Thinking in Portfolio Terms
Start with a low-complexity mansion apartment in a strong rental market. Diversify across cities (Tokyo for stability, Osaka/Fukuoka for yield) and property types. A GK (合同会社) costs ¥60,000-100,000 to establish and offers corporate tax rates, broader expense deductions, and simpler succession. Maintain 6-12 months of reserves. Think in decades, not quarters.
