Seattle Couple Buys 100-Year-Old Japanese Farmhouse for $30K After Being Priced Out of Local Housing Market

This couple was priced out of the Seattle housing market, so they bought a 100-year-old farmhouse in Japan for just $30K.

The cheap real estate and slower pace of life compared to expensive Seattle appealed to them.

The property is close to public transportation and walkable areas, unlike their reliance on cars in Washington.

They want to pursue their hobbies like beekeeping and have a pizza oven, achieving their retirement goals sooner.

While immigrating to Japan can be difficult, you can invest in real estate without being a landlord through REITs and real estate platforms.
