Many overseas property owners overlook the repair reserve fund when calculating the costs of investing in Japanese real estate, despite it being a recurring expense.
Characteristics of the Repair Reserve Fund
1. It requires a fixed payment almost every month
2. They are often adjusted incrementally over time as the property ages
3. This expenditure continues even during periods of vacancy
Many owners may consider the burden acceptable when calculating only the management fees and reserve fund at the time of purchase. However, as time passes and the building enters its mid-to-late maintenance phase with the commencement of long-term repair plans, monthly expenditures gradually increase, squeezing profits.
Only by factoring in future increases in the reserve fund, alongside vacancy risks and equipment replacement, does the true outline of returns become apparent. If you already own Japanese property but lack a systematic grasp of the full holding costs, we recommend periodically re-evaluating them.
We provide comprehensive support for your property management, including objective projections and identifying potential risks. Should you have any queries regarding the reserve fund, please do not hesitate to contact us.
