Cheers to @Shane Pearlman for sharing a bit about Japanese real estate with me when we went hiking down in the redwoods in Santa Cruz.

And you could buy little flats in Japan ( countryside towns)  for 30 to 40k US and they return about 10% cash on cash.. what you have though is the Japanese tenant which is not to be confused with a US tenant.. 

Rent 1200.00 per unit.Pic shows freshly painted front doors, and a peek of the 15 Japanese box hedges and 7 red rose bushes just planted.

I’m trying to get more and more involved in stock trading and rather than just getting googlied-eyed over ever marketing scam I see on tv I might as well just ask a fellow trader.

What Business entity would be advantageous for occasional trader ?

All the heavy hitter note traders are here.

And just FYI - last summer when much of the hospitality industry was gasping for air, I was running at 87-92% occupancy at my new guesthouse, with one guest comparing my hospitality to "kintsuji", the Japanese art form of mending broken pottery with gold.  

If I understand your question, you're looking for an English-speaking Japanese "CPA" so that you can understand options for your Japanese/non-American friends, is that correct? 

I have ten thousand reasons I would do this over the stock market (and I am an Investor Relations analyst by day, my hubs is a trader on his off days, we are both in O&G and KILLING ourselves to move everything into RE as quickly as possible.) 

No guarantee that rates follow those projections but if I was able to predict rates more accurately that the yield curve, I’d be a bond trader.
