I just can't bring myself to move the yen right now because of the amazingly weak yen situation.
At the moment, I would like to buy a house in Japan to secure a place to stay in Japan, as I would like to live a hybrid lifestyle in the future.
In addition to the property tax in Japan,
are there any other taxes that would apply if I owned land in another country in the U.S. ?
Are there any documents that I need to obtain from the consulate or other authorities when I purchase a house in Japan?
Do I have to file a tax return with the IRS for deposits in Japan,
or do I have to file for land, houses, etc. ?
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had similar experiences, any problems, good or bad, etc.

AI predictions say it will eventually reach 230 yen per dollar. If I don't move now, I will lose a lot of money.

> Do I have to declare my land, house, etc. ?

I heard that property tax in Japan was deductible in the US until a few years ago although I don't have to. I heard that if you rent out your house in Japan, you have to declare your rental income in the US.

>hybrid living

Do you have permanent residency in Japan? It would be miserable if you have a place to live in Japan but not the right to live there, like the Chinese who buy a bomb of Japanese real estate but cannot live in Japan.

>Hybrid Living

Even if you have relatives and family in Japan, it is still uncomfortable to have them stay there all the time. Hotels are expensive.
Every time I go back to Japan, I wish I had my own house where I can live without any worries.

> AI predictions say it will eventually be 230 yen to the dollar. Is it a big loss if I don't move now

How can you trust AI so much?

You will get burned if you take a gamble.

( LOL ) The yen has appreciated by about 20 yen compared to 2 months ago
If you spend your Japanese yen in Japan, the weak yen doesn't matter
If you want to convert your Japanese yen to dollars, now is a good time to do so
I wonder 。。。。
By the way, are you going to buy a house with cash ? or is this just a dream for the next few decades ? the laws will have changed by then.......no need to talk about it now.
