FREE GUIDE: How to Buy an Akiya as a Foreigner: https://stan.store/shumatsuopost

I interviewed Laurent Bernut who owns 7 apartment buildings and an akiya, totaling 97 units in Japan. So he has 96 long-term tenants paying him every month. Plus, he is in the process of converting the akiya into an Airbnb so he’ll be collecting income from that house once it’s open to the public this summer.

So in this video, Laurent is going to talk about his journey to Japan and how he built a real estate empire in Japan as a gaijin who didn’t come from money. If you want to grow your real estate business, you’re gonna want to watch this.
