    One of the most critical parts of a house renovation project is the work of subcontractors, in terms of their competence, scheduling ability (when to start, duration of work, costing of materials and labour, contingency planning), etc. You had videos showing the frustration of dealing with the first carpenter (and his wife) to remove the post, and the satisfaction of working with 2 young carpenters (after replacing the first carpenter). How would you characterize your overall experience with local Japanese subcontractors, including for things like electrical/gas/plumbing, etc.? You have lived in Japan for several years, speak Japanese fluently, and know people in the trades; as such, you are certainly ahead of many foreigners who are considering to buy and renovate an akiya in Japan. They will inevitably run into the proverbial brick wall in many instances, especially in dealing with the subcontractors.

    I KNEW YOU WOULD CHANGE THE REAL ESTATE WORLD OF JAPAN!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! YOU DID IT!!! MARRIAGE AND A BABY? 😊❤

  • @roiblack8587

    55.000 USD ?! For a renovated house in Tokyo? Wow. So amazing.

  • @rikaft7355

    55k is too much ngl. You can buy secondhand house in japan for 30k well furnished, no need more renovations, has a parking lot and has 5 bedrooms 😂

  • @KickAssets

    You mentioned how there was zero value in the house in your short. Did it really say that on the paper? Of all my houses in Japan, no matter how old or bad the condition, NONE of them ever said zero value on paper. And none of them were even that close to zero. My biggest project (which was my first big one as well) in Saitama took me 8 months on my own and 2.5 million yen to complete. Congrats to you. I know it's a lot of work, but I also know it can be a lot of fun...especially when you get to the end and you think, "Did I just do all that?" lol

  • @eikajackmanakiyama-sc8cf

    The price quoted in the video (55k USD) are only the renovation costs. I would estimate that the land purchase price would be as much as 5-6 times this in that area of Tokyo, Bringing the total price of the house likely between 350k - 400k USD. Still, pretty amazing job!

  • @speedmao1

    It is so nice how you acknowledge all the people who helped you, with their names

  • @masegraye

    Wait did he spend 52k more than he planned for budget?

  • @zamis21

    Wait!! Abroad in Japan as well lol I followed your trip with the house! It was so great to see the work progress and watch you grow. Congratulation!!!

  • @UnimportantAcc

    I'd say that's $55k well spent, absolutely beautiful job. Love the gentle mix of Scandi+Authentic Japanese design

  • @anthonylamesa7619

    Nordic and Japanese designs are my favorite -- so combining them is delightful.

  • @YECRED22

    Wow! Congratulations Anton! The house looks beautiful!

  • @vigerminaberrios4116
