I do not have a zairu kado. I would like to buy a house in Japan and stay on it for vacation, possibly up to 6 months a year at least. Is it possibly to buy a new house (not loan required, assuming I can afford it with ~20 to 30 million yen)? Do you know if it will be a customs problem (at the airport or visa extension agency) to tell them I owe property in Japan? How much is typically the property tax range per year in different areas in Japan? I am looking for in the near future to buy house possibly near Tokyo (Akiruno) or Sendai or Morioka or Aomori....By the way, thank you for the video.

I've always been very interested in relocating to the countryside of Japan, but it's very difficult to get a Visa if you're self-employed. I'm a freelance video game artist and make pretty good money, but it's nearly impossible to secure a Visa for Japan.

[@akbardwiputra]

[@pspaulstewartinterviewinspires]

Thank you Yamamoto-san

[@RackTheMilesWelding]

The thing that gets me is this; if I want to buy a property I have to view myself being there often. If it's in another country aside from where I'm working it's going to be quite difficult for me to make that decision.

I wonder if it is possible to have a larger property in japan. If I moved there I would want to eventually buy something around 5 acres or 20000 sq. m ~ for a larger backyard. for privacy.

[@christimoody]

Is it difficult to fill in all the property sale paperwork from overseas. Currently with covid restrictions and not being able to physically be in Japan, what do you advise? I am trying to purchase an old Kominka home (Akiya) in Yamaguchi prefecture. Is it possible to complete the purchase from overseas? Or do I need to physically be in the country? Thank you

Is it common for a bank to decline a mortgage because the building doesn't have a earthquake resistance certificate or something? I just got refused by my bank, SMBC, on these grounds. The condo was built in 1977 in a very exclusive area of Tokyo and maintained regularly.

[@NateWithWho]

Can a foreigner who doesn't have permanent residency permit, purchase a place, stay for 6 months a year and/ or rent out for some period of time? How difficult is it to get a loan if income is not an issue.

[@yamamotopropertyadvisoryto1271]

It is the visa issue so you need to talk to the Japanese embassy in your country. On average max time you can stay with tourist visa is 3 months but it depends on your nationality. If you don't have income, you can not get a loan. If you don't live in Japan, it is very difficult to get a loan(not impossible but tough). You could start your new business in Japan as the owner and could apply for the business manager visa.

[@jirenthegray]

Theoretically you may be able to buy a property in Japan without a residency visa and only come to Japan with a tourist visa twice a year (normally they only allow 3 months max on a tourist visa twice per calendar year.). So for example you can live in Japan for 3 months, then live in your native country for 3 months, and go back to Japan for 3 months.

[@abbasraza1471]

Can people from Pakistan also allowed to buy a property in Japan ?what r the criteria and rules for this .kindly guide me .I am seriously interested .

@@abbasraza1471 It is the same for every foreigner, it doesn't matter if your country is in the UN or not. If you are planning on getting a property loan, it is near impossible.

Hello Sir, Can you please let me know whether foreigners can take Farming Plots in Japan on Lease? And How much it costs?

[@bennydeguzman7668]

I plan to buy a property in Tokyo. I heard it is very difficult for non-resident foreigners to get a bank account to be used to auto-pay the condo dues and the real estate tax. I also heard that in order to open a bank account, you need a local Japan phone number. I know non-resident foreigners are not allowed to get a phone number in Japan. Are all these true ?

[@deyabuNeo]

Is it possible to buy a house in two/three payments? I meant How likely is that scenario in Japan?: For example paying 50% of the price(to reserve) then 50%(or 25%, 25%) after some months.

[@lokeshkumar3456]

what is land rate near tokyo outer ring road or any good area

[@micomarinas2753]

I want to ask you the following questions: 1. how much is the estimated price of a 3 to 5 bedroom condoninium in tokyo? 2. how much is the annual real estate tax in tokyo japan? 3. how much is the monthly condominium association dues/fees in tokyo japan?

[@atsushisakai2440]

I am not a realtor but for new apartment in Tokyo around Yamanote line will start from from 0.8M US . Real estate tax would be around $2000 roughly.　This amount decreases over time. Monthly association fee .starting fee may be around $300/months but this increases over the years. Need parking? Then additional $200/months. This Sumio place is good place to search for condo, but in Japanese only....suumo.jp/

[@thedarkknight9021]

Can an individual, who is an adult in his own country(like 18 years old) buy a property even if he is considered in Japan to be underage?

[@NUCLEARARMAMENT]

1% interest rate on a 35-year fixed-rate mortgage possible if I have a temporary or permanent VISA? Can I qualify for a mortgage if my only source of income is dividends from US-issued common stock? If I have $4,000 per month in US dividend income before taxes, is it possible to use that as a qualifying income source for securing a 0% down mortgage from a Japanese financial institution? I have no employment in Japan but I am interested in living there and eventually obtaining a permanent residence status there. Also, I'm looking for real estate with 4SLDK layouts (SLDK is a MUST) and larger, with at least 200 square meters building floor area, within 20 minutes walking distance of a train station or closer, constructed from concrete and stainless steel rebar (steel-reinforced frame building, or reinforced frame combined with wood is also fine; but not just wood only), and made in 1981 or sooner. Preferably ¥100,000 ($1,000) yen per square meter of building floor area or less. It is hard to find real estate in Japan like this.

[@GhostOfSinaloa]

So I live in England and me and mate want to come to Japan cause we love Japan so much especially me and I want to buy a small house for when we come over so it would be a holiday home for whenever we come over what main things do I need cause I won't be permanently living in Japan it will just be there for when I visit

Can you buy a house in japan just to put it perminantly upp for rent

[@roygertel]

Thank you for the info. Question- if I buy appartment in Japan can I live in it ? A tourist get 3 month visa than he must leave the country. Do I need to leave the country every 3 month if I have property ? Thanks

[@atsushisakai2440]

You can live in purchased apartment as long as you have some type of visa to stay in Japan. But you have to manage to pay for the property tax every year. Also longest short term stay will be 90 days at max. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, need to apply for different type of visa which takes more time and effort. But it is worth a try, Japan is good place to live in^^

Yeah, foreigners can buy, but it isn't so easy. Foreigners will get rejected for many reasons....yes the biggest one is farmland. I make videos on this. I also own 13 properties myself here.

Given the low birth rate/high government debt to GBP and quite high taxes I would not generally not recommend investing in Japan except in the center of big cities like Tokyo/Osaka where you are less likely to get a depopulation problem

Can dividend income from the U.S. stock market be used to qualify for or a loan?

What income source is required to apply?

[@user-sl6ou3qb9l]

Any income Why would you think it’s any different

[@NUCLEARARMAMENT]

@@user-sl6ou3qb9l Because some countries like Canada won't allow dividend income to be used to qualify for a mortgage loan. It could be the same in Japan. Not everything is a clear cut as it seems, there are always nuances in the realm of finance, especially when it comes to different countries.
