Property management is important in real estate investment, but there are many different issues with overseas real estate than with domestic real estate. If a problem occurs, the owner may not be able to immediately go and check on the property, and there are also differences in business practices between countries.

Because of the time difference, the key is speed of response. Criteria for choosing a company include "whether they can provide the necessary information immediately," "whether they provide regular reports," and "whether they can respond outside of business hours, on weekends, and on holidays."

When investing in overseas real estate, the first thing to consider is the language barrier. Even if the documents are sent to you, they are not in Japanese, so you don't know who to ask. There is no one you can trust. It is difficult to make a decision because you don't understand the laws of other countries.
