This one is about $2,300,000. Not the expected return I would imagine. Though I favor this sort of property, Ocean Villas (abutting neighborhood) is a much more lively community, and would be my preferred choice.

Thank you much, Ms. Amy! 🤗 Vietnam is looking forward to having you visit. 🇻🇳❤️

🤔 Hmmm. Wondering if that is a good thing, or a bad thing? 😂 Thanks for the interview, ma’am.

Thank you for your continued support, Mr. R! I really appreciate it. These street interviews are fun. Hope to add in more with more personal questions about traveling. ❤️

Very cool people, bro. 😎 Even talented, well-traveled artists. 💪

😂 Thank you, Tommy! I try. And my pronunciation still needs a lot of work. I appreciate your kind words.

Thank you for watching, my friend! This was a fun video to do. I mean - talking is what I do. So. 😂

Yooo! Mr. KZbin in the comments. 💪😎 Thanks for watching, bro.

Da Nang is waiting for you, Ms. Julee! ❤

Without question! 😍

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it. You know, the shorter you stay, the more expensive everything becomes. However, if you live there, prices begin to normalize. I would say it’s roughly 1/3 the cost of living in an equivalent city in the US. Stay tuned - next month I begin touring more properties in Tokyo, and cover aspects of living there, full-time.

Couldn’t agree more. Not how I envision buying a property. However, a well-informed Vietnamese friend of mine says he was not told of the 10-year requirement, instead saying he could move in once the property was completed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@BudCowmen vietnamese law is not clear-cut when it comes to foreigner ownership. As long as renting is cheaper than owning there's no reason to buy especially with no long-term visas.

@@yamuiemata This 100x. I really see no reason to buy, at this point. Rent is affordable, relative to your currency. And there is plenty of availability. And, of course, the lack of long-term visa, as you have mentioned.

We have aircon in every room of the apartment. Not central, but mini-splits allow us to change the temps in each room. Works wonderfully.

That’s right! If you hit the minimum spend, which is like $35, you don’t pay taxes. Just show your passport. So bring it everywhere, if you intend to shop. 🤑

Honestly, not sure. I’m just placating to the naysayers that are always like “my 4-star hotel was only $70/night.” 😂 Possibly. We’ve rarely seen good hotels less than $130-150/night. At that point, might as rent an apartment for the month. 💪😎

This is an incredible thing to share. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. 🤗 I’m a bit older, and didn’t begin making vids until last year. So I have no idea what I’m doing. 😂 Nobody watches them. They do watch my TikTok, though! I took your suggestion and renamed the video. Again, thank you for the advice! I’m glad you were resilient and kept digging down. I’ll make one here in Da Nang, Vietnam, just for you. Thanks, man. You’ve given me new energy. 💪😎

Ok! Can you invite me over for a pool day, please? 🙌

@@BudCowmen okay, step into my dreams...

@@vindow2909 😂🤣

Shibuya Station! You can also walk to Shinsen, if you are heading west. It would save you a bit of headache. Otherwise, Shibuya is 6 blocks from the apartment. Do note, since publication, this apartment has significantly increased in price and popularity. You can view different pricing at ModernLivingJapan.com.

At time of publication, it was $3700/mo. Not too terrible. Since then, I have seen better apartments, at better price points. However, AtInn.JP makes it very easy to rent and move-in. Very little hassle, unlike many other serviced apartment agencies. So, seems worth it, IMO.

At the time of posting this video, the price was $3700/mo. 😮 But, do keep in mind this is a serviced apartment. Meaning, you move in for a month, you leave. No longterm lease. Stay for 2 months, whatever. About the same price as a hotel, but with a kitchen, laundry, and no tourists in your living room. 😂

Totally agree. Incredibly cozy. At night, when the weather is cooler, we open the sliding doors and just chill on the couch. Feels like we’re the only people in the planet. Thanks for watching, my friend! 🤗

❤️🇻🇳☕️

Agreed. What a trip that was to hear. A Nobu timeshare?! No thanks. 😂 Especially since there so much undeveloped land along the beach. Even next door! In 10 years, there will be newer, nicer buildings. Won’t want to move in, at that point.

You're telling me. 😂 Not a chance just so I can say I live at Nobu. I could do a 10-year rental for $120k and put $540k in a money market account drawing 5% and make $270k on the low, plus compound interest.

Agreed. Seems a bit without merit as there are certainly more accommodating properties.

I share this sentiment. Fusion Resorts & Villas, even with the further location, would be a simple choice, by comparison.

Would print money as a dog influencer! 🤑

Hey, my friend! Thanks for watching. 🤗

We absolutely, without question, overpay. So your thinking is correct. But we didn’t even second-guess the rate. After 2 months of searching, when we saw this one, we didn’t hesitate. Plus, we were living in a hotel, at the time. Anything was cheaper! 😂 But we do love this space. And the Shimokita location. 😍

@@BudCowmen It's the nicest studio I've seen and yeah i'd die for living in Shimokitasawa

@@ThisMusicIsToogood Shimokita is a dream!

Samesies! These are my favorite days. We call this place "The Office." 😂

Incredibly. Definitely a neck breaker. Everyone riding by was turning their heads. Rare to see this type of bike in Da Nang.

DM me on IG. @budcowmen

So much chrome. The detail was remarkable, honestly. Every inch of chrome had been engraved. 😮

@@BudCowmen I didn’t take notice of all the chrome being engraved. Yes, the engraving is remarkable

Do it! It was like a single’s paradise. Everyone out taking pictures and just hanging around. Was an easy place to connect with others. But you have to start the convo. 😅

I am so happy to hear it! I thought many people would enjoy it, but that just wasn’t so. 😭 I really do appreciate your kind words. Honestly, all of it is incredible! Don’t miss the pizza and burgers, though. 🤤

I wouldn’t completely disagree. But I’ll gladly continue overpaying just for the community in our building, my daily conversations with the management team, and my morning walks with the dog that lives in our lobby. 😂

​@@BudCowmen You can walk the dog that lives in the lobby? First-time hearing this.

@@nirvana10111 You can if she will let you! 😂 When her mom & dad are gone, I take her almost every day. When they are here, they take her out quite often. But she's an active dog so the walks are good for her. Take her! And say "Hey!" next time you see me. 🥰

No, this is in Tokyo, in a city called Odaiba. 🇯🇵
