Dude, house 3 for sure! Find a monk, a priest and a shaman to come bless the house and make a lowball offer. And sleep with the lights on at night. š

It would have been interesting to hear Brandon's story, such as: is he planning to live full time in Japan? On what visa? Or is he planning to rent it out? (it didn't sound like it). What's he doing living in Korea?
-
I'd 200% go for that Akiya over the two other options, at that price point you can easily renovate as much as you'd like to make it look how you like and yeah..
-
I like this format alot. I'd love to hear more about Brandon's story and his plans for japan / why hes in Korea and what he does for work etc. maybe in the follow up?
-
Just some context about Brandon's mentioning of what can $257,000 buy in WA. My sister bought a house 30 years ago for $150,000. It's a 5 bedroom house with a 2 car garage. Over 2200 ft^2. It's now worth over $700,000 at today's market price..
-
pay cash on 3 because it is the least lived in, and easier to make your own with light renovation, build a garage, design your own garden and the savings can build your furniture collection or business
-
So many questions about the buyer........If Brandon is living in Korea, why is he moving to Japan? From the sounds of it, he plans to live there and not rent it out. Is that correct? Why does he want to move to Saitama? Does he work remotely so he could live there and work from there?
-
Wow 3rd one definitely is a beauty on its own if you put work into it. To me the 1st and 3rd one seems the most promising if you factor in the surroundings. Very peaceful and lots of land to build whatever you want, a koi pond, pool, whatever. 2nd one is very modern and good also but too many people around lol.
-
#3 easily! Make renovations pay respect to the owner and move on
-
Beautiful home. Good choice. The third house is really nice too with a lot of land
-
#1 next to some sort of waterway seems dangerous Should check hazard map
-
I do love #2 just needs some updates which is additional money but love the closeness to the station
-
hmm 1 was massive....buying a regular house (not akiya) does also seem cheap but once you go over about 200-250k there's a lot less of an incentive and more drawbacks start to add up...pretty rare to have 250k in liquid cash to drop...
-
that 2nd house is beautiful. with a great location and just a nice amount of overall space. if I had the money, I'd go for that one too. wow. very nice. best of luck to Brandon.
-
I like number 3 best for the price. I could happily live there.
-
Where can I find the listing for the first house shown in this video and if you know if itās still up for sale? Iām quite interested in it after seeing it
-
Number 2 is fabulous, but over my budget.
-
Wow that first room would be perfect for me I would convert it to 3 bedroom house 2 in the second floor, one in the bottom and separate the kitchen from the dining room
-
#2 without a doubt.. Love that house..
