Shu! I submitted a form a few weeks ago and haven’t heard back, what’s the turn around time for an acceptance or rejection? Thanks!

[@MrMo-l6u]

Hi Shu, I am a japanese-american who just came back to Japan to help my friends in the states either buy rental properties and/or buy home for their family to relocate to Japan. I am trying to become an intermediary for them and also possibly their property manager. I am fluent in both Japanese/English. Would love to connect but I don't think any of your forms on your website is relevant to me and I cannot find a better contact method to reach out to you than here so here I am 😂😅

[@MrMo-l6u]

Fyi- I am currently in Japan(Izu) now. I arrived on July 25th.

If I buy a property and sell it, would I get a long term business investment visa as long as I have an LLC formed in Japan?

Shu, David was very good at his processes and show how being patience is a virtue! David said they get a lot of snow.

Such a nice and humble man from the US. He understands that it's not just "oh nice cheap houses!" in Japan, but you should also give back to society if you decide to live there :) I hope he's successful later on when he chooses to live in Japan permanently! And that we get to follow on his journey to his real estate empire ;)

Nice video! Thanks for your hard work Shu! Keep it up.

[@shumatsuopost]

Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Success story is quite the inspiration.

[@gshiredgun5279]

Love what your doing to help people and show off a lot of great opportunities. Ill be going out to Japan in October. I plan to look at some Akiya when i'm visiting. Recently received an inheritance and i am seriously considering buying property near Tokyo or Kyoto. Almost the same idea for me, to live in one property and rent another. Potentially to live and retire in Japan.

Very good video. Thank you for sharing this!

[@shumatsuopost]

Appreciate it!

[@TheKerokitty]

The cost of renovation and the property taxes in Minnesota are really expensive too so even outside of the cost of the house, the continued investment to have and maintain the house is just crazy. We moved back to Minnesota from Naka-ku, Yokohama in 2015 and the cost of having a home here has simply continued to climb.

[@kaitlynphan3694]

Love your videos. I am from Minnesota too.

[@shumatsuopost]

Awesome! Thank you!

I will try to buy an 空き家 but not near any tourist areas, I prefer the south like the Kyushu or Shikoku regions

[@act98006]

I would be interested to see an interview with this fellow in a year. I am curious how he will adapt to living in Japan? It sound like he does not have much a history with the country or the society. I wonder after a year in Japan if he will find life back in the US where the language is not a problem, and he had family and friends? Sure buying the property is one thing, but living there is another.

[@najstephy5565]

One of your best videos so far, things are heating up.

[@shumatsuopost]

Glad you think so!

[@marcoverdugo5697]

Thank you!

Great channel. The music thru the interview is very distracting

Why are all the rental properties shown empty? All renovated nice and well but if you are renting it out, wouldn't it be logical to also furnish them slightly? Just me wondering because this seems to be the case all the time here

[@tulipeblanche7666]

Congratulations. I like your videos. Would you like to give us an idea if foreigners are interested in buying properties in Tsuchiura,Ibaraki-ken? My late mother-in-law's house is vacant .The good thing is that it's clean and seven-minute walk from Arakawaoki station in Tsuchiura.

[@thereviewboss]

First thing your should is hire someone to change all the light switches in the house. Those switches must be there since it was built. A total fire hazard.

[@hoodiegenji]

If I recently retired (public servant) do I need a visa to buy in Japan?

[@DidiGaga-hm4du]

23K fees for a 13K house (minimal renovation) ? hmmmmm... nice house still

[@onemorethan99]

I'm ready when you are

Shu - please make a video on how to establish a limited company and the processes and fees :)

12:05 Can you work remotely for a USA company with the business manager visa, or does it have to be a specific type of visa? What do taxes look like while working there remotely?

[@techmansoortech4031]

Is he on a business manager visa?

[@hammersampson]

The locals must think he’s Yakusa because of the tattoos.

[@EgayMendoza-z6f]

Can a filipino citizen buy a house in Japan?

[@NASTYcraftX]

I wonder how many properties you need for it to be profitable. At 444 a month, he's looking at 10 to 12 years(I'm also assuming theres property management fees)to get his money back before its profit. I guess if you had 5 to 10 properties and you bought and rented them 15 years before retirement, you could live off the profits.

[@robertgayst165]

Yes, you're really relying on a healthy rental market. It does seem to take a while to start seeing decent money coming in. And how reliable is the market if you need to sell due to a change in circumstances? Very nice video Shu.

[@Mwoods2272]

He's going to need a full-time property manager and lawyers when issues arise. That's $30,000 a year easy plus residence and health insurance tax for himself on top of the property tax and other homeowner insurances.

[@RedLion304]

@@Mwoods2272 are you talking USA prices or Japanese prices?

[@Mwoods2272]

@@RedLion304 US money. He doesn't live in Japan so he needs a person to take care of his business and those people don't come cheap, $30,000 is average for a full time person.

[@speaksthis]

@@Mwoods2272 - Your figures are way off. You can easily get basic management for 10% of monthly rent. He doesn't need to employ anybody "full time". Rental insurance is available relatively cheap for both parties, and it even covers non-payment of rent. Yes, he may be subject to medical insurance (hoken) and pension, but he would if he didn't have a rental anyway, if he resides in Japan.
