Investing in Tokyo properties

[Luke65]

With the cooling measures and limited growth in local properties now, anyone invested or looking to invest in Tokyo properties? Any advice?
Thanks in advance

This has been discussed recently. You probably can still find it.

See if you are keen to explore UK Student Accommodation investment?

Japan economy has been sliding since late 80s until now and it has lost its second top world economy status to China.

With greying japanese population, low birth rate and japanese only mentality, it is hard to attract population increase. One way down.

@mygeemeel, thanks there is a thread on Japan financing. Perhaps i have missed another discussion?

But i'm looking at more specifically Tokyo city properties. Wondering if any bros here have experience and views on investing in this aspect http://www.condosingapore.com/forums...d.php?p=462002

@RoystonH8, probably not looking at your launch now.

Property price depends on:

1) Population- the bigger the better.
2) GDP growth.
3) Jobless rate.
4) interest rate.

I have several tokyo properties and for me it is a good place to invest ,

Prices are very reasonable and stable
central tokyo population is growing ( rural is declining )
Quality is high and tenants are reliable
You can buy a unit the equivalent of an ardmore park unit for the price of an MM here , yields are 5-8%
taxes on buying and selling are minimal
I think Singapore will in the future face the stagnation in prices that Japan has already seen
