Any background on the Tokyo market choice?

These earnings can be used towards buying another investment property, and then another, and another, and then a home somewhere in between these roll up acquisitions.Of course there are personal wants and desires in making this choice to buy an investment property 1st Vs a home for your family.

@Ryan HallfordWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

@Ryan Billingsley @Michael HerrI gave away my copy of Rich Dad so I was working from memory regarding Kiyosaki, but I'll admit I may have misunderstood him there.

Then take that info to a lender of your choice to establish the preliminary financing structure.

All references cleared up (credit score, landlords, employers, etc. )I know I could have moved on to the next applicant but I like giving ppl the benefit of the doubt and in her case, I think I did the right choice. 

Here we do not have mortgage terms longer than 7-10 years and most folks use a 5-year term, so the concept of ones mortgage rolling-over every few years is par for the course ... you simply renew/refinance, or pay out, as your mortgage comes due.On those 5-year terms, you have a choice of either a fixed-rate mortgage (on a 25 - 30 year amortization) or a variable rate mortgage (which floats with the prime rate).  

Get the Best DealNever be in a hurry when it comes to purchasing property of your choice.

If you look at how fast apartment rents are rising relative to what mobile home parks offer for their pricing, I believe it is an easy choice.  

Two major choices- I am still trying to figure out which would be more profitable, but need help figuring out the numbers on option 2. well, on option 1, as well, but that will be a separate post!
