This seminar is designed for beginning investors, but we will also be covering topics relevant to more advanced investors, including: the process of buying a property in Japan, financing options, Japan’s ultra-low interest rate environment, how to find a target property, and special considerations for investing during the COVID pandemic.
Topics we will be discussing:
- How your residency status can affect the financing terms you’ll be offered
- Which banks offer financing to non-Japanese buyers
- How property prices and rent levels have been changing in the Japanese real estate market
- How interest rates have been changing in Japan
- How to target suitable properties (supply and demand approach)
- Investing in a single unit vs whole building (pros and cons)
- Why it is important to check the repair reserve fund before purchasing
- Why it is important to use a guarantor company as an owner
- How to purchase property in Japan
