Besides price, what should I research for an investment property in Shibuya?
Answer
Beyond price, check comparable transactions, official land values, transport, land-use conditions, building management, repairs and rental demand. Separate public-area research from property-level due diligence.
Research items
- Nearby actual transaction prices
- Official land values and location conditions
- Management and long-term repairs
- Rent, vacancy and exit-price assumptions
Caution
A popular location can still produce a weak return if the acquisition price is too high. Evaluate location quality and investment economics separately.
