    Has anyone tried to borrow money from Japan to buy property else were . You can get it at about 1.7% if you borrow at least $100,000 US .

    you have to look at that exchange rate

    interest rate is good but you can’t predict what your repayments will be due to the constant foreign exchange rates.

    Hi Rick

    do you know if the Japanese will lend if
    1. you want to buy property outside of Japan
    2. you are not a resident of Japan
    3. what type of security needs to be lodged for the loan, and should it be lodegd in Japan?

    if yes, can you give details of which financial institutions in Japan will do this.

    its an interesting idea
    cheers BJ

    I used to live in Japan, and have looked at it. NAB, and ANZ will lend up to 70% LVR in Japanese yen for property in Australia. But you must be working in Japan, earning yen. If you even leave Japan (ie stop working there), the loan must be renegoitated and changed into AUD.
