Japan Real Estate

We talk to an experience Australian investor who is trying to decide how, where and what to purchase for his very foray into Japan's real estate property market.

We speak to a lovely gentleman from the UK who would like to retire in the Japanese countryside - what, where and how should he go about securing a visa, purchasing a home, and re-adjusting to life in the land of the rising sun?

Find out all this and more in our conversation!

We speak to a first-time buyer from Canada, who is looking to purchase a holiday home in Osaka, Japan, and rent it out for short term stay guests when not in use, review and analyse some potential listings together. What should the property research process look like? How do I know if the property I'm buying would comply with license requirements? How does management work? Find out in this convers...
