If your goal is financial security for your family, how do those things further or impede those goals? 

It's same as everywhere but location is everything as Japanese population has been declining all prefectures except Tokyo, Nagoya and Fukuoka.

It is still a seller's market in many geographic locations, so you can ask potential buyers for an extended closing period and/or with options to extend the closing period. 

Does anyone have a refferal for a sewer scope company? I'd prefer a small business. I have 8 buildings with possibly 9 lines that I would like to get a package deal on sewer scopes of all the lines.

While I am normally in the do-not-sell camp, in this case it might just sell and buy at the new location.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I should have been more clear...I actually have a BLOC with multiple properties securing the interest.

I will secure the loan for everything.

As I am new to this and looking for cashflow using rentals, one key aspect of this investment is to ensure that the unit rents out quickly and while I do understand that cash flow to begin with might not be attractive, it can be a good investment in the long run if the location is right(as appreciation also kicks in).

Securing Lending shouldn't become a hurdle is the Deal numbers works.
