Especially Japanese investors.A. 

Japanese banks will not lend to non-residents, and banks that do, only lend against newish properties in the biggest cities.

This is the typical Japanese mindset for properties in Japan.Tokyo which is where I live is a different ballgame. 

HelloI have a number of Japanese clients that are looking for financing to purchase rental properties.

There are trainloads of Japanese, Chinese, Middle East and Russian money finding its way into the US RE market, and that has a domino effect - global money tends towards the elite locations - SF, NYC, etc - and that pushes some of that money inland, and so on.

Would you accept Japanese Yen?   

Etc....... there are about 10 duplex’s before mine and they are all alike (townhouse kind of styled)....MY duplex starts the next set and there are about 10 of ours as well (side by side styled) across the street and the rest of the neighborhood are alllllllll single family homes that are pretty nice and well maintained.So I recently cut down a pine tree from my front yard that I felt like was just a hassle due to the pines that it dropped leaving a constant mess...I bought a Japanese maple tree to put in place of where the pine was and some small shrubs to fill the middle of the duplex and the sides.....The duplexes I mentioned that were BEFORE me all have small trees alike and all are maintained by some landscaping company and from mines down all pretty much have PINE trees.

By the way, my doughter's name is REI meaning beautiful in Japanese.. totally accidently it also means my favorite thing in English lolThank you,Aya

Years ago I did some work with SaskTel downtown and there use to be a pretty good Japanese restaurant just down the street (not something I expected in the middle of the prairie).Looking at what you have posted - and with the caveat that I do not know the market in Regina {property taxes must be low} - my first question is does your figure of $1445/month include: snow removal, lawn care, maintenance reserve (~10% EGR ... which is more like $5500/yr) and property management (say 7-8%)?
