Until you have $1 million or more in equity and really understand how to use an LLC, I recommend you just buy an umbrella insurance policy for $1 million.

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.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Plymouth.

Buy not many people can do this and it requires very good book keeping.

@Brady Bitter since  you are buying new construction what makes you think you are getting 25% equity.

@Shannon Vistisen I would say this, unless you know everything that is tied to that entity, buy the property alone.

Like I said I have the buyer ready to buy. 

I would think the best way to get deals is buying the note from the bank.
