The Japanese real estate market has high barriers-to-entry and asymmetric information flows.
Even Registry information related to real estate is only available in Japanese.
We believe that our deep local relationships with various counterparties and our hands-on experiences allow us to identify the investment opportunities on the inefficient market.
We are focusing on finding investment opportunities/properties which are typically not operated well to their maximum potential at the time of our investment. Some real estate properties have certain compliance issues and a lack of maintenance that have potential to generate higher income if we improve the issues properly. We utilize our own experience with third-party professionals to realize the intrinsic value of assets.
Capital Brain’s senior professionals have developed deep-rooted local relationships in the private real estate industry through multiple real estate boom-and-bust cycles, and have always executed investment opportunities in the market.
