I Found Cheap Houses in Japan's COLDEST Hot Housing Market

[@commentarytalk1446]

Your videos are very professional and as such informative. For me, the value in Japan is not the investment but the people and culture quality and I think you convey that thought very well though with the odd exception such as this video where you suggest growth potential. It will be interesting to see Japan's future. I wish the country and people the best.

Thanks for your kind words! Comments like yours are what keep me going. Let me know what kind of content you'd like to see in the future :)

FREE GUIDE: How to Buy a Cheap Akiya as a Foreigner: stan.store/shumatsuopost Would you buy a house and live in Sapporo, Hokkaido?

[@Hillzy600]

It's incredible watching these videos, seeing how you can buy entire homes in Japan for less money than a house deposit in Australia. Really puts things into perspective. Love visiting Japan, I've been 3 times. Very fond of the Nagano and Hokkaido regions too. I might have to move over one day.

[@shumatsuopost]

Telling you - houses are cheap here especially now when the JPY is very weak. Get in before it's too late ;)

Keep this type of content coming! Love it!

Thanks for your ongoing support!

i was cringing in anticipation for a shout out to hokkaido and or sapporo the whole time when i was watching that top 5 market video, and was throughly disappointed that hokkaido was missed out. you owe this one to all your audiances

[@DavidKAnderson]

If plans hold (and they're pretty firm at this point), I'll be moving to Sapporo in Autumn to start Japanese language school. This video was definitely helpful, as I'm thinking that Sapporo might well end up being my permanent Japan location . I love Tokyo, etc., but Hokkaido has the kind of climate I prefer, as I'm from the Pacific Northwest in the US. I have some music scene friends there (I'm a pro guitarist...), and Sapporo's scene is small but lively. It would be awesome to be able to buy a house there. I don't care about income potential, as I'd be planning on living in it, although rentability should I decide to migrate south would be a big plus.

[@shumatsuopost]

If that's the case, Sapporo might work out great for you. Tokyo is overrated. Good luck with your Japanese language school!

[@SL-bw3lz]

Thanks for the nice video. Very informative. I am a full-time real estate investor in North America, but someday, I am planning to go to Korea or Japan to invest!

[@shumatsuopost]

Thanks for watching! What part of North America do you invest in?

[@mjmikaelson]

I like the free guide. Thank you for making it ✨😉👍 Another great video. I would definitely have rental property there.

[@shumatsuopost]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ilovepotatos]

Smart investment advice Shu, Sapporo will support tourism for people who have Sapporo Ichiban on their mind as they look at Japanese map in English etc. Always interested to learn more about investing in Japan Nihhon Kokku ❤🇯🇵

[@shumatsuopost]

Thank you! Glad to hear you agree with my perspective. Sapporo is one of a kind city in Japan. I love it.

[@FranscescaJu77]

Wow i like the weather there😊

[@shumatsuopost]

The summer is very nice. I haven't experienced the winter though... 😱

[@FranscescaJu77]

@@shumatsuopost oh really? 🙏 I've never been to Japan, but Japan is the country I want to visit the most. I plan to join a travel tour, so I won't get lost. Osaka is the ultimate destination.

[@shumatsuopost]

@@FranscescaJu77 Osaka is a good intro to Japan :)

[@mrbbkk]

Agree like Sapporo and Nagano Rent to skiers in winter No earthquakes is a big plus.

[@shumatsuopost]

I think investing in apartment buildings in Sapporo is a smart move. I recently met an investor who has 7 buildings in Sapporo. Stay tuned for the video :) Where in Nagano would you invest?

[@henrylopez4650]

Do apartments appreciate or is it the same as homes. I am very interested in multifamlies in Japan.

[@marianaculcer3046]

Yes….love Japan…I will move there!

[@shumatsuopost]

Do it! See you soon :)

[@japanimated9683]

I'd live outside the city probably better deals. I'm sure you could find better deals in very small rural towns outside sapporo.

[@shumatsuopost]

I agree. Suburbs of big cities usually have the best deals. Do you also invest in Japan? If so, where?

[@japanimated9683]

@@shumatsuopost I'm more on the side of looking for a long term home with space to grow food. I'm conflicted between Kyushu and Hokkaido. Theres pros and cons to both.

[@WOWTHATSJAPAN2]

Hi I just found your channel and think it is interesting so I subbed you! I am a Canadian who lives in Kobe and have been thinking of buying real estate.

[@shumatsuopost]

Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying the content. If you think you're going to be in Japan for a while, that's a good move to get real estate in Japan. Reach out if you need help :)

[@wilz1723]

thanks for the information , i have question so lets say i got this house and rent it , how much I will get every month roughly ?

[@shumatsuopost]

It really depends on the location. I suggest you to check out websites like athome and suumo to compare rental prices in the area for similar homes

[@debbie1247]

Thank you for covering this topic. Can you help explain Japanese addresses? Finding the home online is one thing, but trying to find the physical location is so confusing.

[@shumatsuopost]

Thanks! These websites don't share the exact addresses so you literally need to go there and look for the specific house on your own unless the agent gives it to you.

[@catholicmeditation1560]

I've always been wondering if there are available akiya in rural Sapporo.😅

[@shumatsuopost]

Rural Sapporo? Oh yes, there are ton of them.

[@mariojsworld]

Nicely presented.

[@shumatsuopost]

Thanks for watching!

[@ibizaflu]

Uh, yeah I want to live here! I'm actually going to be there in November 😊

[@saintmichiel]

92k is expensive, Add closing cost, taxes and agent fees it is more than 105K US, to get a mortgage you must earn more than 3500 US gross per month for a single house hold, did you know the average 1 % on the planet earns less than 33000 US gross per year? it is the inflation that is causing trouble to get a good mortgage in the west for buying property in a foreign country

[@shumatsuopost]

Yeah, someone else told me about the statistic... Sorry, my channel isn't meant for everyone in the world 😅

[@ghostoftomjoadRATM]

Im seriously wanting to buy a house but I don't want the all redtape and paperwork with some of the houses

[@armorbearer9702]

Is there any homes or apartments in Sapporo that come with a heater? I figure a lot of foreigners would want one during the winter months.

[@shumatsuopost]

Most homes in Hokkaido and Tohoku are built differently - they usually have insulation due to the cold climate.

[@starrlightmyst]

Please do a video on Joetsu, Niigata!

[@shumatsuopost]

I've been wanting to visit Niigata :)

[@liezlleyco1011]

Hi Shu, would u be able to help us find a home in Kyoto and/or Yokohama. Thank u

Absolutely! Could you fill out one of these forms to get started? Akiya Income Generator (for rental properties): forms.gle/7ySUCdpiLVy9mHoy9 Japan Akiya Assist (for vacation homes): forms.gle/1A7FHHJxqHfuuUjh7

Thanks! Where in Sapporo do you live?

[@mrbHanoi]

Great in summer good for retirees

[@shumatsuopost]

Yes indeed!

[@fionarobertson8841]

Brrrrrrrrrr, not in winter.

[@shumatsuopost]

The summer is stunning though :)

[@saintmichiel]

is sappora making good beers 🍻?

[@shumatsuopost]

Yes it is!

[@dingo1267]

Your advice is far from the mark. Come back to those same properties in the winter and tell me it’s a good investment or not. Look at the property values around a station and see how quickly the value drops one kilometer from the station.

[@ernestlee2796]

A guy can dream.

[@shumatsuopost]

Wish you the best!

[@Ccs-ep4zj]

I don’t even know what to say. Like anything if anyone is interested in this sht just move to Tokyo and figure it out….

[@shumatsuopost]

That's one way to do it ;)
