Kampala–Wakiso vacancy cycled 8–12% in 2025; Entebbe gated blocks held yield. Bara's 2,400+ projects and 580+ vendors provide field data for this analysis. Regional nuance: UG/KE/TZ code profiles and supply chains differ, but Bara encodes them as constants with Firestore overrides.
How Bara + Treenant solve it
How Bara + Treenant work together — Tenant view
- Invite a tenant to a Unit → tenant accepts → Tenancy starts.
- Every payment is a Ledger entry: *Due → Proof submitted → Verified → Balance updated*.
- Tenant pays in Treenant via Mobile Money; owner verifies in Bara — both see the same status.
- Receipts and portfolio update automatically.

Step-by-step workflow
1. Create — property/project or tenancy in `app.bara.ink` or Bara Owner App. 2. Configure — NRM2 units, code profile, billingCycle, currency (UGX default), blocks/units. 3. Execute — marketplace procurement or ledger proof submission via Treenant Mobile Money (MoMo Mobile Money). 4. Reconcile — BOQ vs actuals or portfolio snapshot recomputed; export PDF/Excel via `jspdf` + `xlsx`.
