IIRC Japan's more or less the hardest country out there to immigrate to.

I can imagine this would make your taxes wacky

I could feasibly make $4k pretty quickly, I want my own home, and I've always wanted to visit Japan... 🤔

because it's falling apart and needs a lot of investment to renovate and make it habitable.

I understand the Japanese don't like old houses. Homes are regularly torn down and rebuilt. Do some research, but it might not cost as much as in the West to rebuild.

You can actually do this in most countries. Public Auctions of homes are for when people don't pay land taxes so the local auditors repossess them and sell them dirt cheap to cover the amount due.

You certainly can't buy a home in Germany that's anywhere close to as cheap as the one in japan. Maybe there are some very remote plots of land with a ruin of a house on it, but those will still cost more than 4000€.

Public auctions around my area usually start at around 150k or more, so it's just not worth it for me.
