Multifamily Investing in japan with a Partner

[Daniel Mills]

Hi Japan based investors:

I am a US citizen and permanent resident in Japan. I am a university professor with a good income. 

I am looking to buy a multi-family here in Japan with a partner - He is a US citizen who is bringing some valuable connections and resources and I am providing access to financing.

What we are thinking of doing is starting a Gōdō gaisha and then I will get a loan for the property based on my salary and residency status and then transfer the property into our company. 

Is this possible? I bought my personal residence here in Japan but I've never bought an investment property. Does anyone have a recommendation of how I could purchase a property with a partner like this?

Thanks,

Daniel
