My husband and I want to move back to Japan either part or full time for retirement or maybe as part of a coastfire situation. We are 35/40, currently based in US with liquid assets around $400k and non-liquid that we could borrow against but prefer not to sell around $1M (retirement / primary residence, etc).
We don’t find it likely that we would make this move sooner than 5 years from now. What’s the best way for us to invest in housing for that point in the future?
-
We could buy something now but (1) housing in Japan is not usually a good long term investment and (2) we would have to figure out how to manage renting out the property remotely for several years.
-
We could just invest in Yen? I don’t really know much about this or if we expect it to ever return to “normal”.
-
Leave investments as-is and worry about this later?
-
Other options?
tia for your input!
