    I guess success is measured by each individual, not everyone considers that is wealthy. 😂
    All I can say is, one of my US properties is worth all of his aikiya houses combined. When it comes to cash flow, I'm perfectly OK with $200k+/- per week on 1 of my operation.
    It's perfectly fine, if one decided to build a life in JP and started with nothing.
    Not my cup of tea and no RE is not the only way. 🤣

    Thanks for the interview Shu. I apologize for talking so much and so fast. I guess I had a lot to say. lol 😅 I'm really glad that I changed your mind on Japanese real estate. 😅

    25:15 they do that here in the USA. Nice to you in your face and will talk about you behind your back and gossip. I seen and had that happen at my job.

    This guy screams weeb smh. Please don’t stay in Japan much longer. Foreigners in Japan overall are mega cringe and trying to westernize the rest of the world. The longer I watch this the more cringe this becomes. It’s almost like the colin guy is proud or bragging about taking the slow lane journey with 10 $2,000 homes in the span of 23 years. I wouldn’t take advice from this guy, Rich Dad Poor Dad is a motivational book that’s common sense? 😂 The book is a mindset shift masterpiece. You think that book is common sense? Then why is 99% of the world full of slow lane, rat race destined morons?

    I think he is giving good advice to buy yourself a place in Japan (if you move away you can always rent it out and then have the option of moving back later). I am interested in buying a place in Japan to renovate and use as a base, I will not qualify for a loan or be able to get approval for a rental. But if I own it outright I can rent it out for periods of time.

    I can only spend under $10,000 USD everything included, at most $12,000. More than that, I am at risk of burning what's left. I am guessing China people prefer buying New properties from developers, Condos with pool etc.. Not into heavy costs in renovation & throwing out stuff for $15k & more. In other words, they want everything already there, they just put the money on the table & sit back. Also, there is a risk of losing the investment to earthquakes & tsunami if they buy properties near the coast for the view. Also, China people now have no money or less than before Covid.

    He's from Canada, but everything about him screams American. Good interview and great information. I would like to know how Colin started teaching English in Japan… like, did he go over on the JET program, or something similar?

  21. Grant Canada

    It's not that bad in Canada – parts of Vancouver are quite harsh, yet the rest of the country is quite chill. America – different story.

    もし私の日本語は間違っているなら、すみません。外人にとして、私は日本に四年間に住みました。本当に日本が大好きだよ。

    インターネットで、「空き家を買い方こ」の事がどいつもこいつも外人を教えてるがだめだ！気をつけてください！

    けれらの種類の外人がお金を作りたいだけだよ。日本、日本人、日本の社会、日本の文化などを気にしません。お金だけを気にしてる！西洋の文化と日本の文化がちがい。水と油は混ぜにくい。大部分外人は日本の生活様式に慣れられません。

    アメリカ人のために、日常生活は大変になりました。アメリカで、何処も値段や暴力は増えてるだか逃げたい。「日本に引っ越しょう！」のアイディアを考えると、多分一問題を直すけれども沢山他の問題を得る。そして日本に西洋の社会の問題を輸入しますか。本気？

    そして将来に、不動産投機のせで、日本人の後代のために、家が買えなくなります。今アメリカのように。

    隣の芝生は青い、灯台下暗し。

    The grass is greener on the other side. It’s hard to see right under your nose. Foreigners wanting to live in Japan should learn these phrases before they leap!

    日本で、人口減少は大きな問題ですね。しかしたくさん投資の外人のが、いいアイディアですか？ペリー提督は日本に来て、ニッポンのドアを開けさせったと、日本は永遠に変わってしまったね。

    私は馬鹿な外人だけ、私の馬鹿な意見だけ、本当に気をつけてください！

    よろしくおねがいします。

    For a retiree, there is no retirement visa Buy a house and u still cannot get a one year residency permit I would only be in Japan 2 or 3 months a year once or twice I could always fly to Bali or the Phillipines or Korea to reset my visa. I dont care about capital appreciation or rent I can make far more in the stock market. It is just a cheap safe place to live in the countryside. Do this in Thailand, Vietnam and the Phillipines.

    Real estate is not just capital gains and rental income Long ago invested 650k in Tokyo. This makes it easy to borrow 400k Put in in a stock account use 200k margin and buy 600k Sell for 1.2 mil or more. Can trade 1 to 2 mil a month using real estate as colateral. I see this as better than capital gains or rental income.
