One of the larger ex-pat directed real estate investment communities here in Japan targets all-cash buyers. 

So, coming back to the trap I mentioned in point 1 above, if I were those people, instead of providing content that's already available everywhere, I would focus on being the best possible real estate agent and then shamelessly advertise my services.

Start by networking with local investors, identifying target neighborhoods, running numbers on potential deals, and lining up financing so you're ready to act when the right opportunity comes up!

Yes, I also feel hesitant about letting other tenants know that I am the property owner.I agree that targeting areas with good neighborhoods and higher class ratings is a safer choice.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

If you layout a path it may not go the exact way the plan is laid out, but you have a target that you're aiming at getting to and a lot of the secondary decisions fall into place and are clear when you know where you are headed.Congrats on being in a great place with real estate and options!

What is your target demographic?  

How would you suggest a person target a buyer in the trades?

And if you’re targeting specific regions, what makes those areas attractive for your strategy?

In either case, the longer a property remains on the market, the more motivated the seller often becomes to offload it.Savvy buyers understand this and often target properties that have been listed for three months or more.
