Unfortunately, I don't have a Japanese wife, which is almost compulsory for a gaijin. Also, these kinds of interest rates, are usually open only for a house that you live in versus an investment property. Sometimes investment properties can see a return of around 20 per cent.

I have a friend who has some experience in doing this if you are interested. I have thought about this many a time.
