That is like walking into the store to buy juice that is for sale for $5 and paying them $7 for it because you want to pay more than what the juice is worth.

The property is in the Jade District if anyone has particular insight on the area.4) I have some contacts for real estate agents, but I feel like they're better suited to assisting buying and selling SFR. 

Easy Street is a good option BUT you need CASH in liquid checking/savings for down payment of 20% and BIG chunk 2-3 times loan amount to buy out of a prepayment penalty.

Quote from @Atif Khan: Hi, new here. i just finished building my first spec homes out in granbury tx and was looking to buy a few more lots around dfw metroplex.

There are many reasons why I haven't pursued the arbitrage model, but mainly that it takes too long for the ROI after investing all your time and effort into buying furniture and renting and paying utilities.Let's say you rent an apartment for $1500 and you spend $7000 to furnished it.

There is another house about two blocks over that I have the opportunity to buy off market under market value.

Why would someone buy now and make little money for the chance that the rates will adjust later?

Investment Info:Other buy & hold investment.

I'm curious as well how likely someone would want to buy the furniture with the house as well. 

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.
