I've begun to question whether my investments are disadvantaging locals in any way. I don't have any real estate in Japan but I found the farmhouses there very beautiful. And looking at the price of houses from your newsletter they look affordable to me working an entry level job in Canada. But I don't want to be disadvantaging locals/ destroying local communities. In your experience - do you see any ways in which that happens - buying real estate as a foreigner?

But is not it too hard to find tenants in Japan unless you are in super popular area? This is what I hear from my friends in Japan. Vacancies are high. In Sydney near the beach I never had vacancy more than a month for 20 years …

Hello! Very informative article! Thanks you for gathering this info... I have always been interested in the opportunity of investing in the Japan real state market, couple of questions.

First Question: Once you own something as a foreigner can you rent the property? from what i know you gotta go through a lot of loops when you want to stablish a business in japan, is this the same scenario?

Second Question: What companies or where should i look into once I'm ready to start looking for houses or apartments that are foreigner friendly? Or what is are the best website you would go to start looking for places?

Thank you!
