Finding a house to rent or buy in Japan and Latvia you have to go to several realtors to see what is available because there is no central repository. 

I’m currently in Japan but will be leaving the Marine Corps in July.

@Dmitri L.Currently outside Japan and i bet you guys had a successful meet up.

I have closed some loans for clients located in China, Spain, and Japan thus far in 2024 and they all utilized embassy or apostille notary. 

Sounds like you know downtown San Jose quite well yourself, but don't forget Japan Town.

The StoryI was on Instagram and saw an Ad of this Swedish guy, Anton Wormann, https://www.businessinsider.com/moving-to-japan-abandoned-ho... who lives in Japan and has been taking old abandon homes (Akiyas) in Japan, renovating them, and turning them into Airbnb.

Most other developed economies like Japan and most of Europe have gov't backed title, a few other countries have a hybrid structure, and it is really only the US and Canada that are all about private title.

Lastly we are not the only country with this labor issue .. look at Japan and I have spent some time in Singapore and the bridge crossings every morning from Malaysia for laborers is jammed packed.

(Interesting story of how that happened, involving WWII).Looks like China and Japan own a trillion each of our debt, but we own theirs too, so who knows....let's see what the money guys say.Thanks for starting out my day with the knowledge that I (as a taxpayer) am $266,000 in debt...that makes my day 😂

I was looking at Japan from a generational standpoint.
