When Isaac Chiang immigrated to the US from Taiwan with his family, I don’t think he could’ve imagined he would be owning a real estate portfolio of 174 units today. In 1984, he and his family immigrated to New Jersey from Taipei with very little money. But today, he is a successful real estate investor who has retired from his corporate job with multiple 6-figure cash flow from his real estate portfolio.
So in this video, Isaac is going to talk about his real estate investing journey and how he bought 174 properties in the US as an immigrant who started with very little and how he built a real estate empire with his wife. Whether you want to get your real estate investing journey started or scale your business to the next level, you’re gonna want to watch this.
And later in the video, we’ll discuss why he’s shifting his focus onto Asian markets, including Japan and where in Japan he is looking to invest next.
Enjoy!

I’ve enjoyed all three of your long form interview videos, keep ‘em coming 😊
I did my research last time, it appears that mortgage rates for own stay is below 1%, but loans for investments is 2-4%. We are staying in Fukuoka. Have viewed 1 property to buy for own stay, it has been listed for 9 months and recently they have reduced the price. So am not sure how easy to resell properties here. the property is relatively new (about 6 years old) and u see other properties around the area (which are about 20 years old), most are selling at half the price of the property we viewed. So you will also be worried if prices will fall in 20 years. Another thing to consider is that as a Japanese citizen, ur properties will be subject to inheritance tax if u pass on, which can go up to 55%.. So imagine if u have 5 million bucks worth of property, ur kids will have to fork out 55% of that... =( I think one way to get around it is if u have a company managing the properties? not sure about that as havent researched that far
You don't buy a house in Japan as an investment to resell at a profit. He has mentioned this countless times in other videos. Expect house price depreciation. You make money from renting the place out and hopefully in the end make way more from rent than the lost money from depreciation.
@@maxintos1 i understand that we don't buy a house in japan with the aim of reselling at a profit. Had done my research on it. But to buy one and a decade later have the house value drop 50% is also pretty scary. Takes about 8-9 years of rent to earn that 50%. On top of that if u get rent from property u will need to pay the income tax on that. And japanese income tax can go quite high. Also japanese apartments, the gov has a rule that if 80% of the tenants agree to sell, the building owner has the right to force u to sell. Not v sure if they will force the price down. So it begs the question if property here is a good investment for rental income compared to other places or even index funds, since Shu has mentioned in his previous videos that the s&p has an avg return of 7-9%, its compounded and more liquid. Since ur capial will be tied up for the long term anyway
Great video! Love the format!
I have never heard anybody being that optimistic about Japan, but more people are probably going to join him in that soon.
Exciting times are ahead!
Fingers crossed!
Great episode Shu! Thank you for sharing Isaac! ✨😉👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing content! Full of good advice and insights. Please continue!!
Thank you! Will do!
Akila is going to increase in number. I dont see how the Japanese properties price increase when the supply is high and demand is low!!!
Keep the great content coming I’m sure to watch !!
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Your channel is so helpful, Thank you Isaac!
Happy to hear that! I've learned a lot as well!

You bet!

I lived in Flushing, each unit of his properties in Flushing are probably being rented for at least $3,000, EASY (it is probably on the $3,500 ballpark) . So he has AT LEAST a cash flow of $18,000 per month, even with an unoccupancy rate of 40%, it's a roughly $11,000 a month. Only this is a HUGE leverage. If he sells, each triplex is worth $6M if he wants to sell it quick...all this he inherited.
Great video, I've only recently come across your channel, but I'm a big fan.
We have a business in Myoko - Japan and I find your videos very interesting and relatable.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching!
Priceless this interview
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼for this content, WOW….
All the best for your second child .
Thanks for watching!
What is the thing from Kyushu that sell for 25 in Manhattan ? I just came from Kyushu & am curious. Vi was also imagining the retro tv show Monkey Magic cld be set there and also Shikoku !? Great discussion 🌞
Great work! You even took the time to cut in some video from behind. Little hard to hear your guest when listening while driving. This is very typical an experienced podcasters like Joe Rogan are always having to remind their guests to move closer to the microphone. Oddly, audio is much more difficult to capture in high fidelity then video.
Owning real estate can be a great dream or a nightmare. If you have lousy tenants then they can be troublesome. The tenants can be good with money and they pay themselves first and can delay paying you rent which could give you trouble if you have a lot of mortgage.
Shu and Isaac, great video, great journey. Your statement and utopia idea as follows, you have gained capital growth in an existing asset then utilise the market generated equity for your next property. Now i would like to question this concept. Do you actually draw down the capital increase in the asset which means taking out a loan and verifying serviceability for now a much greater debt and then applying this new found income to your next purchase and nodoubt more debt so now your second property is leveraged 100% less the equity from your first property which now has a higher debt? Or do you use the equity in your first priperty as security and borrow 100% on your second property and cross calateralise the debt and revenue over the two properties. Applying this principal where you're constantly leveraged at almost 90% constantly and uf there is a correction in the supply chain or over supply of rental proerty where your rents fall. Hiw do you mitigate this position? What are your short , medium and long term strategies in the proerty market. ? Your investments are what is called a shotgun approach and ingloboland developments. Where you rely on single industry for your supply of tenants as with the fossil fuel sector. Hiw are you mitigating this approach.? My only thinking is these investments are low value investments with little capital input and decent rent cap rate. Remembering the greater the cap rate the lower the capital value. Would you agree with this. Also your currency chart is extremely misleading, the USdollar is a market driven currency where as the chinese rmb is manipulated. And further your comments about BRIC's they cant even agree on a singular currency.
So his collateral to buy in Kentucky, were the properties his parents had bought in New York? Plus his seed money from the sale of the Dubai business as his deposits. What sort of loan to deposit ration was he working on?
I'm in Fukuoka City, I've been saying for a while that this is a potential hotspot.
Fukuoka is really amazing!
What is the cost to sign up for your course?
Signing up is free - if you're accepted, it comes with a complimentary initial consultation 😉
@@shumatsuopost I thank you Mr Shu for the time you take to reach out and also make videos to provide the information to others. Stay blessed always.
His own chart shows huge growth for the dollar and the chart stops over two years ago! Very misleading. And in 2018 one US dollar bought 6.81 Chinese Yuan. Today it buys over seven!
yeah that chart was misleading although i do believe the principle idea was still ok, the dollar will continue to drop eventually. But since the dollar is strong right now it allows you to get better deals in foriegn markets....maybe his chart was for Chinese investors 😅
Guys, this is Isaac. Glad you caught that, yes the data was from when I was teaching a class a couple of years ago. However the general idea stays that US government will continue to print and now even more nations are circumventing the dollar, thus it is ever more important to know how to combat inflation by investing. Thanks again.
cant he just put on a headphone so to cut out the feedback?
I have a question. Was that apartment building $2.5M with revenue at 5+% but you can borrow 80% at 1.5% amortized over 27 years. Is my math way wrong; it seems his monthly revenue wont cover his monthly loan debt?
Right now you can do short term bills and treasuries for 5%. That’s very low return
😮
Agreed that Fukuoka is one the hottest cities in Japan.
It is!
What is his age?
hmm interesting
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
It's hard to listen to this interview, the sound is awful, the guy doesn't have a microphone, and every other word is you know, you know, you know
It took a Canadian to change an American/Japanese mind about real estate :P 😁
I see you more like a Japanese looking like a Canadian lol
@@shumatsuopost Damn, my cover has been revealed! You're probably 100% correct.
