With long wait times in the public sector, demand is rising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/japan-now-home-to-almost-8-5-million-empty-houses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Japan now home to almost 8.5 million empty houses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the government is seeking at least 300,000 foreigners to study in the country every year. Investors are finding opportunities with international and domestic students who are seeking modern, trendy accommodation over outdated ones and looking to skirt high upfront costs commonly demanded by private landlords.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the ineluctable rise of the sharing economy is propelling co-living arrangements across the archipelago. Co-living brands, including Sakura House and Bamboo House,\u00a0have established their presence in the country of late.<\/p>\n<p>Operational elements of these businesses, such as specialist staff and management, are not necessarily a negative for real estate investors, assured Naito. \u201cMany properties in these sectors are owned by the operators, so a relationship with operators is potentially one of the best ways to source product.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Living\u2019 sectors in the ascendant as demographic changes roil the
