1982 is the magic number. Houses/apartments before this yr are constructed differently as there was different earthquake protection regulations. There are a few cities to look at in Japan, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya. There are places to buy within Tokyo - and it is a misperception that tokyo is expensive. Even in the 5 central wards of Tokyo - there are still affordable properties. And yes, japan properties can be cheaper than HDB flats.

You did not ask about the returns?

Can foreigners buy landed in Japan？

Earthquake is a big concern .

My bro knows percent and IR, pretty sure he can speak English too hahaha, never know Osaka is a place for investment... Real estate is tricky, cash only is risky tho. Thanks for sharing!

おはよう Aaron san! Actually, Osaka is a developed city, as long they are within the city district. Homes get cheaper outside of the city area. Perhaps you can also cover some Akiya houses that are really hot in the foreign buyers property market! Some notes on Japanese property - they usually calculate in LDKs, which are the number of tatami maps the room can fit in. - Be weary of Air BnB; Japan has strict rules on rubbish segregation and noise. As Air BnB, your clients may not obey these rules, and thus causing huge issues with the neighbours. - Japan usually does not have en-suite toilets to the rooms ~ - In Japan, one is required to wash yourself before soaking in the tub, either in PTE or in the onsen/ setto. Hence the habbit is culitvated from young - Japan houses usually gets bigger the further you get away from the city. These houses are usually not near any train stations as well. - Minimarts in Japan has EVERYTHING, hence so long one is near the minimarts, groceries are covered

Need to factor in the maintainence cost

My case is developer accepted my application based on Salary submission, paid 5% down for option with developer, but HDB reject adding bonus to calculate salary as I am self-employed. Is there a chance I apply again next year, after I adjust my salary and bonus down?

Good video. Thanks for sharing. Any similar video on reno tips for condo?

Good video

Totally agree with you on your sharing! I was anticipating your decisison while i was watching your video and am happy to know we share the same thoughts on what to change and what can be saved. one fully renovated toilet can cost up to 12k, tiles water-proofing all in, without the toilet bowls and basins. Windows can consider to change if previous owner did not clean it nicely... I think most people will not want to have a dirty window and frame especially around the hard to reach areas. If owners are planning to re-sell later, do consider sticking to basic and calm colours and avoid extensive customisation such as knocking down walls as most people like to have a standard unit for their own design. Great video Aaron! Love it!

Existing tiles also dont need to hack right? Can put in new tiles over it if want to

Carpentry can keep, just change the door or laminate will be cheaper and to your own likt

Great sharing.

Thanks for sharing

When its new, looks ok. After 5 yrs the condominium will look like shit. Maintenance in JB is very bad

Finally understand this. Had a hard time understand as not many agent can explain well. Thanks for explaining.

After successfully getting a unit based on DPS, how many months before developer completion date should we sell existing hdb?

Thanks for the insight, learn a lot. Should have met you earlier for Copen EC

12:50 $290,000 is 20% of the PURCHASE PRICE, not "20% of the DOWNPAYMENT".

What's the expected launch price psf?

How to ensure your number get balloted, difficult lah

Hi Aaron, check with you, how can we know the new launch of the EC? they are not like HDB BTO every quarterly got 1 launch... EC are different right? Where can we view the new launch EC? Thanks.

If married will have to use both names for ec right ? Cannot use 1 name right ?

What if wife is 34 years old and husband is 40 years. Can the loan tenure still be 30 years ?

Hi ❤

To protect the next gen of homeowners, the prime and plus is definitely the way to go. And I hope moving forward, HDB will slap the prime and plus label on more BTOs and also those under SERS. Controlling the HDB resale market will inadvertently control / stabilize the private property prices.

well preferred. thanks

EC leh? is EC slightly cheaper than Condo?

so how many % is money oriented type?

Thanks Aaron , finally I meet you share the property cycle

Nobody want to buy depreciating assets. Prices already stabilising so better buy when u can before the prices go up

Please make MOP 10 yr rule and clawback for all house type BTO.

Prices please Fall Fall Fall Fall. I want affordable houses again. I am trying some black magic to make it happen 💀

The first BTO needs to wait 10 years before selling. The buyer who bought from them will still subject to another 10 years. By the time, the second buyer decided to sell, the property is already 2 decades old

U saying govt pump supply this few years. Next 8 to 15 years there will be a supply > demand situation and. It will become a buyers market again. Maybe price will drop

seems like people are ok with the 10yr MOP, people will still apply if mop become 15yrs

Prime and Plus cannot rent out whole house even after MOP meant for staying only.

2009 no global warming yet ma wear jacket ok 2038 dun even know who gonna b the gahmen with all so many scandals going

How is it now after 2 yrs !!

when the after video coming out?

Would it be likely that with this new classification, standard flats become more lucrative with more capital gains such that in the long run, the resale price of newly MOP standard flats are higher than plus and prime flats?

Yes it's crazy dress in jacket mad

Ok I like u videos

What Bluetooth headset are you using?

private property owners how to exit?

Good eh if this discourages demand then prices will moderate, keeping choice location hdbs affordable (?)

Oh my I just saw one important point! Need at least ONE SINGAPOREAN CITIZEN! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHO1l3iXbs14n6csi=Airlghh4pnjqVjBQ I explained my views in the video above.
