Anybody out there who is living in Japan?

[Daniel Mills]

Hi guys,

I recently met an American on Bigger Pockets who is a real estate investor living in Tokyo. I was wondering if there were any other Japan-based investors out there, especially in Kansai.

最近日本に住んで働いてるアメリカ人とBiggerPocketsで会いました。他にも日本に住んでながら国内、海外で不動産投資をしている人はいますか（特に関西エリアで）。

Hi Bill,

Sorry for the late reply. Right now, all of my investments are in the US. I own 5 SFH in Idaho and Tennessee. But, I do plan on investing here in the future and would just love to meet people close by - even in Tokyo - who are into the same thing.

The only property I own in Japan is my primary residence - I have a loan through Shinsei bank. It's a 3LDK condo right next to Kusatsu Station in Shiga. Amazingly, it's gone up about ¥3,000,000 since I bought it 4 years ago. Pretty rare in Japan.
