1. Surface yield traps
Rent divided by price ignores vacancy, repairs, fees, tax, insurance. Small units often churn tenants, so void loss stacks up.
2. When price appreciation accelerates
Rates, FX, and supply can align to lift prices—or thin liquidity first when they reverse. Start financial conditions with BOJ statistics.
3. Breakeven sheet
- 5y/10y cumulative cash flow (after-tax sketch).
- Sale band for acquisition, holding, and disposal costs.
- Survival under +100bp rates.
4. MLIT for market structure
Use MLIT for land/building/trade rules. Not tax or legal advice.
5. Closing
Small tickets often pair “high headline yield” with high volatility. Always carry two scenarios.
