Since then, I’ve paid myself back with the rental cash flow.

I'm constantly going back and forth on if I should start building again so I understand your dilemma.

When I started managing single-family rental homes back in 2009 in Augusta, GA, there was less variance in the industry (and also less services available).

However, we backed out of said deal because we found out we would only qualify for a certain amount of money on a second loan that was way too low for the market I live in.

I'd also talk to the current owner, so if they want, they can let the tenants in that unit know.Hopefully you are getting their deposits transferred to you (it is the tenants' money and you will have to pay it back in full when they go because you don't know the condition of the unit when they moved in). 

Hey George welcome - I'm also in the same boat as an American invested both back home and in Japan.

Hard to get that chicken back in the coop after. 

I’m considering building a 120 sq ft studio in the back yard to serve as an office.

My property managers will also send the client back to us because we originally referred them for the management.Different models for all.

Without naming any sources or the distribution ratio between the 4 mentioned mediums, it is difficult to determine from the user's end.
