  • Top quality Japan podcast

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Multi-Unit Investment strategy & Hybrid Hokkaido Holiday Homes
Q: So first question that I see there is, can a property be purchased separately by a US corporation?
Yes, but corporate upkeep in Japan includes accounting and minimum corporate tax if owned by a foreign entity, which may not be worth it unless income justifies it; otherwise personal ownership is more common.
Running a Profitable Investment Real Estate Portfolio in Japan
Q: What is the realistic yield when investing in Tokyo or central Osaka?
Yields in central Tokyo and central Osaka tend to be lower (around 3-4%) compared to other medium or big cities where higher yields (5-6% or more) might be achievable, though with potentially higher risk or longer vacancy cycles.
Life & Business in Japan
Q: So what was the catalyst for real estate? What was the main thing?
Ziv explains that wanting to get a financial foothold in Japan and having some funds to invest made real estate a natural progression for him.
Buying, Renovating & Running a Wellness Retreat in the Japanese Countryside
Q: What is the concept for the retreat?
The focus is on creating a unique experience by incorporating local Japanese design elements and outdoor wellness activities.
Imminent Business Manager Visa Changes
Q: Is it feasible for someone to come to Japan, set up a business, and seek venture capitalists?
