Instagram (48%) and Twitter (39%). Even without a U.S. squad in contention this year, expect, huge viewership on TV and online in the U.S. as well.

Investing in professional sports leagues is more than just fun and games for corporate sponsors, it is serious business. During last year’s MLB All-Star break, SportsETFs launched a Pro Sports Sponsors Index. The fund (FANZ) is composed solely of companies that are official sponsors of the four major sports leagues in North America (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL), with 67 companies currently part of it. Since the fund’s July 11, 2017, launch date, it has been on par with or above the S&P 500; the fund was even back-tested against the index since 2005 and outperformed it by 130%. “If you look at the companies that partner with the league, they are typically blue-chip companies that still want to grow, so, they’ve got a growth component but they’ve also got a value component in that they have enough free cash flow to earmark a big chunk of their marketing budget to sports,” said founder Nick Fullerton. The widespread interest in esports teams will only accelerate this sports investment trend.

13.NeuLion has been acquired by Endeavor in a deal valued at $250 million. According to SportsVideo.org, NeuLion, the digital video and streaming powerhouse, is one of the leaders in the industry, having worked directly with major partners across the globe like the NFL, NBA, EFL, UFC, Big Ten Network, and Sky Sports, just to name a few. Endeavor is the parent company of UFC and was looking to expand its role in the streaming of sports, entertainment, and fashion before making the all-cash purchase. “Through our content portfolio, client base, and broader network of rightsholders, we’ve encountered many different platforms for distributing and monetizing content,” Endeavor CEO Ariel Emanuel said in an official release. “NeuLion provides an ideal combination of technology and client services, and we’re excited for the value this brings to our existing partners and the foundation it provides for our future digital growth.” As Endeavor continues to grow, it only makes sense that it will continue to build out its infrastructure and digital platforms to house its booming content.

14.While a majority of NBA players ultimately end up in some sort of financial trouble years after retirement, Shaquille O’Neal is trying to flip that script. According to JohnWallStreet, Shaq is making more money today that he ever did in a year while he was playing. Over the course of his NBA career, Shaq made $292 million in on-court earnings, with the most he earned in a year being $30 million in salary. Today, the two-time All American from LSU and legendary big man is the sixth highest paid retired athlete, following the likes of Michael Jordan, Arnold Palmer, and David Beckham. Since retiring in 2011, “his single largest payday occurred in December 2015 when he sold 51% of all future business endeavors (not including his broadcasting contract with Turner Sports or his minority investment in the Sacramento Kings), providing him with between $230-$270 million in cash. As Shaq’s son Shareef gets ready to suit up for UCLA next season, he will be looking to follow in his father’s footsteps on and off the court.

Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings was recently in Austin for SXSW to officially launch her p1440 beach volleyball event series, which consists of a series of "volleyball-a-palooza-style festivals, complete with top-level competition, a health and wellness village, personal development experiences and a music festival," according to the Austin American-Stateman. Eight events are planned for the 2018-2019 season, starting with a "festival in Chicago in September and followed by events in the San Jose Bay Area, San Diego and Huntington Beach." A digital component of p1440, where "users can get training tips, stream volleyball matches and workouts...and chat with others, will launch this summer, too." The goal is to "attract between 20,000 and 30,000 people to each three-day event and 4 million to the online platform" by 2021. Walsh Jennings, who split from the AVP in February, said, "We believe we will attract new eyeballs to sport. We’re not a small undertaking.” Walsh Jennings’ dispute with the AVP centered on exclusivity, a provision in the player’s agreement prohibiting them from competing professionally in any other U.S. tournaments. With just eight tournaments per year on offer by the AVP, she not only felt this was unreasonable, she created a workable alternative for pro volleyball players.

Tech Top 5

U.S. Soccer announces $1.5 billion deal with STATSports. The U.S. Soccer Federation has hired Irish wearables company STATSports to provide monitoring devices for its four million registered soccer players in the United States. Valued at over $1.5 billion, U.S. Soccer and STATSports say the partnership will result in the world’s largest player data monitoring program, which will help identify future soccer stars in the U.S., as well as giving players at all levels across the country access to the performance technology used by top professionals and teams around the world. STATSports’ software will allow U.S. coaches to analyze each player’s individual response to training sessions and games through real-time feedback. This will also reduce the chances of players’ under-training or suffering injuries from over-training. The technology will be rolled out across all of U.S. Soccer’s national teams, while it will also be deployed in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), as well as across youth national teams and development academy clubs. As well as US Soccer, STATSports also has partnerships with the NFL, NHL, and a number of clubs from the Premier League.

MLB.TV set to launch Catch Up feature for game streams. MLB’s Advanced Media is working on a “Catch Up” feature to help fans joining a broadcast in progress to quickly review the action they missed. If a MLB.TV subscriber logs into the livestream of a game in the fourth inning, the app can play a reel of the key moments from the start of the game. “Regardless that you’re an hour late, you are feeling such as you received the highlights, you’re on top of things,” MLB’s government vice chairman for technique, know-how and innovation Chris Marinak stated. Catch Up will launch first for Apple TV and supported units however, will transfer to different platforms in time. The spotlight choice is automated, with an algorithm powering a “fascinating index” worth that ranks performs by their impression on Win Chance. Marinak additionally described a collection of “incremental enhancements” to the At Bat app, together with an improved video participant, higher navigation, and improved voice recognition along with Catch Up for MLB.TV.

