I Found a Buyer for My $24,000 Abandoned Japan House

I bought an abandoned house in Japan for $24,000.

Not long after, I found a buyer.

Sounds simple, right?

It wasn’t.

From the outside, it looks like an easy win.
Buy low. Renovate. Sell higher.

But the real story is different.

There were hidden costs.
Unexpected decisions.
And moments where the numbers didn’t look so great.

In this video, I walk through everything.

The full deal.
From ¥3.5M purchase to ¥8.9M sale.
What I spent. What I made. What I didn’t expect.

You’ll also see how the actual buyer meeting went.

And what closing a property in Japan really looks like.

If you’re thinking about akiya or investing in Japan,
this is something you’ll want to see first.

Because the profit isn’t always what you think.
