Those who have figured this out have earned my firm's business; I'm not willing to be held hostage by 'process.'

No deal is perfect, and anyone on these forums will have different investment objectives as you, but you will typically get some things to at least think about before moving forward.

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.

Make sure you are clear on your objective so they are not showing you deals that are not worth looking at. 

I would need to know a lot more about your specific situation and objectives in order to tailor the advice.

From there if no one objects, the city will give you a conditional use permit.
