been following ur videos alot but i think one of the best things that might supercharge your videos is displaying the effective yield. rent / total reno + total cost - since you already have the numbers.
Solid video! I’m also from Hawaii and still actively working to purchase a home in Japan. Looks like I’ll be signing up for some of your courses because this is proof that it’ll help the average person like me

What a great video! I just came across your channel. I've spent the last 2 years researching cheap houses in Southern Italy and it looks like the same thing is happening in Japan. Brian's house looks better; the ones in Italy are quite ancient and need renovation.
Hello Brian. Congratulations on the nice buy. Many of the features look a lot like some of my places: green walls, the system kitchen is exactly like my home, the design on the shoji. You'll fit right in.
I heard that Hawaiians are forced to move because of high housing prices and high every things that people have to pay! Most of them move to Nevada State but it’s good that they have an option in Japan. They are nice people.
Unko ain't lying when he says Hawaii homes cost a million. I'm guessing I'll be spending at least $1.2 million to buy a home soon (May 2024) in either the Honolulu - Hawaii Kai or Kaneohe, Kailua areas. In the building where I currently live (Kakaako/Honolulu area) a 2 BD, 2 BA CONDO goes for $3250.00/mo for minimum 1 yr lease. Basically what I'm saying is, DON'T MOVE TO HAWAII if you no mo $ :)
The "den" looks very much like a dressing room. You have the large dressers in there where you place your folded clothes, plus the small chair in front of the mirrored bureau where the lady of the house would put her make up on, brush her hair, perhaps put on her jewelry.
Thanks for another great video. I've watched many videos including yours and have not decided on rural or city living. So many questions like should sell my home in the US? But first things first is the visa requirements to stay long term. 🤔 maybe I need to be there to see how things look. Should I open a Wise account before I come to Japan?
Seems like a good thing for Brian to do would have a financial/tax advisor to go over what inheritance taxes may be applicable towards his grandson when the time comes. I understand it can be extremely high in some cases.
Thank you for this video! I am also from Hawai’i and I want to move to Japan! I will definitely reach out when it’s time. fyi “Hawaiian” only refers to ethnic Hawaiians not people from Hawai’i.
Would love to get something similar like this, but renovates to at least 2 units if possible. Safe one for myself and rent the rest out if possible. Long term or short term if possible.
Nice work, good vid, great info. Will be an expat from Hawaii and moving to Japan next year to renovate some properties passed to the wife in the Shizuoka and Kanagawa prefectures. However, I am looking to invest in a place closer to the city metro, and will definitely look to touch base with you as you seem straight up and look out for the best interest in your clients.

The house costs around $100k with renovation, the rent is $800. It would take 125 months or little over 10 years to break even, also there is property tax, home insurance and maintenance cost, older home like this requires lots of maintenance. Earthquake is another threat that will hit you hard, I rather pay rent and leave the headache to someone else.
But if you're not waiting to "break even"... as a well to do person... and you simply want to make sure there's a small, steady income coming in to help maintain the property, then it is totally worthy it. A renter doesn't get to rent forever. There's time limits; if you want the place back from the renter, on some scheduled basis, you could structure the rent-agreement in such away that after 2 months, 6 months, a year, etc. they're gone... and then you get to use it again as your own. Bad renters are easily evicted, too. Again, for people (wealthy folks) who don't depend on just ONE property like this for an income, it's a good deal...
Shu we love the education and information you give us. I am in Honolulu my wife is Japanese her parents live in Nagoya we are thinking of buying a house near by. When we book our flights for next feb. we would like to contact you for help.

Hi Shu! Great interview, can you please ask a couple questions about taxes that Americans have to pay? Is there any additional tax for foreign real estate ownership? How much out of approximate $800 a month rent will the owner actually get after all expenses?
Additional tax for foreign real estate ownership? No. How much out of approximate $800? Outside of necessary physical upkeep, as it comes along, approx. $650/mo., depending on his choice of insurance coverage. He'll have report income (taxed), pay property/local tax, and perhaps more. This varies by locale in Japan.
Looks like a very good time to buy a house in Japan now. In 2024! Japan is basically on discount! When else will a developed country will have such cheap hoses? It happened in the US a while back. But not now! US is overpriced! Japan’s on mega sale!
A beautiful video I like it very much that he got a very good deal and I'm hoping that I can find something in yokosuka that I am looking for I am looking for a 1dk or something small no car parking or anything I'm hoping to be in Japan soon so maybe you can help me so keep up the good work see you soon I hope😊

Greeting from San Francisco. I like this Akiya house. Currently, I owed property in the US as well, but I am always interested investing rental in Tokyo. After watching yoir videos, I appreciate you if can guide me through the buying process and recommending some areas so i can look into it. Thanks.
?? Would he be allowed to rent that additional area (w the den and kitchen) out to a renter? Do they allow that in Japan? Im asking... Irdk Whats the crime like there? My Dad has a house over there but ive never been and as far as I know --hes not been back in my lifetime. How would I get the 'wheels turning' to visit there and maybe rent his house out for extra income? Anybody know?? Plz advise! 🤔 **Im in Baltimore, Maryland, USA🇺🇲 btw

He's going to rent it. Since he plans to give it to his grandson, he'll need to craft the rental agreement to accommodate the date the gransdon wants to move in. It isn't easy to displace a renter in Japan without very clear and legal parameters in the agreement.
Most people in Hawaii these days are not “natives” they are a mixture of every flavor of Asian under the sun. This guy himself is third generation Japanese, far from native. The real natives gave up their land more than once throughout history. King Kamehameha sold his people out to the Europeans in exchange for weapons so he could go conquer the rest of Hawaii. Many things Hawaiians these days are not honest about when it comes to their history, because the truth hurts.
People want cashflow more than capital gains in Japan. Plus I think land value will go up more than house value in Japan, but mostly in the very urban areas that attract the workforce

Including the renovation... wow that is a solid deal.

So wrong saying in your comment but okay
You’re assuming no capital appreciation. Even a modest 1-2% per year and this guy breaks even in 4 years or less rented out.

Do you have interpreters or translators for foreign buyers?

Total is 93k. How much of that is for renovation work?
Aloha To you ,Great home and the Area is very Beautiful and neat 👍
It really is!
can I ask a question: what is the categories that you are not going to get the property for?

Hi i am also interested in achieving this. How can we reach out to you?
I guess he has a japanese passport. 100k cost. 800usd rental. Long ROI.
How to set up appointment with you.

I knew for his grandchild
At $800/mo it will take about 10 years before he or his grandchildren see a profit.
Profit off of another sale may not be a goal.
Profit is not the goal if you buy in japan especially in rural areas.
@@sherlockhomes9919 then why rent it out? you pay for a house so that someone else can use it??

The title says he is Hawaiian but he answered the door w an english flag
🤔
That’s the Hawaiian flag. If you look into Hawaiian history you can see why it has the Union Jack on it.
Very nice, very nice, lucky man.. 400.00 for Hawaii is just criminal especially for the natives who used to have land for free.
Most people in Hawaii these days are not “natives” they are a mixture of every flavor of Asian under the sun. This guy himself is third generation Japanese, far from native. The real natives gave up their land more than once throughout history. King Kamehameha sold his people out to the Europeans in exchange for weapons so he could go conquer the rest of Hawaii. Many things Hawaiians these days are not honest about when it comes to their history, because the truth hurts.
Japanese houses won’t go up in value like in the US.
They will if ppl are only buying for arb&b like alot are.
People want cashflow more than capital gains in Japan. Plus I think land value will go up more than house value in Japan, but mostly in the very urban areas that attract the workforce
