Depends on future saleability in terms if investment? Population declining, largely overbuilt, real key is ability to integrate foreigners to create demand for hidden inventory still existent from 3 to 4 decades ago. Terminal demography requires immigrants.

Lived in Japan from 88 to 1992 and prices were high. Sad to see that Japan stagnated economically for 30+ years and has been humbled down by economic issues that I can’t fully understand. When I left, they owned tons of properties in Hawaï

I have read that taxes are 20.42% monthly and this drops massively the yield which is not even close to 1% or 12% yearly. Any thoughts on that?

Do you recommend buying a house in the big city area like around Tokyo?

Great investment

How much the cost of Alex house

Great house and location, Congratz Alex.

12% yield is great

Love the house. I have a close Japanese friend living in Yokohama while I live in Perth Australia. I am considering buying a place in Yokohama. I have done your course to get a better understanding of Japanese real estate. My biggest frustration at the moment is transferring money to her account in Japan. Wise is great but Swift transfers can not be done.

Hamamatsu has an increasing population, but is not really that near tokyo.. just curious what your opinion is of this city?

i’m thinking to buy a property worth around 1.2 million, roughly how much is going to cost me adding all the taxes and the commissions? thank you so much

Did he buy the house and the land or just the house?

He mentioned that 10 million yen including renovation. Could you make a video explaining that? Did the owner of the place own a renovation company? Or how does that work when they mention including renovation?

Nice price and nice house. This is great for own stay. However, I personally think the 1% rental yield is really not worth the trouble of buying a property for rental especially one that will not see any capital appreciation in the forseeable future. One can easily get a much higher yield by investing in low risk instruments like treasury bills/ fixed deposits in other foreign currencies.

Personally I think buying and fixing up your own house is great in Japan. I wouldn't want to deal with tenants or home structural issues long term considering that sometimes these homes have ongoing issues that the initial cosmetic renovations don't address. I think if you have a source of income in USD that you can then convert into Yen and then into real estate you start off on the right food and Japanese rental homes become a nice little income source though, again, getting paid in Yen is not really good. These sort of projects are for people who already make foreign currency and have extra money to throw at Akiya homes. In fact I wouldn't doubt that in the future these KZreadr Akiya builders make more money selling courses about how to invest in fixing up Akiya's than in what they make in rental income from dozens of Akiya homes. Not to mention their courses would be sold in strong foreign currencies like USD. There are much better ways to invest your capital than in Japanese real estate BUT if you want a home for yourself or you don't mind the horrendous return on capital (paid in yen) then sure go for it. I'd rather buy one for my own personal residence and then rent it out via Air BNB when not in the country.

@@metaparcel Precisely this. Shumatsuopost makes the bulk of his money from the courses and consulting services ($8K+ USD just to start!). If you are doing this to live in/ vacation home with your foreign currency - then sure, it is a great proposition. As a longterm rental investment, it is horrible with the decreasing yen, increasing supply, home depreciation, and decreasing JPN population. If you check the math, it is ~10 years avg to breakeven on your capital investment. US Treasury bonds are 5% atm.

Until the bottom of the market falls out and you urgently need that money. It happened. 🤷🏻‍♂️ many times. For me, no more “investments” where I rely on the “mercy” of the markets and market manipulation. It’s like a gamble.

Does he own the land too?

I believe that the Japanese population is consolidating. Many other countries are going through the same thing. There is always opportunity in those areas! Yes, some areas are down but some are UP!

Is it really a good investment for 50K? After all you’re taxed on rental income it’ll take at least 10-12 years to earn your money back. Versus if you invest $50k and into index funds that’ll grow to $115K on average after 10 years and with the right account you’ll pay minimum tax.

A major difference between real estate and brokerages are that the only loans you’ll ever get are for marginable securities. You can’t take a margin loan in your IRA. But you can leverage a bank to give you 80% of your required capital while you can still charge rent that reflects 100% equity in the real estate. Stock markets, bond markets, and real estate all play crucial but different roles.

Is it really possible to rent it for 100K yen monthly??

$60k all in for a house in yokohama is a great deal. But ROI is really so slow. Rental will be 100000yen a month even in yokohama. Yen is worthless.
