Their numbers did not always add up from the initial calls to the follow up, and I believe the returns they are offering are super aggressive.

You’re going to make the deal based on today’s interest rates and today’s returns.

I'm out West at the moment, but will probably be returning to Tokyo before too much longer.At the risk of being contrarian, after picking up a couple of investment properties in Japan (one Tokyo, one outskirts), I shifted to a strategy of only investing in the US. 

Return of 37.5 after five years, closer to 40% with rent increases.  

Even still, it could be said that I've still lost money due to my time on the tools instead of prospecting as a real estate agent (the cost of lost opportunity).If you can truly do 80%-90% of the work yourself (at acceptable quality levels) and you aren't sacrificing your time where you can get better returns for your efforts, then yes, it can work even up here in Canada.

Hey Keegan for the best return, I would say AZ.

Investors are particularly interested in properties near major universities, as they offer stable and growing returns.

And you can be a landlord that gets a very poor return because they haven't utilized their space well by changing the layout.

To match the returns you'd have to peg every grand-slam appreciating stock every-single-year on the street.

This deal aligns with my strategy of adding value and achieving robust returns.
