But to be realistic, we need to include estimated **home insurance**, **property tax** and **maintenance** costs in our calculations. In other words: the realistic **adjusted yield is closer to 10%**. That’s still well above average for urban Japan rentals, especially in a stable commuter location like Yokohama. --- ### 🏦 Why This Property Works for Income Generation Many akiya investors chase the dream of a cheap countryside home to live in, but this is Yokohama City: one of Japan’s **largest and most dynamic urban centers**.
