indosnm 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 FT but if they divert the assets before death you avoid death tax though some tax is payable, not as much.. Called estate planning most people here wouldn't have a god damn clue. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Yes indo it is, I think all of my in laws properties are in our name right now, or set up to be if one person dies. The mother in-law is bang on with this stuff. GN are foreign investors exposed to the Japanese inheritance laws? Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Originally Posted By: Fattwins Too rich for my blood! Thats a huge amount of risk if it is that much. You coud say the whole little experiment here was a risk from the very start but plenty of people have made a bucket load of cash on taking that risk. 450 tsubo is a decent size and it would be easy enough to put in an apartment block that would make you a very nice profit... Apartments in that part of the village will sell no problems at all. I work with the largest property developer in Hirafu and I can assure you that demand is still very strong. There seems to be no shortage of really rich people. Like most of us on here though I look at these prices with wide eyed bemusement. If only I'd had a few hundred grand to invest a few years ago, I could probably have retired by now... Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Some people have way too much money. How distressing. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Still a lot of risk unless you are already at that money level. The land that made people rich was a small fraction of that. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 If you bought that land, built apartments on it and sold all but one (which you rented out/used yourself) you could end up with YOUR apartment free and clear. A lot of the people investing have the money to do this - Hirafu gets some more accomodation for the hoardes, the smaller investors/dream chasers have something to buy, and the property developer has got himself a nice little apartment for his trouble. That's how it is working. The market has not peaked yet. But it is too pricey for us now, as well. Link to post Share on other sites
