I listened to an interesting podcast recently - I think it was the Afford Anything podcast - where an American ex pat couple living in Japan are buying in the US because interest rates are negative in Japan and properties actually depreciate.

I was stationed in Japan at the time, but my stepmom lived across the street and told me it was in pre-foreclosure as the owners were getting divorced.

Hello,I am Active Duty in the military stationed in Okinawa, Japan.

If the US makes it harder for people to immigrate and/or less desirable, it's plausible that immigration will no longer be able to offset our smaller family formations (along with potential labor shortage on certain jobs/trades), and we will become much more dependent on older age citizens, similar to what's happening in Japan.  

Taxus cuspidata, the Japanese yew or spreading yew, is a member of the genus Taxus, native to Japan, Korea, northeast China and the extreme southeast of Russia.

(Houses were still considered temporary in this way in Japan until very recently, and in medieval Europe, most peasant housing was also temporary and rebuilt on average every 30 years, so this isn't really a strange thing.) 

I’m currently active duty military, stationed overseas in Japan while beginning this journey, so all of my relationships have been built virtually, or from previous connections.

We lived in Japan for a couple of years too, and I miss that ocean something fierce.

I know when my husband is at a remote location...it's hard to communicate - and we both can get very frustrated, but when we were in Japan, we had great internet and no problems/delays in being able to talk to people back stateside. 

I became an accidental Landlord in 2016 when I got an assignment to Misawa Japan 5 months after I closed on my first home.
