Dear Investors,

 

 

I surveyed an investment property in Nakameguro this afternoon.  The property’s details are as follow.  Nakameguro is becoming more popular than ever before among young people largely because of its proximity to Ebisu and Daikanyama and to fashion boutiques and nice restaurants.

Dear Investors,

 

 

Please look our February 4th and 12th blogs – ‘Breaking news! An attractive building in-between Roppongi and Hiroo is now for sale’. 

 

 

 

 

This property has just been sold and is no longer available for purchase.  Moreover, it has taken only two weeks for the property to sell.  The cliche ‘First comes, first served’ applies perfectly. 

 

 

Real estate in Minato-ku is hot, although Japanese economy has been sluggish.  Many investors keep an eye on what is going on with real estate in Minato-ku and jump onto good investment opportunities as soon as they appear on the market.

 

 

Because we don’t want you to miss out with good opportunities, we strongly recommend that you be prepared and know when to jump onto such opportunities.  For you to be able to move swiftly when the time comes, we also recommend that you prepare all necessary documents for lenders you are going to use and that you set your own criteria for purchase in advance.

 

 

You probably find what has just been stated basic.  But basics are often forgotten.

 

 

We are looking forward to the opportunity to serve to you.

 

 

Best regards,

Land: 55.57 sq. meters

Floor area: 237.31 sq. meters

 Although two more floors may be available in March, you should be able to find new occupants easily largely due to the property’s good location, in particular, proximity to Kanda and Akihabara.

 

Many industries will be interested in this location.

 

 

Best regards,

Dear Investors,

 

 

We found an interesting investment property in Koiwa of Katsushika-ku.  Its details are as follow:

Dear Investors,

 

 

We surveyed an interesting property on a prime location of Tokyo last week.   Please check our last blog for details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As mentioned in the previous blog, this location is and has always been one of the most sought-after areas in Tokyo.   International or Japanese families long to live this particular area of Tokyo largely because it has proximity to foreign embassies, first-class educational institutions, international grocery stores, a park, a public library, and  bustling commercial districts of Roppongi and Azabujuban. 

 

 

In other words, for many house seekers in Tokyo, it is a our-dream-come-true opportunity.  

 

 

Although the property’s yield is not so high, you can expect a stable cash-flow from rental units because there has always been and will always be high demand for residence or business.    And it is worthwhile to consider the property for a hub for your business because the area is well connected with the rest of Tokyo with Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Metro Oedo Line.

 

 

We hope you will consider this property for investment and/or residence.  Please let us know, if you are interested in it.

 

 

Best regards,
