Just some constructive criticism, I think this is a great idea for a video. But spending the first 20 mins on Daniele who has no bank account which means he has submitted zero offers, has zero actual investments in Japan. I’d love to hear his experience two years from now regardless of whether it was a success or a failure. We can all learn from his experiences. But at the moment, he’s just a guy talking about his “investment strategy” that he has never tested out

Just to put things in context, 6 private properties in Singapore are probably worth at least USD 3 million easily. The cheapest private properties (condominiums) are around SGD 600,000 (USD 450,000) without renovation, taxes and other necessary fees. These are 1 bedroom apartments which are not in the central areas. Depending on the location, leasehold (99 year, 999 year, freehold), total area and amenities, the prices increase dramatically. Expect to pay around SGD 1.5 million (USD 1.11 million) for a 3 bedroom condominium apartment. As Singaporean citizens, there are also additional taxes on top of each additional property you buy, which dramatically increases the cost (20% for your 2nd property, 30% for your 3rd property and subsequent ones). They might also have a mixture of residential and commercial/ industrial properties. Of course, they might have secured great financing arrangements, but it is really impressive.

Most Japanese properties are not investment grade. Outside of the central Tokyo area it’s difficult to get roi because rental housing outside is generally affordable and plentiful. If you’re buying for yourself as a residence or second home it’s one thing, but houses in Japan are generally considered a “commodity” and have a limited shelf life in the eyes of most Japanese. Sure you can pick up an akiya for very little upfront cash but they’ll generally be further outside major population centers and by the time you do the renovations to make them livable, you can often buy a newer home closer to the city.

We are building a house in Tokyo, the total cost will be north of 100 million. Prices in Tokyo 23-ku have gone up significantly in the last 1-2 years, mansions are starting to become unaffordable for the average Japanese resident. Because of the weak yen, foreign buyers are pushing prices higher and causing shortages. This in mainly true for Tokyo proper but happening in other areas also.

I’d have to agree. I keep hearing that property values in Japan depreciate, but I believe foreign investors will push home prices up. Also foreign investors will likely sell to foreign buyers, so there is a niche. Obviously, locals won’t be able to afford it, but there is a growing market of foreign buyers along with sellers. The weakening yen certain fuels this growth. Just yesterday, there was an article that 25% of foreign residents in Tokyo are Chinese and they have been buying condos quite a bit.

I would like to tear down and rebuild. My priority is good insulation, earthquake proof up to 2024 standard, and modern style homes. I’m a rare person who doesn’t care about Japanese style homes. They’re cool to walk in and see tatami rooms, but not something I want to live in. Another thing I noticed watching other KZbinrs in Japan, is that many high dollar homes(even million dollar ones in Tokyo) look dated still. I mean they’re nice, but style wise a bit dated. I will say small homes in Tokyo utilizes space efficiently. I think hiring an architect is necessary if you really want it built the way you want. How much does an architect cost?

haven't seen all of the video yet, so I may be speaking off topic... but in my opinion, it really messed up to see foreigners monopolize Japan. Here in the states, there is already an unfair renting market. Now imagine you're some Japanese guy who has been working his whole life to buy a house, but he can only afford renting from some person who doesn't even live in Japan. I can understand moving to Japan if you love the country, but owning multiple properties and hiking up the prices is crazy

I hope Japan does not go though the same craziness as it’s so unfair on the average Japanese family. I love Japan for the people not the property. And resentment to tourists will spread to foreigners buying up properties (though it’s not as good an investment as they think, u less you know the culture and language very well even then rent is low especially on older properties).

I lived in Japan for 7 years (in the late 90s) and plan to move back within the next 4 years permanently for semi-retirement. I am very curious how rental returns compare by area in and around tokyo. The higher-end properties in central tokyo do not seem to be good investments based on what I have seen in terms of return on capital and potential for depreciation. That said, the less expensive segment that you explore in this video may present higher returns. Curious what return these investors are targeting.

Hi Shu Matsuo! Thanks for posting this video. I'm a first time visitor to your channel and you definitely have my subscription and thumbs up! I wonder could you help me with a question in regards to the properties showcased in this video? What is the average rental return for one of these homes selling for around $150k and what kind of vacancy rates can you expect? I'm from Australia where a gross yield of 6-7% is considered good, however competition is high and vacancy rates can be as low as less than 0.1% in many areas due to the housing crisis in my country. Looking forward to your response and more videos!
