I am doing real estate investing and services, government and small business consulting services, and personal finance educational services.I was told in 1999 by Ken Hiyashi (former Japanese billionaire who went bankrupt in the late 1980's when the Japanese were buying up American commercial real estate):"One you have made money and lost it, it's easy to make it again. 

We currently have a big problem with Japanese investors, buying houses cash and renting them out.

:roll: Ask Japanese American citizens how the American government under the Democrat FDR was in the 40s.

I know a Really good one but he only speaks Japanese.

Korean, Japanese or Thai?

Here is an example of one that was sold recently: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/410-Nahua-St-APT-402-Honolulu-HI-96815/2090546469_zpid/The catch is that the Hawaiian and Japanese families down there have a monopoly on everything or it's someone selling swampland to outside investors. 

I am skeptical of most real estate in japan, let alone Turnkey where there will tale an extra cut for managing, legal, and translation bit of it (all contracts in Japanese).

. - Buyer market: most cities or travel zone destination has been a target for investment from wealthy family from the Mainland specifically, Japanese and South Korean recently.

A lot more Japanese and Korean companies are moving in. 

Your only issue is language and culture barriers - they're very foreigner shy and where the good deals are, almost no one speaks English - so you have to rely on turnkey operators like ourselves.Personally, the vast majority of our portfolio is Japanese, with euro and USA hedges - wouldn't have it any other way, but I'm biased. ;)
