Remember this sentence when investing in Japanese real estate: "Tokyo is suitable for long-term rent, Osaka is suitable for homestay, and feelings are suitable for Kyoto".

Indeed, the key to investing in Japan lies in three cities: Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto.

When investing in long-term housing, we are most concerned about rental income, vacancy rate and vacancy cycle.

Even though Japan's aging population is still deepening, Japanese young people have settled in Tokyo one after another, and the population of Tokyo is also growing. In 2020, the population of Tokyo metropolitan area will reach 36.75 million, and its population density is the highest in the world. The basic rental housing in Tokyo is maintained by a very high population density. Moreover, Tokyo's per capita income is relatively high, and tenants' ability to pay rent is guaranteed by high per capita income. As for the stability of the income from investing in long-term rental apartments, Tokyo ranks among the best in many cities in Japan ~

When buying a house overseas, many people worry that they will be cheated. What are the specific steps to buy a house? What are the inside stories and risks we don't know? After reading this article, you will be clear: 5 things you have to know when investing in Japanese real estate.

If you plan to invest in Japanese real estate, these points need to be reminded:

When buying a house in Tokyo, you must do a good job in choosing a house.

You can't buy a good house in Tokyo just by looking at the good or bad location, because there are no vacant rooms recently, and there are no properties plagued by vacant rooms. Most people can't tell the difference between the two. If you want to choose a good house, you must first set your own investment standards. Such as purchase price, rate of return, geographical location, distance to the station, total number of households, management fee, maintenance reserve amount, etc. If you want to find high-quality real estate with greater probability, you must require these standards to be refined.

It should be noted that the "surface rate of return" is not a real return.

When it comes to the surface rate of return, it is actually the rough income after deducting the cost, which is what everyone calls the "gross" income. And some intermediaries will tell you that you can earn a 10% "surface rate of return" after buying a house. Don't believe it. The cost of buying a house in Japan also includes various expenses such as property tax, as well as monthly repair fees and property fees. Calculated, it will probably lose 1% ~ 2.5% of the income.

Pay attention to whether Japan's housing prices are artificially high.

Pay attention to whether the house you buy is higher than the surrounding house price. In Tokyo, there will also be scenes of disorderly reporting of house prices. So before buying a house, you can check the surrounding house prices and compare the prices. There are many ways to compare prices. For small partners who invest in Japanese real estate for the first time, it is recommended to discuss countermeasures with professionals to prevent them from falling into the trap.

Investing in buying a house in Tokyo, not buying a new house.

The price of new houses in Tokyo is much higher than that of second-hand houses, which is more than twice as high. Many Japanese will also compare second-hand houses with new houses, so as to buy second-hand houses and give up new houses. If someone knows that you only invest and has been recommending you to buy a new house in Tokyo, you should pay more attention.
