Amazing video. I am about to invest in Nagoya. Trying to find an apartment around Nagoya station, so it would be easier to sell in case I need to. Do you have any knowledge about Nagoya market? I can only afford apartments in buildings older than 1981. Is it too bad??

Would someone be able to buy property in Japan with something like a LLC? I notice people in the United States do that for safety and legal reasons. That way if something happens, the LLC can go bankrupt and not affect the actual person. I don't know how that would work in japan though.

Hello Christopher, thank for your quick reply...
According to your knowledge what would be the minimum required to buy something similar of your previous purchase?
Would you recommend to buy Japanese land within 20 minutes walk from station?
Do you offer your service to setup turnkey deal in Japan Tokyo ?
Again thanks for your answers! -
Hello Christopher
Is the price for housing in Tokyo still the same in 2016?
Is there any regulation in regards to the increase of the price of the rent?
Based on the example you gave at the end of your video, what would be the value of the building and your monthly expense in 2016.
Thank you -
Hello Christopher. Is it possible to set up a financial trust in Japan. I know in South Africa you can do that. I am planning to move from SA to JPN and I want to set up a Financial Trust. Just to make it clear what I mean with a trust (DEFINITION of 'Trust' A fiduciary relationship in which one party, known as a trustor, gives another party, the trustee, the right to hold title to property or assets for the benefit of a third party, the beneficiary.)

Hi Christopher,
what is the annual property tax for a condo? -
Can you sublet or use airbnb and or it's Japanese equivalent in Japan?

Hi, great video! I've been going to Japan each year about for five years now. I live in Hawaii USA and looking to buy a place to invest in just like the one you bought. I'm looking to buy for $30,000 - $50,000 USD. I figure since I will pay cash I will break even after 5-8 years. I have found lots of places in Tokyo ward. A few are 15 minutes from a station, so maybe a bit far. I lok to invest in 2015. Do you feel that if I break even within ten years and then use it as a second home I can sell 20 years from now a make a profit? My goal is mixed use. Rent, use then sell. My concern is will a condo built 1970 be okay to live in 2025? I guess if not then your bought out to build a new condo or buy a new unit on that land.

Maybe if japan legalized recreational cannabis and revitalized traditional hemp farming, country side real estate would go up and their national debt would shrink drastically.
