Japan Foreclosed Property 2015-2016 - Buy this 5th edition report!

Over the years, this ebook has been enhanced with additional research to offer a comprehensive appraisal of the Japanese foreclosed property market, as well as offering economic and industry analysis. The author travels to Japan regularly to keep abreast of the local market conditions, and has purchased several foreclosed properties, as well as bidding on others. Japan is one of the few markets offering high-yielding property investment opportunities. Contrary to the 'rural depopulation' scepticism, the urban centres are growing, and they have always been a magnet for expatriates in Asia. Japan is a place where expats, investors (big or small) can make highly profitable real estate investments. Japan is a large market, with a plethora of cheap properties up for tender by the courts. Few other Western nations offer such cheap property so close to major infrastructure. Japan is unique in this respect, and it offers such a different life experience, which also makes it special. There is a plethora of property is depopulating rural areas, however there are fortnightly tenders offering plenty of property in Japan's cities as well. I bought a dormitory 1hr from Tokyo for just $US30,000.
You can view foreclosed properties listed for as little as $US10,000 in Japan thanks to depopulation and a culture that is geared towards working for the state. I bought foreclosed properties in Japan and now I reveal all in our expanded 350+page report. The information you need to know, strategies to apply, where to get help, and the tools to use. We even help you avoid the tsunami and nuclear risks since I was a geologist/mining finance analyst in a past life. Check out the "feedback" in our blog for stories of success by customers of our previous reports.

Japanese man's perspective on Japan

I had an interesting conversation with a Japanese man last night. It was special because I very seldom meet a Japanese man as insightful, intelligent and open. A true gentleman, and very honest. He was explaining that during WWII Japanese men studying at university were forced to enlist in the military. After the war these people had no money, and were living in very basic apartments with shared toilets, no heating, and bad drafts. It was typical for the parents to direct them into university. He wanted to make Japanese noodles. This was commonplace so its not surprising that he should begrudgingly accept his parents wishes. His account highlights the fact that it was parental expectations that their children should have an opportunity to study that many of them missed out on. I dare say many parents were living vicariously through their children, but I'm sure many other parents who didn't want their children to get a university education still wanted to cajoule their children towards prosperity because they were so poor.
He made the point that Koreans and Chinese people are so much like Japanese. I agree with that. Its particularly evident when you go to the Japanese countryside and you meet Japanese farmers who are just like Koreans. Mind you the educated elite in Korea are like city Japanese, and the same for the Chinese elite.
I disagreed with him on the next topic. He suggested that Japanese children today are obliged to go to extra-curricular activities in order to be competitive. I don't think that in itself is bad. One of Japanese strengths is that it is a highly organised society. The problem is two-fold:
1. Japanese kids are sometimes forced to do this. But often they enjoy the extra time with friends. I learned this from the daughter of my ex-GF.
2. Japanese children are given the same rot learning as western kids, just its more intense, and there is less respect for the kid's wishes, though that is changing.
3. Japanese kids are very innocent compared to Western kids. They really lack external experience. Outside of Japan is really a hostile world for them. They are so sheltered or protected. I readily saw the difference when I met 2 13yo NZ exchange students in Japan. Japanese would be inclined to talk about dolls, cute dogs, other frivilous matters, whereas the NZ'ers could have adult conversations. No wonder Japanese are perceived as being racist. Mostly I think its from intimidation and insecurity. The Japanese guy I met had no hint of racism or arrogance, maybe a little national pride, but not in an assertive sense. Only because he neglected to realise that his observations about Korean thinking was also true of Japan. He readily stood corrected. Its one of the nice qualities in Japan, mainly from the women because they don't feel the need to beat their chest. The problem I had with Japanese is the lack of ambition.
