Step 1. Prepare your financial plan
We need to consider not only the purchase price of the real estates but also costs to purchase real estates, costs to maintain real estates and costs to sell real estates.

Step 2. Search real estate properties in Japan.
It is difficult to find good real estate properties by ourselves. Key for the successful investment is to find a trustful real estate broker.

Step 3. Visit Japan and check properties
We need to investigate the condition of the properties and environment. Let’s image the life of lessees.

1). Submit application form to purchase a property
