Thanks Jay, I appreciate that. Japanese real estate returns are quite good, I just worry about: 1. erosion of capital due to decreasing population/birthrate and virtually no immigration and 2. Asset deflation amidst dual impacts of China slowdown and US debt/inflation/slowdown.

That said, it is not difficult to find a relatively new building, well situated with high occupancy in Japan that, with a long term 2% +/- loan, generates ROR of 20%+. If you don't mind brothels (I think they call them love hotels) you can find up to 40%...but you may have to deal with guys with short curly hair and short pinkies.
