Most sellers that are open to selling you a deal off-market are just like I was with my rentals: the way to motivate them to sell is to give them a price HIGHER than they think they can get on the market.  

Make sure you are highly dedicated and motivated to take action.

You can add that you will buy the insurance for them and charge them if they remain in the property after [Date].

They could also sell the property to you and lease it back, allowing them to remain in the home while accessing liquidity.

But the mindset remains that the structure just loses its value over time.That's not to say I think property investing in Japan cannot work -- it's just the parameters are quite different from places like the US (like many things in Japan!).

One of the best ways to engage with the community is to remain active in these forums (reading & contributing).Setting up keyword alerts is a great way to get started.All the best!

In other words, STRs can remain and can be sold to other investors in the future3.

The goal is to ensure that the property remains viable even if circumstances change, like dealing with a non-paying tenant or a market downturn.

From the sound of it, the cheap debt is not really a motivator at all for you.

I have never been to a Tony Robbins event (and no big interest tbh) but it seems Rod used some of the ideas that he placed between MF investing topics to keep people motivated.
