This could turn a potential loss into positive cash flow while protecting your property’s value.

It doesn't work as well now because it's hard enough to be cash flow positive with prices + rates and where rents are at. 

@Kenneth Joseph PerfidoFrom my experience, you’re in a great position with your Newport property, strong cash flow, and a low 2.8% interest rate.

For someone in your position, starting small but strategic might be the best move.

I go to Japan almost every year -- the demographic future is not positive.

It’s great that you’re cash flow positive and planning your next move.

It is a positive working relationship.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

The country's continuous population growth, coupled with its high demand for urban housing, positions its real estate market for steady, long-term price increases.Over the past decade, cities like Berlin and Munich have seen remarkable growth in property values, with an increasing number of investors betting on the continued upward trend.

I’m ideally looking to buy that first property in San Diego.ThanksSounds like you're well positioned.
