Question by Expat_Investor: Reliable property consultant of buying foreclosed properties in Japan?
Hello Everyone,

I’m an Expat in Japan for almost 5 years now. I find it interesting to buy a foreclosed property in Japan since I heard some good feedback from my friends who already bought property and they are now earning a pretty good return-on-investment.

Most of them suggested that it is wise to look for a low profile but reliable property agent company rather than a big real-estate consulting company that is composed of many employees. It is because you can get an advantage in terms of service fee. One of my friends told me that there is a company called “Mizushima Co. Japan Foreclosed Properties” managed by Akiyama who helped him in gettting a practical bidding amount and now he got the property from Nagano for a very cheap price. Can you imagine a 100sqm house and lot for just 1,640,000 Japanese Yen? He is very glad because he trusted this company even if they just communicated through email. That was really great!

I would like to talk to the owner of Mizushima Co. face to face to consult my property requirements and definitely get their assistance service. I got their email address and will coordinate with them this weekend. Is there anyone here also interested in buying foreclosed properties in Japan? Let’s share our ideas! Thank you in advance.

I am also interested in buying real estate in Japan. I want to rent them out and earn passive income.
The earned income will be used for buying my own residencial house. Because, currently I’m renting an apartment for JPY 70,000 per month. If I can possibly buy a low-price apartment, I can save more. Furthermore, I had a bad experience in investing stocks.

So, If there is an opportunity to buy a cheap foreclosed property but with high yield, I will definitely invest my money. I think the usual profit of other than foreclosed properties can be up to 10 percent. But, I found a website of “Mizushima Co. Japan Foreclosed Properties” , and it seems there is an investor who successfully got a property with 25 percent yield. I’m also very interested to talk with the owner of this property consulting company. Let’s work on our investment adventures! Good luck to both of us.

Question by azntennisguy: What can I legally do to fight back a commercial landlord who discriminately declines us an option to renew?
My family purchased a Chinese restaurant business in a commercial shopping center about five years ago in California and our five year lease is up in August. The owner of the commercial property has not offered our restaurant business an option to renew our lease. We had already invested a couple of hundred thousand dollars in this business (including expensive computer and kitchen equipment), but as the end of the lease approaches, we’re scared that we can’t even sell the restaurant off even if we wanted to. I have spoken with the Asset Manager of the company that owns the property and he said that he cannot give us a long-term lease but we can pay rent on a month-to-month basis.

When I asked why couldn’t we get a long-term lease renewal, he originally said that they were going to do some remodeling on the entire front building complex (the building’s arcade) after our lease ends sometime while we’re paying rent on a month-to-month basis and then he said that we will need to vacate the premises once construction actually starts (he also said that he was going to give us a 30-day notice to vacate as well). But then I asked if we could get our original business location back after construction has completed… A moment later he said that there’s going to be a “70% chance that there’s going to be investment in the property” so that they can “change up the assortment of tenants on the property” towards a specific marketing concept where there will be select requirements for the new tenants: business income level, type of business, ability to pay higher rent, etc. I don’t exactly know what kind of “marketing concept” he was going for or even if restaurants were a part of that marketing concept equation’s composition.

It’s interesting to note that some of our family business’ neighboring tenants are also of Asian-descent, but they have about two years of their lease left. I just found it odd that they were targeting our mom and pop businesses and slowly try to get us out of the shopping center.

Can this company just kick us out like that? Isn’t there some sort of California Commercial Code that says this illegal? But more specifically (and what my family’s more concerned about), is there any way to make the company help us recoup our losses from having to find another location for our restaurant business?

Best answer:

Answer by STEVEN F
They are NOT targeting you. They are getting rid of EVERYONE as soon as their leases are up, because they are legally required to honor the existing leases. NO state requires ANY landlord to renew leases. Any lose is an INHERENT risk of operating a business. You have NO claim. As it stands, you were given more notice than legally required. Find a new location BEFORE August.
