I'm big into self sufficiency and eco living ideas. People in my position want to live this life but in the UK its wildly unaffordable and land/property ownership is but a fantasy for most people. This is an affordable and appealing venture/adventure. But I would as a request, I love to see something like this please? Frankly I think the Japanese are bonkers for wanting to live in these cities, if we had the option here to own property this cheap in the countryside, there would not be a housing crisis right now. i enjoy your videos please make more 😅 @@ANTONINJAPAN

@pbosq 6 месяцев назад

If we assume all of Ito sans 8 properties rent out at around 70-80K a month he would stand to make 70,000 JPY * 12 months * 8 properties = 6,720,000 jpy/year. Even when accounting for the fact that there will be costs for maintenance that sum equals to a decent salary in Japan. If we also assume none of this is debt financed Ito san could in principle retire tomorrow. Even if he does not want to (does not seem to be the case) it is still a very good position to be in.

But I'm amazed that other house owners and even agents now tend to open up to you to talk about this rather "silent" contract business. This is so interesting for foreigners like me. (I only signed a japanese contract once, wich was for renting a gakuryou room for one month, and this was complicated enough for the rest of my life.)

Cash, you can’t live there permanently because permanent residency is insanely difficult to get as a foreigner, especially if you don’t speak Japanese, and of course everything will be in Japanese so you either need to know Japanese or hire a translator.

@SteifWood 7 месяцев назад

I'd like to do the same here in Norway, but prices for even "akiya" houses here are ridiculously high as well as you have to have residency in a purchased house for min 1 yr if you want tp avoid paying excessive taxes (a regulation to keep the investor/rebuilder/quick profit incentive down as it's lack of apartments here)

@Jackthesmilingblack 3 месяца назад

Purchase Price: $7000. Gaigins will always be bashing their head on the low doorways. Keep in mind that a 20-30-year-old Japanese house has essentially a negative value especially if the building needs to be demolished. Only the land has value. So it's all location, location, location ... mainly proximity to paid employment. Flipping (buy, renovate, sell on for a profit) is generally not feasible., but you might considering renting it out. Obviously you'll need a Japanese/Japanese speaking partner. Of course if you buy, renovate, fix the garden and live in it the rest of your life, it becomes an Akiya again. Unless you leave it to your ne'er do well relatives. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

@stmg3656 7 месяцев назад

The kitchen looks good, but anyone who has lived in Japan knows that the open kitchen concept can be freezing in winter. You have to wear your coat when you cook in that kitchen to keep urself warm ,,because they don't have central heating, and houses are made very thin due to earthquakes. It may look nice, but it's a very bad idea for living in

@gailalbers1430 7 месяцев назад

He insulated all the walls but i do not know what his heating system is - I am sure he knows about the winters…

@stmg3656 7 месяцев назад

The issue with foreigners in Japan is that they often assume the mindset will be the same as in their own country. Having lived in Japan and many other countries, I can tell you that Japanese people are very intelligent. The houses shown in the video will remain empty for a long time if they are not located near a station or in the city center. These Akiya houses appear to present a great business opportunity, but I can't help but wonder why Japanese people haven't pursued these opportunities before. We should ask ourselves that question. "If something seems too good to be true is it really good ?", we should be more cautious about it. @@gailalbers1430

@stmg3656 6 месяцев назад

So many questions.. so many risks in buying such a cheap house. Is it even earthquake resistant? I mean its old.. such old buildings usually get destroyed during a big earthquake. Japanese government even expect a big (9m.) Earthquake on the next 20-30years. Also insulating is rly bad. You have to run aircon the whole time. Winter and summer... If you work is in a different city, you have to take the train every day.. and taking the train is quite expensive in Japan. Not worth it if you ask me.

@thehungrygoldfish 21 день назад

You know you can still have the same problems even when you buy an expensive house, right? The number one factor is location. If you want a cheap house, you have to live in a cheap location.

@ratdoto2148 18 дней назад

They are empty for a lot of factors and that is not one of them. They are usually inherited in a run down state and require work before they can be rented. Many Japanese feel guilty about selling off their inheritance even if they can't put in or pay for the work required to rent it. Even if they have no problem selling it, you can lose money demolishing them or renovating them, so either you front that cost to sell it, or no one will buy it off you. Very few of these properties actually have room to turn around your investment in any decent time frame.

@Inkulabi 7 месяцев назад

If a building is derelict is it ok to demolish and rebuild? Are the planning laws on designs restrictive or open to creativity?

@TheBreaker996 5 месяцев назад

Japan has very strict laws regarding garbage disposal (which includes trash after demolition). On top of that, there are some regions where you can not demolish and rebuild houses. That's the case in many tightly packed parts of the country. So it is either you keep the outside as much as possible intact or buy a new house. This is why you really need a Japanese person by your side to help navigate all those rules.

Everyone you will be dealing with will not speak English and all the documents will not be in English so you either have to know fluent Japanese, know someone who does or hire a translator.
