Real estate are good investment only if location choosed good and smart

[sergiorus]

After doing my research, I understand that investors in real estate do not care about natural disasters if the location is very profitable.

Earthquakes happen in Japan, Turkey, and China. China has the largest production companies in the world. Owning land there in a business-oriented area is a good investment, not minding if earthquakes happen.

There are areas in Japan that are not good to invest into real estate. And that's why houses are even given for free and there are no takers. That's because one of the reasons why no one wants to take it is about how prone it is with natural disasters such with earthquakes. But one of the biggest reasons is also about being possibly haunted so that reduces the value of the house. The culture itself is the main reason why the houses becomes cheap and despite that, no one is interested to buy. So, as long as the location can be profitable, you're right that they might be interested in it.

All of Japan is prone to earthquakes.
Some areas have very cheap housing indeed but that's because those areas are depopulated and barely have any economy running.
Half of Japan resides in Tokyo or nearby.

Earthquakes or natural disaster have never been real obstacles when it comes to real estate investment. In reality, professional investor have never really cared about those thing. Only small, inexperienced investors would let these factor influence them and consider them reasons not to invest.

In real estate investment, what really matters is location and demand in that area. Therefore, if you want to invest, instead of worrying about natural disaster, focus on assessing growth potential and actual demand in the area.

The Truth is that there's no Investment that is risk free, of course every Investment has some level of risk although the risk differs but even as that it all boils down to risk that is why I'm not always afraid to invest in whatever thing I wish to invest, in life if you don't take risk there's no way you will become successful. I believe majority of the rich people today has story to tell regarding this aspect of risk, forget the fact that they are now living a very simple life I mean. no stress, no risk, it's because they have gone past that stage of taking risk so they are enjoying the reward. So we shouldn't allow fear to hinder us from taking risk rather we need to know the kind of risk to take.

It's okay to be a risk taker as long as we know what we're investing. If we're fearless, that's good and that means that we've used to investing.
There are investments that can easily be taken with the risk that it has got because we understand it.
But for some investors who are blindly investing, they're doing a mistake of what they do.
If it's with real estate, they're only buying it due to impulse buying and didn't considered a lot of factors before doing so.
With that, I guess that the agent or the seller is good enough to convince these blind real estate investor which their property is set on a bad area.

One attraction that they do is about letting foreigners invest in there. But without having an idea of the entire history of the area and the property itself gives a false hope to many investors. They're going to spend more with the renovation based on most of those buyers that have recorded their purchases. The cheap houses are enticing but when it's about the paper works and renovations, they're not surprised that it's more than the buying price. If I am a traveler and would like to embrace new culture and so wealthy, I wouldn't mind taking care of those abandon houses and will make something out of it like a test and trial and see if there can be some appreciation that can be done through it since a lot of people are obsessed with that country.
