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.

Signs of life in Japanese government policy

Already there are signs that the new Japanese government is looking at policies to stimulate economic activity. The Japanese government has bureaucrats around the world which look at public policy ideas in various countries. The new Japanese government appears to be taking several policy ideas from Australia (not necessarily the originator):
1. Immigration - The LDP could not sell the idea of increased immigration, though the current government is considering such a move.
2. Cash incentives for new parents - Australia had the $5000 baby bonus

The aging of the Japanese population and declining population thanks to a higher death rate than birth rate is the reason for the policy. This of course is good news for property buyers; particularly property buyers in the fringe areas of the major cities. We know immigrants prefer the larger cities (say over 2mil population) for several reasons:
1. Greater support from fellow country people
2. The availability of services for their culture, e.g. Local government info in multiple languages
3. Greater job potential
4. Less discrimination
5. Greater availability of accommodation
The outer areas become more popular because of the high cost of land in inner city areas. Many Asian immigrants will of course be accustomed to living in small apartments....but Japanese 'boxes'? One can expect property near outer satellite city stations to attract the greater share of interest.
This policy will of course take time to unfold. Japan is currently subdued like the rest of the globe, but expect other stimulus coming out of the recession. Recently the outer suburbs have experienced population losses as people were moving into apartments in the inner city. Its probable that foreigners would offset this trend to some extent in years to come.

Outlook for Japan

Most property buyers in Japan tend to be Japanese residents. For them the prospect of buying in Japan is less controversial. The reasoning goes: You need a house, foreclosed properties are a huge discount to market price, there is a huge inventory of foreclosed properties ensuring a good choice....where do I buy your book? :)
These people can also look abroad, but not knowing when they are going home, and the issues of looking for property abroad, and not wanting to put all their money in gold, is probably going to lead them to Japanese property. Fine.
That said, the Japanese economy is likely to perform well in future....after the slump that is. There are some promising aspects about Japan:
1. Reform-minded government can be expected
2. Household debt has wound back over the last 16 years
3. Low interest rates

When we look at Japan, one cannot ignore the relationship of Japan to its neighbouring countries. Aside from holding a lot of US treasuries (for what they are worth), Japanese enterprise has a lot of investment in Asia. The question of when and if Japan will allow increased foreign immigration is difficult to say. I tend to think it will target higher productivity and retraining rather than imported labour. We must remember that Japan is effectively outsourcing jobs already. There are Filipinos, Chinese, etc doing contract work for Japanese companies, both in Japan and outside. This is a global trend. So the question then becomes simply who will care and entertain the aging parents. Probably middle aged children and robotic pet dogs.
