Has anyone tried to purchase real estate in Japan as a foreigner? Apart from the language, curious if there were any other difficult issues.
I know people who have done it with both, and anticipate doing it myself, likely the hard way because I seem to enjoy doing things the hard way at least once in my life.

haha. so if you don't have permanent residence status, option a) wouldn't work? I was under the impression that you didn't need residency, but Google could be wrong hehe

You don't strictly speaking need permanent residency to *purchase* property in Japan, but you'll (almost certainly) need it to convince a bank to underwrite a mortgage for you.
