The REIN facebook group will be a GREAT resource.

I honestly find landlording very boring and after many years its not fun.I also have thought of reparing it and then handing it off to a PM company and holding it for longer but dont know if it will be worth it.In this situation, it ultimately depends on your long-term financial goals and personal preferences.If you are not enjoying landlording and find it to be a hassle, selling the property as is may be the right choice for you.

It is important to compare different loan options and choose the one that best fits your financial needs and goals.

This can build equity and potentially increase rental income through property appreciation.Another option is to sell one or more properties to free up equity and reduce mortgage debt, which can be useful for reinvesting or diversifying investments.refinancing one or more properties to lower monthly mortgage payments and increase cash flow could also be beneficial, especially if interest rates have decreased.the best course of action depends on the clients financial goals and risk tolerance

Since the bank is always concerned with risk management for getting their money back, it helps to have things such as:- Permanent residency- Japanese spouse- Larger than usual down payment- Financially secure loan guarantor who is Japanese and willing to sign for you (you will probably need the guarantor regardless, but having one with deep pockets helps)Sorry, I don't have experience with commercial property here.

It is really hard to make money in a location with high overhead and where you cannot control your own property.As to where you should invest, it should be determined by your financial goal.

two different perspectives but for now I will tell you about the buying side:   1)  You don't vet the seller and property out fully and there are issues - title, financial, etc....

Lots of great resources here.  

Any insights and or pointers to resources would be greatly appreciated!
