    Is 2024 the BEST or WORST time to buy a property in Japan?

      If I purchase a rental property in Japan, under my Australian business and the rental income goes into my Australian bank account, therefore I will be taxed under Australian taxation system, do I still pay taxes to Japan as well?

    10% vacant houses. That's amazing. Decreasing population is a very tricky problem. You're counting on metro areas to keep attracting more people. And wanting to rent a SFRs over a less costly apt.
    Capital outlay is very low, but exit strategies that are profitable seem very limited.

    And also the benefit of more single family houses popping up on the market whether they are owned by natives or foreigners is the simple fact that people who are planning to start families have more options and less headaches when it comes to planning their lives and feeling more secure and hopeful finding a home. Because if there are just less and less options out there it effects peoples decisions and life planning where they postpone plans due to scarcity or insecurities and with less options on the market prices will be higher discouraging new families from looking for homes.
    This Akiya boom has really been good for population growth in a small way as more homes become available and in very attractive locations as well as most Akiya buyers do their research and invest in locations where families have support and convenience to support their lifestyle and growing families like schools, daycares, markets, healthcare, transportation etc.
    This Akiya business and the decision by the Japanese to allow all kinds of people from across the world with vision and means to improve living conditions in Japan is a really really good move by the Japanese.

    Aloha Shu! I’ve watched this video twice in a row. Once for an overview and a second time to take notes. It’s the last statement of yours that got me thinking. If SFHs are easier to sell then why is 1 out of every 10 homes empty? Especially if 70% of them are usable. If the demand is high then why are they empty? Thoughts? Also, keep these videos coming! I’d love to get into Japan REI as my market is crazy for a beginner.

      I live in Tokyo. Most of these so called "bargains" are in isolated areas where jobs are 1.5 - 3 hour drive away. The fact that the Japanese themselves, despite very low mortgage rates, are not snapping these Akiyas up should tell you quite a lot.

    • @ibarocky
      @ibarocky หลายเดือนก่อน

      Your question is spot on. Demand for single family home rentals is not high in Japan. Most Japanese families have 1 or 2 kids on average. So they will rather rent condo unit instead of renting a stand alone home. Just doesn't make sense for Japanese families to rent out single family homes. If they had the money to rent out single family homes, they would rather rent condo closer to city center

    I was right onboard two weeks ago but the earthquake and tsunami scare gave me cold feet. What areas are safest?

    • @UnbreakableM1nd
      @UnbreakableM1nd 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      No area is safe. Japan is very mountainous, and the flat areas are already built up significantly. There are a lot of secondary effects from earthquakes such as liquefaction which can turn the ground under your house to mush, and your foundation will sink. Also having a house structurally survive an earthquake doesn't mean it will be inhabitable after the event. Gas, water, and electrical lines maybe broken. The doors and windows may not work or fit properly afterwards. I don't recommend getting Akiya houses, just too much risk.

  • @lukehan451

    I encourage only buying to hold rather than to become a real-estate investor/kiyosaki.
    I own 2 akiyas and I don't believe they'll be wroth much in the future. Japan doesn't really have a bright future for many reasons.
    But I am investing in other remote south eastern Asian countries. It's a slow bleeding death

    Very Interesting information. The market in japan seems a complex market. But with your guidence and wxperience it should make it a fairly straightforward process. So inorder for me to understand this after watching this video and your other video with Colin from kickasset i get the distinct impression you are focusing on cashflow rather than capital growth. Which is what the canadian and australian market is all about. Whilst there is still capital growth rather albeit in minute increments the capital growth in Australia and canada would be collosal in comparison. Would you say that would be a fair statement ? So I am concluding ( please jump in if I'm wrong) that you and many investestors are global investors and if this is the case you will become poorer over time investing in japan with no serious capital growth on your investment where as comparison in the USA canada and australia also london prices will become stratospheric and even if you sellout in japan you would be lucky to buy a studio apartment. Would you agree with this statement. Looking back over historical records Tokyo 20 to 25 years ago was one of the most expensive cities in the world for property fast forward to today australia canada usa and uk capital cities have outstripped tokyo in capital growth.
    So was your move in to the market more a FOMO, (fear of missing out)?
    Love you videos and hope to oneday meet you for a good discussion.

    Don’t live in Japan
    As much as it’s ‘easy’ to buy. As foreigners there are so many considerations that are rarely covered in such videos
    Why buy in a place where you can’t live and you can only rent out your property for so many months a year
