Hi, I'm considering buying a "cheap" / small house somewhere around Tokyo (Chiba, Ibaraki, Kanagawa). I just started to do my research and the questions I'm asking might sound stupid. (a) What are the general requirements for a foreigner to buy a house if purchased WITHOUT a loan (I have a lot of savings and I don't want to take a loan > is it even possible to go without a loan/ bank? Bc I only find information on that.) (b) Except for the property price that's shown on Suumo, what costs do I have to think of when buying a house (which insurance do I need? what kind of taxes? any additional costs?)
My Japanese is perfectly fine, so I would not need much help with that in the buying process. (I am living and working in Japan for many years now.)
