Recently, I went to visit two abandoned houses Sagamihara, Kanagawa.
One is right by a lake and the other one is next to a river.
They went under contract shortly after I viewed them.
Which one would you rather own and why?

Would love to see an interview with a home inspection company. Great content as always…

[@shumatsuopost]

Thanks for watching!

[@briddenattech]

My family saw this one a couple months back. From the outside, the room with the water damages looked like it was impacting the structural integrity, so we were weary. We ended up seeing a property in Sagamiko that was almost completely rental ready. We did some renovations and are pretty close to being able to use it as an air-bnb.

[@MJ-cz5gx]

Despite the extensive renovation, that second one is gorgeous! I love how its up stairs and away from the road and looks like there is a good amount of space outside

[@shumatsuopost]

I agree!

[@user-gg4kf4vh8o]

Me and my husband are planning to find an Akiya in the countryside where I could have a vegetable garden. Hopefully in your future vlog you show some.

[@shumatsuopost]

Best of luck!

[@rchurricane]

I've found that most of the Akiys do not come with AC. A mini split unit over there would cost about $2k just for the unit itself.

[@speaksthis]

They are as low as US$400, depending on the output.

[@user-sr8jh5wf4d]

Great video man! love both! Excelent deals

[@shumatsuopost]

Thank you. Yes, I agree :)

[@TenYen4796]

Visiting this summer😊

[@IsaacGbornor-vxhd]

I will invest in the second house ,I mean the last🏠 house in the video if I live in Japan ,with the leaking Roof it has great potential 🏠

[@RumMonkeyable]

You now bring a flashlight with you.....just in case?😀 Age, location, and age of the1st one is excellent for the price. Would be my choice.

[@shumatsuopost]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@brendameteyer6377]

Thank you for sharing

[@shumatsuopost]

My pleasure 👍🏽

[@shork14]

man can you talk about japanese inheritance tax as it pertains to owning homes in japan, estate planning, and exit strategy? I know its tiered but brackets are quite low imo

[@TropicTrdr]

The secret to buying the the second house right is to have a relationship with a contractor which takes time to develop here in the US and probably longer in Japan. I buy stuff like that in California but the guy who's going to fix it is right there with me. Do they do seismic retrofits to bring them up to Post 1981 codes or just tear them down?

[@talon88005]

Definitely Love watching these Cheaper Akiya's, Keep them rolling @shumatsuopost

[@shumatsuopost]

Will do!

[@W4ABN]

I think I like the first one more. Looks like a good location and probably a nice view on a clear day but I think the smaller space would be more suitable to me.

[@rsmith02]

Definitely not one with a massive roof leak in rainy Japan.

[@PaulPitak-w8j]

Hi, Shu: I am interested in living in Japan, but want to try renting one of these renovated houses before buying. Does your company work with rentals? I plan to be in Tokyo area this winter. Can we talk then?

[@mariondavia8178]

I am very interested in an Ikea house not for rental for for a home base to get started mainly either in yokosuka area or atsugi area I am looking for 1dk house not so much for renovation do not have to have a parking area this is a challenge for you😮😊

[@aichan563]

Check online listings.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I'd buy and renovate. I'd pay cash.

[@HNTV-nt7qn]

I search Akiya house in sagamihara

[@Notrocketscience101]

There’s are disappearing from the market, so quick, is there quite a bit of hype right now?

[@shumatsuopost]

This is only the beginning…

[@TenYen4796]

Second house 19k they'll have to drop 8k 😊

[@HNTV-nt7qn]

I am interested in this house please send me details

[@garrettm4909]

What do you mean by the 1% rule?

[@shumatsuopost]

Monthly rent is 1% of the initial capital invested.

[@stuartboschen1241]

No.2

[@cristianocasamatta7021]

Hi Matsu-San,great watching your video. I'm an architect and I did see a lot of potential in both the houses, especially the second one despite the water leak. The bedrooms are huge and there is also a lot of space to create an additional bathroom on the upper level. The ground level also could be rearranged a bit in the layout creating more open space. Surely the renovation costs would be higher but I guess also the rent could go easily up. I guess one thing that need to be clarified is the structure. Since the building is 1975 the structure doesn't respect the most recent seismic code. It would be great to hear from you. I'll be in Japan in July and probably I'll start searching for an interest house!