Gatorade tackles dehydration with VR. Gatorade’s “Beat The Blitz” digital actuality simulation encourages younger athletes to study hydration and efficiency. Gatorade has provided a new brand new strategy to entertain while educating athletes about correct hydration. The beverage firm unveiled its new “Beat The Blitz” VR recreation that includes former NFL All-Professional and Tremendous Bowl champion, Peyton Manning. “I look just a little youthful in 3D,” said Manning in a recently launched Gatorade video. “Beat The Blitz” has fans taking hydration recommendations from Manning while throwing passes at targets and avoiding would-be tacklers. The recreation was developed by ZeroCode together with assist from The Mill, OMD, and VML. “Beat The Blitz” debuted at SXSW and the NFL Mix in Indianapolis. Through its activation, Gatorade is encouraging younger athletes to look at the significance of hydration on athletic efficiency.

Turner Sports is launching ‘”B/R Live.” Turner Sports will launch a streaming over-the-top video service in April called B/R Live. B/R Live, named for Turner’s Bleacher Report, will include live games from the NBA, UEFA, World Arm Wrestling, PGA Championship, and National Lacrosse League, among others. "When we acquired B/R six years ago, we imagined a time when the brand could become a virtual network in its own right, and that time is now," said Turner President David Levy at a press event at Bleacher Report's New York office. Turner also hopes it will serve as a hub for sports fans. If it is on a Turner network, users will be able to watch live in the app; if on a competitor, it will link to its app. B/R Live will be free at launch. Later in the summer, the company will roll out a paywall, letting users pay for individual games, or a subscription for broader access to games. It will launch on the web and on mobile at first, with apps on connected TV devices launching later in the summer. Advertisers will be able to buy ad space on Turner’s linear channels, and the same space on the in-app stream. In addition, sponsors will be able to buy out the whole app, sponsor the free preview stream of live events, or even sponsor entire events, making them free to users.

NBA to sell parts of games with micropayments. NBA fans will be able to buy the right to see parts of non-national TV games for a small fee, the league and its digital partner Turner Sports announced last week. The offering is set to begin in the 2018-19 season. The league and Turner began offering League Pass games on an individual basis for $6.99, but Tuesday's announcement signals the first time a major sports league is offering fans the chance to buy parts of games. Sources said that the league will continue to experiment by offering fans various fees to see a certain percentage of a game. The offering could be dependent on a close game in an important matchup down the stretch, a team making an epic comeback, or a player in the midst of setting a record. The new offering won't change what has been offered in the past. Fans can still get a certain team's games for the season and continue to pay $6.99 individually for games that intrigue them. Fear of cannibalizing the NBA League Pass revenue had once seemed to make it harder to sell fans slices of games. But younger fans are used to making micropayments and buying things on impulse, especially when notices pop up in their social feeds.

Dodgers donate $2 million to Puerto Rico. Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner and chairman Mark Walter says the team is donating $2 million to support rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico after last year’s devastation caused by Hurricane Maria. Walter announced the donation to Habitat for Humanity of Puerto Rico last Tuesday. Infielder-outfielder Kike Hernandez and his fiancee Mariana Vicente selected the charity and added over $225,000 earned through their fundraisers. The donation will go toward rehabilitating and reconstructing damaged homes in Humacao, Santa Isabel, Ponce, Patillas, and Arroyo, and constructing new housing in Guayama. According to government estimates, the hurricane severely damaged or destroyed more than a third of the island’s 1.2 million occupied homes, and more than 60,000 new homes need to be constructed.

Kevin Durant is the frontrunner for NBA citizenship award. Kevin Durant’s commitment to the community over the last year has made him the frontrunner for the 2017-2018 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. Named after the NBA’s second commissioner, the Citizenship Award is given by the Professional Basketball Writers Association to “a player, coach or athletic trainer who demonstrates outstanding service and dedication to the community.” Through the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation, Durant has surpassed the criteria listed to win the award. The Kevin Durant Charity Foundation aims to enrich the lives of at-risk youth from low-income backgrounds through educational, athletic, and social programs. The foundation made a 10-year, $10 million commitment to bring College Track’s college completion program to Durant’s hometown in Maryland, creating The Durant Center, a new state-of-the-art educational and leadership facility. “Build It and They Will Ball,” the foundation’s flagship program, has built or renovated 14 courts in four countries. Durant also announced a $3 million donation to the University of Texas’ basketball programs and the school’s Center for Sports Leadership & Innovation, and contributed $10,000 to Colin Kaepernick’s “10 for 10” campaign.

Cleveland Indians pitcher to donate $420.69 a day for 69 days.
