Buying a Home in Tokyo! A Foreigner's Guide.

Let's meet up to talk about how we can buy a family home in Japan as a foreigner. How can you get financing? What are the conditions? Should you buy a house or apartment, new or used? These are all things we meet up to discuss and more. We will also give a demo using the Real Estate Agent only search portal, REINS, and give you time after the session to perform your own search on the system.

This is our 21st event and have a group of 10-20 attend each session (cross promoted on facebook).

Schedule:

6:15PM - Doors Open (chat, settle in)
6:30PM - Presentation Starts (approx 60mins)
7:30PM - Q&A + REINS Demo
8:30PM - Finish up.

For those still interested, 1on1 access to REINS Search, and discussion about your specific needs and situation.
The topics covered:

1. Financing from major banks (how to get 1% interest rates, how much can I borrow, residency requirements, what if you have a Japanese spouse etc.)

2. Associated costs

3. Property type (house or apartment, new or used) pros and cons.

4. Leaving Japan and your options

5. The buying process start to end

6. Property value impacting factors

This is a free event. Kids and babies are of course welcome. We have a small area set up with a sofa and toys, and cartoons on the TV. You can tend to the kids while still being able to participate in the discussion.
