Real Estate Japan Inc. is pleased to present the newest installment in our series of investment seminars for foreigners who are interested in taking the first step in Japanese real estate investment: whether with traditional single-unit and whole building or AirBnB-style vacation rentals.

In this seminar we will be discussing the whole range of residential and vacation-style investment properties.

We will be discussing the following topics and more:

  • How your residency status can significantly change the financing terms that Japanese banks will offer
  • Getting mid-risk, mid-level returns by targeting properties with specific criteria that have proven to perform.
  • Three big macro-economic and policy shifts that will cause the more properties to come online after 2020.
  • Historic price data and price projections showing how residential property prices are on a declining trend and what to do about it.
  • Upcoming changes to the earthquake-resistance building code and how this might affect your choice of property.
  • As an owner, why you should use a guarantor company to manage tenant-related risks
  • The importance of actually viewing a property (even when you can’t enter the property) and what to look for.
  • Which banks lend to non-Japanese borrowers in Japan.
  • How to invest in Airbnb-style properties to achieve much higher than average yields. More specifically, how can you achieve a 24% yield from investing in Airbnb-style rentals, vacation properties and hotels?
  • Market overview of the hotel and Airbnb (vacation rental) industries
  • How to manage Airbnb-style properties
  • Case studies

AirBnB Investments are by Cash-only

One important thing to note is that Airbnb-style property investment is only possible if you are an all-cash buyer. Japanese banks are not able to offer loans for this type of investment property because of appraisal issues.

How to get preferential financing for other types of investment

For other types of property investment, your residency status (visa status) significantly affects the financing terms you will qualify for.
