What's the Difference Between Retail Properties and Residential Properties? Merits and Risks to Consider for Real Estate Investment
不動産投資を検討していると、「店舗とレジでは、どちらが良いのでしょうか」と聞かれることがあります。 レジとは、マンションやアパートなどの居住用物件です。店舗は飲食店、美容室、物販店、事務所など、事業を行うために借りられる物件を指します。 どちらも収益不動産ですが、融資、退去理由、修繕費、空室期間など、性質は違います。 結論から申し上げると、万人に共通する正解はありません。ただ、私は店舗物件が好みです。今回は、その理由をお話しします。 レジデンスの強みは、需要の分かりやすさと融資の受けやすさ 住む場所は、景気にかかわらず必要になる レジデンスの大きな強みは、賃貸需要を比較的読みやすいことです。 …

Hello everyone!! I always thought Hokkaido didn't have a rainy season, but last week the weather was just like it! After several damp days, this week suddenly became this hot! It's so hot it doesn't feel like Hokkaido, but is everyone doing okay? As for me, because of this heat, I haven't been able to go to the gym much. lol I'm definitely not being lazy. It's because of the heat. ... Probably. lol However, I haven't lost my appetite due to the summer heat, and I'm eating well every day! In fact, I feel like I'm eating more than usual. lol Fortunately, my health is in good condition!! My weight is also progressing well... I'll talk about that later...

Newer property with low yield vs. older property with high yield: which should you choose in the end?
Are you choosing properties based solely on yield? "Should you buy a property that is newly built with a yield of around 6%, or a property that is over 30 years old with a yield exceeding 10%?" This is a question I often receive from those who are investing in real estate in Sapporo or are considering starting. To get straight to the point, I do not believe that "newly built is good" or "old is bad." Conversely, I also do not judge based on "high yield is good" or "low yield is bad." In fact, I myself sometimes purchase newly built properties and sometimes purchase older properties. What's important is how much profit the property can generate in the future. Real estate investment involves purchasing...
I can keep trying because I have a hobby.
First, everyone, do you have any hobbies? My hobbies are watching baseball, playing mahjong, and playing golf. As I'm from the Kansai region, I've been a Hanshin Tigers fan since I was little. When I was in elementary school, I joined their fan club and liked player Hamanaka. Even after moving to Hokkaido, I continued to watch baseball, but last year when I went to ES CON FIELD for the first time, I was truly astonished. To be honest, before I went, I just thought, "It's probably just a new stadium." However, when I actually went there, it far surpassed my imagination. The stadium's atmosphere, the completeness of its facilities, the abundance of restaurants, and most importantly, the ingenuity evident everywhere to make the baseball viewing experience itself enjoyable. While watching the game, I seriously thought, "I want to come here many times."
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.

Everyone!! (More excited than usual! lol) Suddenly, did you know that AI fortune-telling is currently popular? Actually, if you input a certain phrase into Google's AI, "Gemini," it will tell your fortune in a style similar to Kazuko Hosoki! I tried it half-skeptically... but surprisingly, I feel like it's accurate. lol Of course, it's fortune-telling, so whether you believe it or not is up to you, but personally, I enjoyed it quite a bit! If you're interested, please contact me! I'll tell you the secret. lol And if you could recommend some properties while you're at it, I'd be very happy m(__)m Now, I have one more announcement today. Actually, the most...
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."
