Are you looking for a property that perfectly matches your requirements? ~The idea isn't to find a 100-point property, but to nurture it to 100 points~
Introduction When discussing real estate investment in Sapporo with individuals considering or planning to purchase income-generating properties, we often hear the phrase, "There aren't many good properties available." It's true that compared to the past, selecting properties has become more challenging due to factors such as rising real estate prices and interest rate trends. However, upon closer examination of these conversations, we've noticed that it's not uncommon for people to be searching for properties that meet "100% of their criteria," rather than a lack of good properties. Real estate investment is by no means an inexpensive purchase, so we understand the desire to be cautious. However, excessive caution can lead to passing up opportunities on properties that would otherwise be a good investment.

Is the introduced property really a good one? How to think about real estate investment without being swayed by off-market or under-the-table deals.
Introduction You might have heard these terms before if you're involved in real estate investment: "Off-market properties" "Under-the-radar deals" "Members-only properties" "Referral-only deals" Many investors likely feel a sense of exclusivity when they hear these phrases. In fact, when I speak with investors, I often receive inquiries like: "Do you have any off-market properties?" "I'd like you to introduce me to income-generating properties that aren't publicly advertised." It's true that properties not yet on the market seem to have fewer competitors, giving the impression that they can be purchased favorably. However, there's one thing I'd like everyone to consider calmly: Are referral-only or off-market properties truly good deals? …

Hello everyone! Thank you for waiting! ...You were waiting, weren't you? Haha. Recently, thankfully, more and more people have been telling me, "I read your blog!" (Actually, I keep it a secret at work that I write a blog, haha.) Just that one sentence makes me incredibly happy, simple as I am. Haha. So everyone!!! Do you have any hobbies? I'm quite a hobbyist, really. I enjoy watching movies, soccer (both playing and watching), darts, video games, jigsaw puzzles, and more... Before I know it, I'm doing something on my days off. Haha. But hobbies aren't just about "liking" something, they're also about... - being able to lose track of time and immerse yourself in it - finding yourself researching it without realizing it - wanting to know more and more - how many times...
Is that rent really appropriate? Are you deciding the rent for your property based on a “hunch”?
When investing in real estate, many people focus on the “purchase.” What area is good? What about the yield? What are the financing terms? Will it appreciate in the future? Of course, these are all very important. However, what greatly affects actual profits is “post-purchase management.” Among these, "rent setting" is particularly important. If the current rent is too high compared to the market, it can lead to vacancy risk, and conversely, if it is too low, you may be missing out on profits that you could have otherwise earned. However, in reality, there are many cases where rent is set "vaguely" with reasons like: "This was the rent from the previous management company." "I've been renting it out for this amount for a long time." "It's currently occupied, so I haven't touched it."

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Recently, the mornings have been getting warmer, and there are more and more days where we can greet the morning feeling refreshed. I find myself thinking, "Was the morning always this pleasant?" and it feels like a little bonus. Haha. Actually, since the end of January, I've been waking up a little earlier to go to the gym! You might be thinking, "Huh? What's gotten into you?" But there's only one reason. I've gained quite a bit of weight ( ;∀;) On January 1st, my weight was... 95kg!!! I was surprised myself. Haha. What's more, recently a customer said something to me. "Ozaki-san, did you do judo?" I proudly replied, "No, I played soccer!" But...

Speed is number one
In the real estate industry, speed is the ultimate differentiator. This is something I often feel when working in the real estate industry: in the end, what separates the successful from the rest is “speed.” People with knowledge. People who are good at sales. People who speak eloquently. Of course, these are all important. However, when I observe people who are truly trusted by clients or who attract good deals, I see a common trait: they are people who “move fast.” Fast response. Fast confirmation. Fast decision-making. Fast action. Simply by doing these things, the flow of work truly changes. The world of investment real estate, in particular, is a speed race. Good properties simply disappear while you're pondering. That's why I've always believed, "First and foremost...
Aiming for capital gains? Or income? - The “Essence of Real Estate Investment” That Such Arguments Alone Can't Reveal”
When discussing real estate investment, the terms "Are you aiming for capital gains?" and "Are you aiming for income?" almost always come up. Are you aiming for profit from price appreciation? Or are you accumulating monthly rental income? Real estate investment is a world often discussed in these two options. Of course, this way of thinking is not wrong. However, after being in the real estate industry for a long time, you realize that there are many investors who cannot be explained by these two options alone. Rather, those who truly build wealth tend to not divide themselves so simply into "I am a capital gains investor" or "I am an income investor." This time, we will discuss "capital gains," "income," and multiple other aspects of real estate investment...

What's it like in Hokkaido "outside of Sapporo"? Considering areas strong with inbound tourism, and the potential for real estate and minpaku (private lodging).
When you think of Hokkaido, Sapporo is indeed the center. A large portion of the population, jobs, transportation, and commercial functions are concentrated in Sapporo, and Hokkaido's economic sphere, for better or worse, is built on this "Sapporo-centric" structure. However, in recent years, changes have begun to emerge in this structure. The areas that are strongly capturing inbound demand have seen particularly significant changes. The increase in foreign tourists has not only turned them into mere tourist destinations but has also transformed the regional economy itself, including the "accommodation industry," "real estate investment," and "minpaku (homestay) operations." This time, focusing on Niseko, Toyako Town, Furano, Biei Town, and Asahikawa, we will explore how "Hokkaido with strong inbound demand" is changing and what strategies can be considered from the perspective of real estate and minpaku.
