With its strong demand for housing and rapid growth in various neighborhoods, you’ll find plenty of opportunities.

I would be curious if Pricelabs has taken into account the sudden need for temp housing or if it is just on autopilot. 

Mike Lambert above is correct about house values in Japan.

If there was a house of interest listed it was get there same day and make a strong offer to even have a chance, this doesn't seem to be the case at this moment.

We had no experience building a house from scratch but I did have a bank willing to lend to us.

Quote from @John Friendas: There's a house I'm considering buying with a business partner as an investment rental.

A three bedroom house for 800/mo is crazy low!

Now, the house that is about to refinance, I am thinking of turning into a MTR for traveling nurses, or other professionals as such.

If it is a high end housing product you may have to use a designer because they have access to some material/finish suppliers that are otherwise unavailable but that tends to only be for the highest end housing deliveries.

So I have a house I am going to be selling in a couple weeks, but I’m confused about what the agents are saying.
