In this book, two "real estate beginners" (Sakura and Suzuki) introduce easy-to-understand real estate investment techniques using manga. Starting capital is 3 million yen and up, with annual rental income of 10 million yen. A must-read for beginners, experienced investors, and those who want to start a side business! The best introduction to real estate investment by the author who continues to manage fully occupied properties.
